uhhh, snow

The weekend's winter storm has been a bit nasty. Today it's sunshiny out, but -30 degrees; which means my car was a bit sluggish when I started it.

After warming it up for half an hour and crossing my fingers that I could make it out of the snowdrift, I noticed an odd little light on the dash. Because we're in Canada and supposedly bi-lingual there can't be words on any of the icons that they use (well, there could but they'd have to be in both English and French), so where Low Tire Pressure would have been immediately recognized the funky (!) with a wavy line under it was not so much help.

Would have been super helpful if my car could tell me which tire it was, so I didn't have to check all 4. Even that wasn't so bad but my glasses kept fogging up and I couldn't read the pressure gauge :)

Let's not even get into the many gas stations I stopped at trying to find one that a) had a hose, b) had a hose that worked and c) didn't charge me for the privilege of doing it.

I found it at Superstore. I will never say a bad thing again about them.

(Four and a half more sleeps until the beach! )
