And freezing rain here.

Last night, it went from pouring rain (1.35 inches) and 55 degrees to 18 degrees this morning. The door latch mechanism on my 1999 Jimmy was frozen solid on the driver's side because it was exposed to the most rain.

I was able to open the passenger door. The tricky part was scooching my butt over the tall console onto the driver's seat, and then pulling my legs across.

It wasn't bad then, but I got hit with a hugh backache this afternoon as a delayed reaction to those moves.
