For those in the winter areas, the recent warming is a welcome change.
Unfortunately, there is a down side - potholes.
As the ground under the pavement thaws, the subgrade and base wash out and potholes form as cars drive over the weakened road.
With many cars having aluminum wheels and low profile tires, hitting a pothole can run into many hundreds of dollars.
Don't assume that puddle up ahead is not a pothole. Be alert and slow down on side roads. On highways and other high speed roads, leave plenty of room and watch the car in front - if you see him hit a pothole you will have time to slow down or move over slightly to miss it.
