No grass problem here, it's all white with more coming tomorrow.

But I'll get to do wheelies with the snowblower again. Cripes, it's only Jan 10th and I'm already tired of this crap. Salt was made to put on food, not driveways

We Texans see it this way.....we don't put asphalt on our french fries, and we don't put salt on our roads.

I'd like to brag we're warm here in Sunny SoCal- but it's darn cold at 6am (44 feels like 39). I actually had to dig out a jacket!

Default Hell freezes over...

Last week we had weather in the mid 60's in Georgia. Last night someone slipped a winter storm in on us! WTH!!! Mostly ice out there. Which one of you northern folks sent this my way? Just wait, I will pay you back with some high heat and humidity later this year. and No! you can't have the heat today. LOL! Spring can't get here fast enough!!!!

University of Alabama football fans claim that this southern Ice Storm is simply "Hell Freezing over" because Auburn University is playing for the National Championship tonight! Well then, this weather is most Welcome! Let Hell Feeze over then! Go Auburn, WAR EAGLE kill the Oregon Ducks!!!!!

January Thaw ?

Is that when the acumulated snow height reaches 3 feet instead of the 6 feet that you had in December ?

I hated the winters when I lived in NE Ohio and I still hate them down here. I should have stayed in FL back in '72.

I plan on pulling this top off around mid-Feb, but the way the weather is going this year, I am not too sure. We will see when we will see.

Why wait till spring?, These cars have heaters you know. I took mine out yesterday, it was 17 out. Wind chill below 0. As long as the roads are clear and clean, I say why not.
