Flying into Tampa. My GF's grandparents have a place on the gulf coast. Gonna spend a long weekend there. Well if you call 5 days a long weekend.
I love homemade salsa, what do you use in yours?
I use tomatoes, onions, vinegar, lemon juice, cilantro, jalapeno's, lime juice, sea salt, garlic. I think thats it.

Roads still suck. Took my sister two and a half hours to get across the cities. Usually takes 45 minutes with smooth traffic. 
Just not worth it to me. I'll stay home and get some hw done.

Situations like this, it really doesn't matter. You can only go as fast as the car ahead of you.

How dumb would it be to put lowering spring in for the summer then switch them out for stock springs for the winter?

How many inches of snow equals an inch of rain? I'm just curious. If someone gets 30 inches of snow, when it melts, what would that be in water? That could be a lot of water.

I honestly don't know. I guess it depends on the density of the snow. Snow at 30 degrees has a lot more water in it than snow at 20 degrees.

I have your weather forecast in my iPhone Nathan. I keep track of where I live and where you live.
I gotta say. Even though its raining here again today, your weather pretty much sucks. You won't get above like 25 degrees all week. So I take it you stay inside alot. Which has to be depressing too.

25 actually isn't that bad. It's amazing how good it feels after spending a couple weeks below zero. 
I haven't been outside since I went to church saturday night. And that was just walking to the car and back. I do have to spend time outside walking between classes, but that's it. Maybe if we had a snowmobile or something I'd be out more, but otherwise it pretty much sucks.

Typically it's 1 inch of rain will give you 10 inches of snow. That can vary too with the moisture content of the snow.

Yes, it varies widely depending on region, temps, altitude & seasonal variation:
The density of new snow ranges from about 5% when the air temperature is 14° F, to about 20% when the temperature is 32° F. After the snow falls its density increases due to gravitational settling, wind packing, melting and recrystallization.
Most snow that falls in the Cascade Mountains of Washington and Oregon tends to be higher density snow. In the Cascades, snowpack densities are around 20-30% in the winter to 30-50% in the spring. However, east of the Cascades, the snowpack density is much less. Typical values are 10-20% in the winter and 20-40% in the spring.

Here's a couple of glazes for pork roasts that are delicious. Use them to baste the roast while you're cooking but save some aside for topping your portion. Cook your roast as normal. Waaaay good!
(I live a half hour from the nearest town/store and can't afford some fancy items so you'll see some substitutions. For liqueurs, Italian syrups work great and they're cheap.)
Honey-Apple Glazed Pork Loin
Glaze:
1 ½ - 2 TBSP Beef base, dissolved with a little red wine in heated sauce pan. Then add
3 TBSP Honey
3 TBSP apple juice
2 TBSP red wine
½ TSP cinnamon
½ TSP dry mustard
Add more wine as needed for proper consistency
Orange Glazed Pork Loin
Basting Sauce:
1/4 cup orange marmalade (substituted Mango Chutney)
1/4 cup orange juice
1/8 cup spicy brown mustard (out so I substituted tbl of honey mustard with splash of red wine and dash of dry mustard and reduced)
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
Serving Sauce:
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier (or other orange liqueur) (too much $$ so I substituted Vermouth)
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves, chopped
CHERRY ALMOND GLAZED PORK
Glaze:
1/4 cup Cherry Italian syrup (could use blackberry, huckleberry, peach)
1/4 cup red wine
2 TBL honey (I was out so I used 1 TBL brown sugar mixed with 1 TBL water)
1/8 TSP each of salt, blk pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg (and ground cloves if you have it)
1/4 cup slivered almonds lightly toasted (chopped pecans or walnuts work great too)
While roast is cooking, combine all ingredients in a sauce pan except nuts. Heat to boiling stirring frequently for about 5 mins. Reduce heat to simmer and add nuts. (You are reducing liquid to make a sauce - not thick like a gravy, but not plain liquid either. If you simmer too long and the sause is too thick, just add a splash of wine.)

Yesterdays pork came out pretty good. Just used pre-packaged marinades. Almost time to toss the leftovers in the oven and warm them up!
