Well, we got only a couple of hours of snow showers here. None of it stuck.

I shouldn't have even been excited because I knew if we got anything it would be coming after several hours of MORE EFFING RAIN, but I love the first snow of the year and the last few years, the first snow is often the only snow here. I hope that's not the case this year. *pouts*
Marile, I'm happy the snow didn't ruin your party! And, oh, how I covet that sun and 70 degree days. *plots move to Phoenix for the winter*
Anyway, I've been a remiss failbot but I wanted to thank all of y'all who gave me car advice! Believe me, it was very useful and appreciated. I'm going to wait until January to buy a car and I've gotten it narrowed down to about half a dozen models. Unless I don't like how it test drives, I think the winning car will be the 2009 four-door Toyota Yaris but we'll see. Whatever I end up getting, I'm looking forward to having a car that's not falling apart around me.
