I believe rubbing it in is grounds for banning. It's about 20 degrees here today.

The sun is coming out where I am in Washington.

I'm tired of record breaking snow followed by record breaking rain.

Now wait, it was in the low forties this morning which is too cold to put the top down in central FL and yes it did get to 70
today, after work this evening it was falling again to the forties.

Winters in FL are perfect, a few nice days separated by a few cold days and repeat. Lots of beautiful blue skies.

Now we pay for this come May and June then on into late summer with the temp and the humidity values almost identical.
90F/90% makes it feel like your dying. Plus the occasional hurricanes.
