Welcome home Yelotus! Moved into a new house, and went from all-outdoor parking to having a large garage. Now that I can fettle without regard to daylight or weather, work toward getting 'er back on the road should start going much faster.

Heat in a garage? No driving until spring? Strange concepts for those of us down here.

Yeah, that thing with all the silvery branches coming out the top is the furnace!
But all kidding aside, none of that ducting serves the garage, and as yet hasn't needed to either. The garage is underneath the house, and is underground except for where the doors are at one end, where I have two single-car doors separated by a human-door. It's been chilly outside since I moved in, but the garage remains comfy as long as I keep the doors closed.
That said, I don't know how cozy it'll stay once things get truly cold outside (such as 'cold' is in Georgia), but I suspect it won't be bad. I'd still like to insulate the garage doors though, and my employer recently received a crate of large sheet metal parts, which were padded with a lot of big flat pieces of 1-1/4" styrofoam- which is about to become that garage-door insulation I mentioned!

Veg - It looks like you and Yelotus will be okay there, especially with the doors getting insulated. 
Mazzini - thanks, I'm getting plenty of exercise shoveling snow. I hope you are well also.
Drinkman - I'm attaching a picture that shows snow on my recycling bin. And this is the first snowfall of the winter.

NICE!
You'd find the snow down here hilarious. It doesn't fall every year, and when it does it's not much and it will be gone from roads within three days, and no remaining traces anywhere within a week. Despite this lack of severity, everybody freaks out and civilisation comes to a halt. People rush into the grocers and buy all the milk and bread they can afford, and the TV weathermen get almost as keyed-up as they do for tornadoes.
I was born in Detroit and spent my first three years in Ann Arbor before we moved south, and my parents were from NE Ohio, so I grew up with their calmer attitude about snow. Instead of milk and bread, I rush in for beer and snacks!
I wonder if we'll get any snow this year? My new place is on a small hillside, so with enough beers in me and a bit of cardboard, my yard could be some sledding fun!
