Today's weather report...

[mrv8q]

39º this morning, but sunny. TR3 didn't want to start, but always does, eventually. Once warmed up, it loves the cold weather, must be the dense air:

 

[NickMorgan]

You lucky man. Wet, salty roads here!

 

[Brooklands]

I love driving in the cold, sans top and curtains, but no more this winter. Roads are covered with salt after the ice storm yesterday, and more snow and freezing rain on the way. Fagin is safely in the shop until spring getting some more "adjustments" to make next year's driving even better.

 

[Brosky]

15" of snow here and no relief until mid week with warmer temps. Into the 30's, I hope!

I just hooked up my new CTEK charger for my Optima battery. It's 16 degrees outside and tomorrow will be colder with more wind. Wind chills to be near zero all day.

Sail-

I forget - old age setting in I'm afraid.

Is Iowa a souther provence of Canada or was it
ceded to America during some past war or something?
I've worked in 46 states but never came across Iowa.
Is it near Nebraska? I was in Nebraska twice.

Does Iowa have things like cities? indoor pumbing? Phones?
Asphalt streets, schools with more than one classroom? etc.

AH Ha!! Now I remenber- Your grow corn!!
Gazillions of ton of corn. And yer womenfolk have creamy
white skin and tons of freckles.

Merry Christmas Sail!! Be safe, keep warm.

Just great! I just saw the weather and we're getting 4-6 inches more AND rain in between, so it will be impossible to shovel.

But it will be in the 50's by the end of the week.

 

[BobbyD]

I got 8" of sun on my back deck. Paul....you got it way worse then we did. Tomorrow should be even more fun with snow, ice and rain. In my 61 years of living in snow country I had a first last night while snow blowing the driveway......Thunder and a bolt of lightning that made me jump..........and it was still snowing like crazy.

 

[Brosky]

I wish that is all I had. I just shoveled mine early this afternoon and will have to try to clear it again before the rain packs it down. I have another 1-2 inches from this morning out there over the past six hours.

New Hampshire. 10 inches overnight last night, 8-12 more tomorrow during the day, followed by teens and 40-50 mph wind. And we don't leave for Florida til end of january, but at least we have power, some still without with no date for power back.

Hey - great picks guys.

Kevin - good to see you working the TR3!

I've actually noticed that the cars feel stronger when is it cool (notice I didn't say <span style="font-weight: bold">cold</span> guys....) as well.

You need to crank up that hot tub ASAP.

Yup. Rough rule of thumb is 1% more power for each 10 degree F drop in intake air temp.

 

[DNK]

This is all I have to say about this thread. And 4" on the ground this morning and a bunch dropping right now

 

[Brosky]

Someone get Al Gore on the line.......

Oops, never mind, it's snowing down south too.

Now there looks to be a happy camper. If you don't move it ought to be over your knees.

Don.....6 degrees in Seattle is pretty rare, isn't it? But 52 degrees IN the house is COLD! Time to toss another log on the fire.

 

[TRMark]

-8F this morning. High today of 6 and low tonight of -20F., thankfully no wind. Need to hear from the folks in Wisconsin, their weather always makes me feel better about living on the plains.
