That's cold for Baltimore, but we'll be seeing 20 below this week.

No pic but I saw -15 in the CTS this morning. Quite a swing from low 70's in AZ last week for Barrett-Jackson. I should have been gone this week instead...

I drove my 07 Z06 on OEM GY F1's not only in fridged temps but with a couple inches of snow.


It was a distressing drive to say the least.

Whenever I think it's too cold around here I check Minot ND. In the summer I check Death Valley. Always makes me feel better. The low in Minot today is 0 and the high all day until late afternoon will be 1 when it finally 'warms' up to a high of 8! I feel better already!

Our last base before retirement was Minot AFB...I have seen -42 without wind chill...the wind was blowing 35 from the north at the time...now y'all know why we chose to move to sunny west Texas.

It has been cold here for the last month now, meaning around 30* in the morning. Frost most every morning too.

This is cold enough for me thank you. Especially considering that I usually play golf first off in the mornings.

Last week our low temps were around -10 here in so cal at 7000 feet and highs around 25. We are in a heat wave now in so cal with temps in the 80's but up here in the mountains our highs are hitting low 50's right now.

I drove our C5 at -10'F, it started and ran ok but the summer Firestone runflats had turned to, uh, stone. Even on bare/dry pavement, it was like driving on ice.

Our previous C6 I drove at -6'F, that one had A/S tires and was much better, though the traction was still reduced. Same car, saw +108'F in North Dakota on the Supercar tires. A/C had to run full blast but no overheating problems. These are great cars.
