It needed to be washed as it had been sitting in the garage for the last 3 weeks 2 cause I was back home in Washington for the holidays and last week due to that insane amount of rain we got. I don't trust Cali drivers in the rain.

Missed the opportunity to wash mine this past weekend.
Was in the 50's and now with wind chill it is in the teens.
I use a leaf blower that was real inexpensive.
Best thing to get rid of the water.

Same thing I thought. It's so cold here, if I tossed a cup of water in the air, it would freeze before hitting the ground.

Just stand back a bit. I have used a compressor and air nozzle for years with no issues.

Shaconage (pronounced Sha-Kon-O-Hey) is the Cherokee Indian word for "Land of Blue Smoke." Also known as the Smokey Mountains. I live on the TN side of those mountains.

I"ll let you know how mine turns out when I wash it in about 100 days once my hose thaws. Cant remember last time I washed it because that was almost 100 days ago. FML. I waxed my sled yesterday though if that means anything.
