I plan on replacing the screen... got that one used on the cheap, needed it on short notice and short money, but it's a poor fit.
As far as the weather... that sucked bigtime, it was somewhere in the mountains east of Tucson in the middle of February. My local weather (and roads) are a lot more like FL.
