Crud, I wimped out. The wind was howling all night, and we still had 30 MPH winds with 45 gusts in the morning, 6*F and it had been raining the previous night. The rear door was frozen and there was ice all over the deck. I didn't want to face very icy roads AND high, gusty winds at the same time.

However, when I got in my car I realized that there was NOT any ice on the roads. And that would have been a TAILWIND. Lose.
