Our annual trip to SW Colorado was snowless this past Christmas, but my son got married just north of Columbus, Ohio, mid January. We drove up there, leaving about 12 hours earlier than planned because a big winter storm was coming in. We beat it there then had lots of Winter Storm Hunter. I got to play around in a big parking lot practicing slides, spins, and drifting, with recoveries. I love my AWD GMC Savana Van. I put a bed frame in the back and we spent the first night there in the Hollywood Casino parking garage. That's camping out... that and Rest Areas... for us these days. We left town as the edge of Winter Storm Inga arrived there. We saw bad accidents and traffic backed up on the other side, but we outran the storm in a few hours and had a nice drive back. It has been cooler lately, but we've seen temps approaching 90 a few times. Yesterday I had some shopping to do and took that opportunity to go over to the top of the dune at the beach. It was a beautiful day with temperature at 71 and about a 10-mph wind from the West. :-) Sunny and 61° now. Jacksonville Beach yesterday:
