Sometimes winter can be stubborn and just hangs on for a while. All that snow won't last long.

I think it was 75 yesterday in Seattle, so... It made over 80 on my corner of the state.

It's been pretty cold here in Mobile, AL this past week too. With highs in the low 70's, I've not had to use the AC all week.

I've learned in my first Vette season to wait till after Christmas to park it. The trend in Cleveland these days is no snow until after new years. SMH. Now this week is going to be cold and nasty. I really don't know why I stay here. LOL. Cheers

As a distance runner, had to run last week at 90 degrees.
Guess we all complain about the weather and want what we don't have.

We dodged every snow storm all winter, and it wasn't very cold. Then we get 5" snow and 5 degrees yesterday morning and 15 this morning. Can't get the z06 ready and the roads are salted now. Damnit! But, the guys in Florida never brag in July when it's beautiful up North and you could fry an egg on their head...lol

I was going to say something about our weather but after reading this I will forgo it. It gets hot here in AZ too but I can get out of it if I want to. Tell your son Thanks for his service. That goes for all you guys & gals on here...
