Hey! The only times I have ever heard the Black Ice Warning Ding happened as I motored through Arizona in April this year! I heard it between Kingman and Flagstaff, and again several times before I got to New Mexico! I was thrilled to finally hear it, too!

SoCal sissies. I'm still wearing shorts to work.

We were shocked by the first rain of the season last week, though.

Ha ! Glad I read this thread. I was wondering what the hell was going on with "Bergey". He never made that noise before. Sounded like he had a little gas (pun intended).

Yep, 34 degrees here in central MD this morning. Brrrrrrrrrrr... those heated seats felt really good though !

I won't be able to enjoy or utilize all the features of my car (like this ding) as you people are. I live in Hawaii and will probably never use that feature.

AAAAhhhh.... NO.. I moved here from the Pocono Mtns in Penn. I know what it is like to shovel my car out of the snow and drive in it. My favorite phrase now is " I never have to shovel my car out of the sunshine! "



Ok but I do admit spinning donuts in the local mall parking lot was a blast.. but was much more fun in my 73 Duster with RWD.... FWD you have to do it backwards...

Sorry about your first ding. Although unfortunately, it's most certainly not to be your Mini's last.

Gonzo, I think the only place in Hawaii where it might be cold enough would in on top of Mauna Loa in January.
