I walked out to my car yesterday morning and found about six 2x2 ice circles on my roof and trunk. I couldn't believe it. It freaked my out when I first walked out the door and saw them. I thought something happened to my car. Then on the local news lastnight they had viewers submit photo's of similar events. People were etching the date into the ice and their windshields. One guy had ice on the roof of his house. Any of you guys have similar experiences?
 
um, i had frost all over my car but not circles?

Heck yeah, there was ice on the entire top half of my car. It was 31 degrees this morning and this afternoon it's 76! Big change! The weather should be awesome for you guys and gals going to detailfest.
 
I live a little north of you and we did not have any kind of frost or ice yesterday. They were talking about frost on some inland places but I live on the water. I'm glad it's back feeling like Florida today.

Definitely! But boy did I feel strange with my long sleeve undershirts and big jacket after I walked out of class in the afternoon! This morning my temperature clock said something like 44 degrees, so I dressed accordingly (I hate being cold in the mornings).

It's both a blessing a curse. It's nice to have nice temperatures and great weather again, but then again, I hate it when its very cold in the morning, and not so much so in the afternoon! I hate carrying around jackets and/or overdressing heh.

Yeah, it was the oddest thing. They were perfect circles intermixed with each other. The rest of the car was covered in a light dew.
 
I found some, they were in the shape of crystals standing on end. It was the oddest thing (at least for me who never sees ice on a vehicle), I just detailed my car Sunday so I'm assuming it was crystallized due to the tight beading.

Too cold for this native:o
 
You guys are killing me! We hit 42 yesterday which ended our longest sub-32 degree streak in 23 years. That's 22 days of sub freezing temps. I just washed my truck wearing shorts and a t-shirt because it's so nice out today.
It's about 45 right now.:D :D

Yeh that's weird, last night it was actually nice about 55-60 here. House is across the beach so unless a strong front moves in like a couple days ago, no frost warnings.

But last week, holy sh!t was it cold here a couple mornings. :eek:
