Today's tip: Don't wash the car at zero degrees
OK so yeah I'm not the brightest bear on the block...I'll admit it. I've been thinking about getting the car washed for several days, and I guess seeing "PLEASE WASH ME" written all over the salt and dirt grime on it made me feel sorry for it. You know me, I can't stand feeling sorry for someone and not doing something. So I get the bright idea that I can go to the local touchless car wash since it stays open no matter how cold it gets. It has automatic entrance and exit doors that open and close to keep the inside of it above freezing.

So much for a good idea that is badly executed. I get the car washed and then I proceed to exit the car wash. In the length of time it took me to drive out of the parking lot, the entire car was enrobed in a clear casing of ice. Windows froze shut, the doors sealed themselves up, and as I drove down the road towards home, the car was dispensing ice cubes into the air instead of water. Kinda like this...

Throwing hot water into cold air

It's so cold, even the weathermen are going nuts...

I actually had debated getting the car washed this past weekend. Waiting in the cold for my tires to get done cleared that plan up REAL quick.
