It's -2 DegF here, windchill -28 DegF --- so it's positively balmy where you're at ...

... but when it gets below freezing, WHO CARES?

PS --- I can't wait til Spring either.

Same type of cold weather here in Wisconsin as well. Spring is getting closer with each day.

Yes, we are envious of those in warmer climates, at least at this time of the year.

3.7 degrees here.
Damn cold in the garage, too, even though it's insulated, but not heated. Just had to go out there and crawl under the C6 to get a ground clearance measurement for another thread here on the forum.

I don't know what you're whining about down there in Illinois. At least you've got a football game to watch this weekend.

I just posted pictures in another thread. It's not certainly not warn down here. The temperature is in the 40's, but it's warmer than 8 degrees.

I just put the heater on and changed the air filters. I might wiggle under there to change the oil. My 05' Vert sat for 1 month and she started right up. I've had one case of DBS and it might be DOH!-related after all.

I hate this winter crap also. I am in Denver, CO and we have had snow just about every weekend since Christmas. There is snow all over the place and the roads are completely F@#$ from all the snow with lots of damaging potholes.

We've been lucky here in the Philly area. The salt just hit the roads about a week or so ago. Not bad considering it's February. We've had minimal snowfall and the Phil predicted an early Spring for us!

What a bunch of whoosses.
When I was a young guy we used to walk to school in minus 20 degrees, 30 mph winds, and five foot snow drifts, just to get to school. And that was uphill both ways.
