I'm almost positive Detroit has had the biggest snow amount difference between last year and this year out of all the states. With Detroit in bankruptcy, is the snow plow services even sufficient and have they been scaled back in any way?

All I know is I have a detached garage and its been impossible to work on any car stuff this year.

Here's the good, bad, and the ugly:
Good: Philly autoshow starts tomorrow, trees and roads cleared, and managed to get 2 hrs of road time this pm. Sweet!!
Bad: No road events in Region 1 PCA's until March (wtf??)
Ugly: Tucked the car back away again, and bracing for more winter havoc.

Indy here and I'll drive out of my snow covered neighborhood to the clean streets and interstate to cycle the oil.

Now, the bigger problem are the acre-sized potholes that will put you on a flatbed in a nano second.

Come on Spring!

Well at least Indiana is doing 12 hour stints around the clock to rectify the situation which is better than Chicago.

I agree TC, and do the same while the teenagers are off the road. It's not the car I don't trust, but the other reckless jerks on the road. I'll take it out for little errands to keep it cycled.
