Owning a Car in Lynchburg
Summers here bring about 20 days at 90°F or hotter. That is enough to finish off a tired battery or a weak AC compressor, so get both checked in spring rather than on the first hot day.
Lows drop to freezing on about 119 nights a year. Cold is when a weak battery finally fails, because a cold engine takes more power to turn over. Lynchburg averages 12 inches of snow, and road salt eats brake lines, exhaust and the underside of the car. Rinse the underbody through the winter and have the brake lines looked at whenever the car is up on a lift.
About 44 inches of rain fall in a year. Worn tires lose grip on wet roads well before they look bald, and streaky wipers are a cheap fix worth doing before the wet season, not during it.
The average commute in Lynchburg is 17 minutes each way, and 68% of workers drive there alone.
