Wow!! Dreadful weather appears across most of the states.
Some place named Fargo was due to get -50*F. In the forties
in northern Florida, ice storm in Atlanta.

We are a bit on the brisk side at 78*F but I managed to get
the Six to start and took a 2 hour test drive to check out
the new cotter pin I installed this morning in the driver's rear wheel castle nut.

Oh and really awesome!!! I found this great new place to
watch the really big waves rolling into shore.

best regards - what's the weather in YOUR neck of BCF-land?
Photos greatly appreciated.

Well, we had some rain over the last couple of days. As I sit here typing, with my first cuppa I had to put some bootie slipppers on that my mudder knitted, her usual Christmas presents.

I too, like Doc, have let my blood thin out and anything under 75 is ARCTIC,,,,

But, I shall wander over to the coffeepot and get a refill, hop in the shower and then put on my shorts and short sleeve shirt for the days Christmas shopping, escorting my fiance.
 
Currently 32Âş and slightly windy so it feels like 23Âş. It's really Sunny that it's taking a little of the edge off of us. Strange we both live on Islands and mine is so much colder.
 
8 inches of snow. mid teens for the last few days. Absolutly beautiful scenery. Pics soon. Today, up in the 30s. that means excellent packing snow!
Plow is back on the Jeep, and functional. New Snow tires are on the Bimmer with 3 TR2-4 cylinder heads in the trunk for weight.(I'll be getting some sandbags soon)
I'm ready! bring it on!
 
It was 45Âş today when I took Fagin out in the sunshine for a short drive to America On Wheels to give a tour, and then a non-direct route home. It is supposed to hit 55Âş tomorrow, but that will be the last drive of the year so that some needed work can be started to prepare for next spring...
 
Today it hit 65 in Chester County PA. It will be wet this week, but the temps will be in the 50's. Crazy - can't get into the proper spirit. It's been this way (around Christmas time) for a few years. We love a cold white Christmas - its the only way IMHO.
 
Frank- No worries. This frigid weather we are having will hit you soon enough'
 
tinster, hooked the rig up yesterday afternoon, gettin burrr cold here in ct, and no them aint trolling rigs on the ends of the plow, there sayin 5 to 10 inches of the white stuff soon.

Don: true, but so way only rain. next front due on Sunday and Christmas Eve.

p.s. is it true you folks in the NW are born with webbed feet? :devilgrin:
 
Anthony- that's one nasty looking rig.
What if you start pushing a frozen guy,
like maybe Jimmy Hoffa? Would he round
and round?? or get spit out the side??

Better call NCIS if that happens.
