If it gives our elected dimwits any problems, or inconveniences them in any way, it would all be worth it.

Am thinking I’ll go out to the garage and put battery chargers on the cars.

The “GOOD” part of this is that our Congress will be doing nothing - no new spending or taxes for at least a couple of days!

If your cars are in a garage, don't bother. If they're outside, you may want to if the temps get down below 0F. But that depends on how old and how charged the batteries are.

I live in Northern IL. It gets down to the minus temps at times. My car sits outside and has never needed a charger overnight.

Would be helpful if Congress could not meet for months.

I wonder how long it will take Obama to blame George Bush for the bad weather. (unladylike snort)

Here in Pittsburgh, it's starting to really snow now. We had some rain earlier, then some flurries; now it's the real thing.

Everyone in the path of this storm: Stay safe. If you can, stay home and post on FR.

Clicked on a couple of dots. Most of the time you can’t even see the vehicles.
