Feel bad for you guys up north... It is a beautiful 74 degrees and sunny here in central Florida and just finished cleaning up for a nice evening ride.

Other than it being cold, this winter has been pretty mild in terms of any bad weather. I think we've had about 2-3" of snow all winter. But I am looking forward to warmer weather.

I live in Houston....whats winter? I was out on our boat teaching my 3 year old how to steer just yesterday with a nice 78 degree breeze. My 7 month old fell asleep in his car seat with the warm air hitting him.

Well, in fairness, in the South we do have the plague known as 'love bugs' twice a year on average. Still beats shoveling snow and dressing in layers.

Default No more Weather Service = no more weather

There is no more weather. Trump fired the weather service.
Oh wait that's an alternative fact.

Got all-season tires installed the day I bought the car. As for salty roads, we get a 50-60 degree day occasionally and the car gets a wash. Too much fun driving it to stick it in a garage for 4 months. That's a 1/3 of a year. I'm aged 71 and I'm not wasting any of whatever time I have left on old man winter.

I was excited about all the rain we are getting today as it would wash the salt off the roads, until I heard it will turn to freezing rain and snow tonight, prompting, well, more salting.
