-3 this morning, roads salty as hell and freezing rain for this weekend! :sad:

Good thing my vette is on the operating table waiting for the t-5 transplant to be finished and I am awaiting the adoption papers for my Formula.

Glad you guys are back to normal temps. We should be at upper 60s and we are in the low 80s.

Sucks since mornings are in the low 40s.

T-Tops on in the morning, tops off at night - repeat as necessary.

You dogs!! It looks like you guys can wear shorts all "winter" long. I shouldn't complain, I could live furhter north. Here it's cloudy and in the low 50s. I'm just waiting for this weekend. It's sposed to be clear and in the mid- to upper-60s. The t-tops will be off and the wife and I will be cruising!!

You all know I don't mind the cold.
Ryan is partially right. He says the 30s feel warm compared to the single digits of lately.
Actually, it was 0-F outside my house today, and with the highs pushing to 30+,
I am thinking about opening the pool and driving the vette. This morning, it
was 21 degrees F, and I drove the entire 30 miles to work with my moonroof opened.
Gotta LOVE that crisp New England winter air.
Reminds me - gotta get some skiing in before it all melts. :(

Enjoy the warm weather - and keep it for now. We don't need it yet.

I personally couldn't imagine living again in a cold climate... 25 years in the cold were enough...
