There was one guy there from FL who had never seen snow in his life. He 
thought we were all going to die. Early Sunday morning I went out to see 
if my car that had never been out of Florida would start. It must have 
had some water vapor in the gas line that froze and it wouldn't. No big 
deal just stay an extra day it would probably be 70 on Mondayv if we had 
to. We pushed it where it would get sun all day on the hood. It was cold 
but the sun was out. It was a red car so it should heat up nicely under 
the hood.  We came out at 2:30, fired it up headed south and within 
about 50 miles not a hint of snow.
