On the first day time went back to standard time, we woke up to a wet frozen snow that stuck to windshields, doors and the rest of the car. Started it up until the defrosters started working and that layer could be slid off. That was enough "winter" before official winter arrived, but this morning we saw two more inches of snow, but this time it was fluffy and swept off relatively easily.
Streets and highways were another thing in the early morning however. County and State had spread some sand and salt but that left a few inches of slush. Every time we met a vehicle, we had to run the windshield washer to see ahead. Then on the road were idiots driving with lights off and only a little hole of snow off the windshield. None of the snow brushed off. They were like camouflaged snow drifts blending into all the other whiteness. Anyway, by this afternoon the county had the slush of the highway north of Winner. So traffic was back to "normal". I was driving right at speed limit or a bit more or less when I was passed like I was standing still. Anyway, below is a photo of snow on cars this morning.
This snow brushed more or less right off with no difficulty. The frozen stuff the day before was a whole 'nother can of worms however.
