Pretty dumb if you ask me
Auto lights turn all the lights on as it automatically turns on dipped beam & tail lights, my previous 2 cars have had them.

DRLs. Of course.

I think there is a clue in their name. Perhaps using them in the dark isn't intended.

Snow.
Typical of Virginia, we've got off easy for the past couple of winters and now it's time to pay.
Forecasts say only about 1" Wednesday afternoon.
Then snow begining Thursday night and continuing until sometime during the day on Saturday with totals expected to be in the two to three foot range depending on which forecast you listen to.
Extended power outages likely.
More on the way next week.

Grey overcast, but warmer than yesterday.

Getting woken up by my wife coming into the bedroom after her night shift. Why the gripe. I was deep asleep and could have done with another couple of hours at least

Gripe depends on how you were woken up
