Betsy's Winter Weather Advisories

Random advice to help you make it through this winter:

  • Stuck without an ice scraper? A CD case works wonders! And this way, you probably have more than 1 and can make your lazy passengers help...
  • Don't have a garage? Instead of parking as close to your building as you can, burn a few extra calories and park a little farther away and leave your car in the sun. It will cut down on ice scraping time and you won't be as late to work.
  • Use all those leg warmers you bought last winter that are no longer in style to actually keep warm under your slacks this winter.
  • I know it doesn't seem like it, but scarfs make a hellova difference.
  • As dorky as it might seem to own thermals... I mean who really knows you have them on anyway?
  • Halls vitamin C drops are really tasty and definitely help with preventing colds.
  • Stuck in a really long line at Walmart because of the holiday season? Sneak over to the Christmas section at the far right or left of the store... they have their own register and maybe 1 person in line. Buy some wrapping paper and jump in line. Unless... you'd rather save the buck 50 and wait in line for 25 minutes.

And now since I saved you all that time at Walmart, and time is money, make sure you use some of that money to help some people in need this Christmas :)

you assume that parking in the sun is an automatic option in the winter? it may not be, in which case you are screwed b/c the longer it takes you to walk to your car, the longer it will take you to get to your destination, not accounting for the potential for additional ice build-up within that time frame for which scraping will take even longer. in summary, park as close to your house as possible if for some reason you did not purchase property with a garage yet scraping your car is a major concern.
