  • Warm Weather Coming?

    How are other amateur detailers in New England handling the weather?

    Today I was cleaning up a neighbor's car. Started at 40 degees and overcast. Then changed to snow. Ten minutes later cleared and very sunny. Took a break for lunch and came out to a drizzle. That changed to snow - again! Then cleared off for fifteen minutes and now overcast and 45 degrees. My hands took a beating. Fortunately most of the work was on the inside of the car. When I was washing the exterior it was raining so that didn't interfere.

    Looking forward to a day with the temperature in the sixties!

      Unfortunately it is not much better here in the midwest. Most everyone I know has been sick, with the weather going from 60's one day and the 30's and 40's the next 2 to 4 days.

                  I think I remember weather like this in Connecticut but it seems so long ago. Raining today with temperatures up to 50 degrees! WOW.

                      We have seen ranges between 75 and 25 over the last couple of days in Nashville. Oh, and a couple F3 tornadoes ripped through the area leaving a big mess behind. Today its in the 50's, but really cold due to the 20mph wind. I'm impatiently waiting for a string of days where it is 70-80 without rain....cars need cleaning, deck & driveway needs sealing.

                        Everytime I have a day off...which is few and far between, it's either cold, raining, or cold and raining! Today the weather channel said that my area will have AM showers with clearing around noontime. It's now a little after 4 PM and the rain just stopped an hour ago and is now very windy, still cloudy and in the low 50's.

                        Maybe in three weeks when I'm off again maybe the wifey's car can finally be finished......ohhh wait, it'll rain!

                            Sure enough, about 10 minutes after I posted this the sun came out for the rest of the day. Got to spend some time working on my dad's single stage paint Nissan pickup with my G100 and D151. Let me tell you, that is a great combo! Photos coming later on.

                              Something funny yesterday... started the day at 8AM doing some oil changes on my lawn equipment for the first mowing of the season 35, cloudy, and chilly

                              Finished all my lawn work around noon with partly cloudy and about 60

                              Went to Lowes to get a couple supplies and had the windows down and sun roof open. Got home and washed the wife's ride with no shirt, no shoes, and swim trunks. Full sun and above 70.

                              Got done about 5 and went inside and had a nasty sunburn. Took a cool shower and called it a night.

                              Cold front came in last night, raining this morning (luckily wife's ride in garage), cold and cloudy. Forcasting low 50's for the high.
