Right now its sunny and about 54deg. I'm stuck inside working but I did just get back from grabbing some lunch where I was able to cruise with the windows down. The car has been baking in the sun all day so I didn't even need to use the heat :D

Well none of the roads have been plowed yet, theyre all packed snow, mostly ice and rough as hell but I made it back in one piece despite bumping a car trying to park (back end slid over. bald rears) it wasnt too bad.

Ended up with a useless Chilton manual for the sprint, i'm gonna go back return it and find somewhere that has a haynes.. Fun Fun

We haven't had any major snow since Christmas, and the temp has been foolishly mild (about 10 celsius above normal for the month). I actually thought it would be a snowy winter because we had some big storms in December, but that's all long gone. We're supposed to pay for it Monday and Tuesday, though (of course they aid we were gonna have a blizzard on Thursday and we ended up with a quarter inch)

I'll second that, It was nice out today. Only in Ohio can you use your heater and air conditioner in the same f'n day.

Been doing that here in Georgia lately. It was so pleasant outside today that I rolled the 5.0 out in the driveway and started digging into it wearing a t-shirt, and I was hot!

LOL, 80 to 40 in a week. It does stuff like that here, too. Way too much. 35 F in the morning, I'm wearing a heavy sherpa coat. Three hours later I'm stripped to a T-shirt, walk out to my truck, open the door and visible heat pours out of it - i burn my hand on the seatbelt latch.

We haven't had snow here in Lincoln since before Christmas. It has been unusually warm here. Hit 65 a few times this week and is only a bit cooler today because of the rain. It was sort of weird visiting my parents in SW Minnesota over Christmas and leaving a foot of snow to find none whatsoever in Lincoln. I think we may be in for some snow again next week though.

I bought a season ski pass to Holiday Valley ski resort.... and it's 50 degrees outside? WTF. This shiznitty weather makes me wish it were spring so I can play with the cougar again.
PA winter is usually pretty bad, especially here in the mountains. But we have yet to have a big storm???

Hell on December 7th in Chicago we had 10" of snow. It was all melted just after Christmas. We've had snow since then but it was only about 2" and it melted away in a week. We've had 3 or 4 50*+ days here in January. I'm not convinced that winter is done for yet. We still have atleast 2 more months of py weather before it starts to get better. I remember taking the Tbird out on April 1st last year and having to put the heater on that night because it was 35* out.
