Here Wisconsin is making like Portland - 50 and raining. All the snow is melting thank God. We were running out of places to put it! However, those with basement issues are probably freaking out as I can only imagine the rapid melt in addition to rain is causing problems.

That's interesting to hear about the Prius. When I was looking for a fuel efficient grocery getter I came across complaints that the Prius had computer glitch issues re: traction control. There were reports of people stranded because the Prius refused to move once on a slippery surface. My in-laws reported no such issues with theirs. Obviously, it doesn't happen to all Priuses. Gotta wonder how many are affected?
