Have been riding topless every chance I get. Mid 60's in January is something I can get very used to. Only nagging I get from my lovely bride is "Will you fill it up so I can enjoy it for a few days too?"
I know the snow is coming and I'll put the car away when it finally come, but if it's not until December....I can live with that!

Winter is parked over Colorado. Three significant storms over the last three weeks and three feet of snow still on the ground. At this rate, the pony won't be getting any exercise for a while. Won't need any helicopter hay drops though, pony's in the stable.

I just moved to Colorado in November. Everyone told me that winters in Denver were actually quite nice. "The snow doesn't stay around long enough to get dirty" I was told. 
This has been miserable! We got 33" at one time the week before Christmas in Aurora, then two snowfalls of at least 8" each since, plus the wind that redeposits the snow back into your driveway after you've shovelled it out! Consider yourselves lucky. Maybe next winter will be yours.
Hey, Jack (cauzitsfun)!
You're the third neighbor I've noticed on this site! Got one in northern Aurora (Grabberogre), and one in Lafayette, too (Fordcrazy).

Well up here in Maine it has been warm and we have only had maybe 3 inches of snow all winter....Southern maine, North has maybe a foot. So there is nothing like looking at my Mustang sitting in the garage getting no use, and then going outside and looking at my 4 place snow mobile trailer full of sleds getting no use. Now if Im really lucky it will rain all **** summer!

Just allows me some more cruising time on the weekends! Gotta love the weather and just think I was going to head to Florida for a few weeks in January to enjoy the warmth, but not now....!

Here in good ol' NJ we have had some unusually warm weather as well it got up to 70 somthing this past Saturday though it's back into the 40's today. Still not one sign of snow, it better not be holding out for one of those crazy March's that happen every now and then.

I live right outside Buffalo. That freak October storm had to be the oddest weather we have ever had. I put the Mustang away right after that (well... as soon as the trees and power lines were out of the road!). Been great since though, actually had my motorcycles out a bunch of times.
The lake not being frozen worries me though, still a chance to get a huge lake effect storm - Im old enough to remember the Blizzard of '77.

I'm in the same boat as many other northeasterners
I parked my car in december expecting it to be a typical winter (a few days later it did snow and the roads were salted). Since then, the roads have been pretty much clean, and the weather has been pretty good.
I was tempted to pull out the car the week I was on vacation over the Christmas break. The day I was going to call the insurance company, they hanged the weather report from being sunny to predicting snow (which never happened).
If this keeps up, I will pull my car back on the road by March, if not sooner.... Just watch what happens to the weather forecast then.

Well what stopped me was even though we have had only maybe 3 inches they have salted and sanded the roads as if we have had 3 feet. There is so much stuff down on the roads Im not risking it. I already have a few tiny chips from driving her last summer as it is. Summer will be here soon enough the way it is going...like in a week or two
