Here in the islands we have 87* with mixed sun and showers.
Found a sunny section and took the Six out for a nice spin.

Merry Christmas all.

Cold and windy.. about 34F.
It's not even fun to work in the garage.
BTW... nice pic

Suppose to be Cold and clear till Thursday. I have to work Monday , the rest hopefully a couple of trips out.
 
...Taking the Mini(new)up to the dealer in ABQ Monday AM and then up to Santa Fe for the night, right into the teeth of a another snow storm...should be interesting!
 
Bring on the snow! I personally like the change of seasons. I don't think I could live in a place where the four seasons were baking, blazing, blistering and broiling. :eeek: The max temp that I can endure without A/C is about 82 deg F.

Right now the temp here on Long Island is in the high thirties. A little too cold for a drive in the TR3 with the top down, but get it up in the high forties to low fifties, and I'm good to go! :driving:
 
Cold here so drove my big Jaguar today....heater works great!

Great looking car Bryan!
I have a freind who was born and raised in ND. She told me you have 'leather'warnings on the news....that is, its so cold you cant wear lether because being a natural material it will freeze and crack. I was born and raised in Michigan and thought I knew how to handle cold.....but that is a new one on me....thats really cold!!!
 
We've only had a few flurries, nothing that sticks. I drove the MG to work Friday, Dad wants to tomorrow but it keeps predicting snow. I'd rather he takes mine instead.

It's been pretty nice here the last couple of weeks. I've been hiking a bunch of times.

Actually, I can't handle air conditioning very well at all. Most AC units dry the air out so much my sinuses are constantly screwed up. It's even worse if I have to go in and out a lot-constant drip, headaches...I can barely get through July and August with my sanity intact. I can't imagine it being like that year round.

I mean, I can bundle up if it's cold. I can't leave my sinuses at home.

William;
I head up your way during Christmas. I hope the snow is kind to us.....
 
Roll'd outta th' rack at 0530 to get th' bin onna curb, high 50's and drizzle rain. Predicted high of 76* and rain half th' day. Phooey.

...but it beats th' begeezis outta SNOW.

I'm right there with ya, I hate it. I hibernate from May-October pretty much. It hit 82 last week and with the humidity it was miserable - AC was on full blast. Friday it didn't get out of the 50s.

So far this fall I've been out in the Miata with the top down as low as 48. Absolutely comfortable, no problems whatsoever. When the sun is out down here I find the ideal top-down temp is around 60 but I attribute a lot of that to the sun.
 
Hate is such an ugly word......But I strongly dislike tall people, slim people, people with all their hair and especially people who post pictures like Tinster when is is cold with rain mixed with snow here. HEHEHE.
