We're getting rain with snow flurries mixed in around the Charlotte area. Nothing like you've gotten, hand in there!

Come down to FL, when this little cold snap passes, I'll be out for a Sunday drive tomorrow (high temp 56 F). Top down, shades on, smiles from ear to ear.

Ya'll need to move up North. Not a sniff of snow (my daddy used to call it grits). Temps in the 50's this coming week.

Northwest NJ here, took my bomb out this morning for a 15 mile ride. For the first time EVER I put the "T" tops on. The heat actually works.

Shortly after I got home the salt spreader drove past.



Last drive for this year

Dang! I thought we had it bad. There was black ice on the Christmas tree lot at Lowes this morning! Good thing it warmed up to near 70!

And woke up this morning with no electricity. Came back on around 4 this afternoon.

So, yeah, some global warming would have been nice.

Looks worse there than it does here in Saskatchewan. We're having unseasonably mild temperatures which means its been near or a little above freezing for the past week or two. Nighttime lows of -40 aren't unusual at this time of year.

Thursday morning had all these outside plans, to include working on the 76. Then Friday morning weather report changed to snow, Ugh. Saturday, ended up setting up Christmas Tree and decorations. Today I will get the vette up on jack stands, but I have to work on my truck.

It's times like these that continually confirm my move to Arizona will happen.

We got a dusting of snow yesterday afternoon. Not much, but enough to say it did it.
