    Elated A White Christmas after all!!!

    Looking at the weekend outlook on weather.com for St. Johns, and they're calling for some snow showers (30%) for Saturday.
    Bad news for me because I'm coming from DE on a 6x12 ft landscaping trailer. Then when, or if, I get there, I was an idiot and took the Windshield wipers out
    Any ideas of how I can run without windshield wipers?

    30% chance in this area doesn't mean much. When that percentage gets to about 70%, that is more promising of a snow fall. This typical pattern usually will indicate by thursday eveningthe chance of snow somewhere about 0-10% (in otherwords, there will not be any). Sorry to ruin that thought of a snow shower. We have a better chance of seeing a blizzard in April.

    You don't need windshield wipers, just a good coating of Rain-X or a similar product. Oh yeah, and a defroster, LOL!

    If you have no wipers then the best bet is a screen and yank out the window. Rain-x doesnt work. Those of us who tried it know that. It helps with wipers, but alone it doesnt work out too well.

    Or, you have a few days to put them back in, just not a fun job. Screen is okay, but makes for a COLD ride.

    All you need is a spot on the windshield to look out of. It's not like you're running in the dark. Rain-x does work.

    Thanks for all the tips, but it is still only a 30% chance, so most likely, hopefully, it won't. But I think I might pick up a bottle of rain-x just in case mother nature desides to visit the "Duro's down in Duro-ville" this weekend. And so far there is alot of Duros. Car count all ready in the 90's. Billy, is there a limit on cars in a race or do you seperate them up if you get so many reg.??????

    Good news....Bad news???

    Good news for me, since I have no windshield wipers, the snow chance is pretty much out of the picture. Down to only 10% chance of snow showers. Which on the other hand is bad news, Mobigsly, because I know how bad he was looking forward to using his Snow-x . So hopefully we don't "need no stinking wipers". And have a nice full field come Sat. What do say????
