    I have a load of gallon jugs of screen wash for delivery in Phoenix on Monday.

    Thing is, they're - 45 rated ! Maybe the weather men know something we don't ?

    Beyond the fact that not everyone stays in South AZ all the time and the folks up in Flagstaff and points North or NorthEast of there should have already changed over to that?

    Also PHX is a major regional distribution hub.... Truck load in -- mixed goods out of the DC to stores outbound. They were actually trying to get me to do a dedicated PHX to PNW for one of the auto parts places. I laughed and hung up on the agent when he told me the rate........

    So irony not really a long suit of yours eh Blu?

    Never mind, I was trying to match the light hearted vibe of the thread but certainly the pedant is strong in you.

    I live just north of Caribou ME, and I only generally bother with -30 fluid up there, so yes it does seem amusing to take the real firewater so far south but your interesting details of regional distribution hubs is quite fascinating, thanks, who'd have thought it eh?

    Thanks @dunchues, Part of me took note of the ironic Humor in your post. But that part got overran by the part of me that goes off when some folks play regional stereo types to the extreme.

    The freight data is just the sequestered school teacher side of me peeking out from behind the curtain.

    On occasion the choir of personalities running around in my noggin, squawk out a fowl note...

    Been snowing for a few days here. Got some runs off on the slopes before I go careening down the highway tonight.
    My first seniors discount was purchasing my lift ticket for the 2019 season

    We have bunk heater, and lots of food, we really don't see what the big deal is.

    Looks only a little worse than White Pass. (Yes, that particular pass made me particularly unhappy when I crossed it.)
