Typical weather for my winter...





Not too bad. Certainly not enough to make me stop driving my Mustang.

Darn it, I'm most likely going to have to use the heater in my Mustang this weekend in Central Florida; they said it's going to be in the 40's Thanksgiving day, and warm up to the 60's by afternoon.

Brrrr. Going to need a fire in the fireplace, plus the heavy jackets whil walking around the Turkey Rod Run this weekend.

But I don't want my mustang getting anywhere close to the TONS of salt they dump on the roads and parking lots around here
I'm with you 5.MONSTER!

We need a bad winter to kill all the frigging ticks and fleas I dealt with over the summer.

People stop driving cars in the winter? What's the difference between winter and summer? Oh right! I live in Houston.

Winter to me just means denser air!

One of the main reasons my wife and I moved from Pennsylvania to Southern California. The snow is cool when you're a kid, but when you're an adult it sucks. 73 degrees and sunny right now in San Diego. Going down to a frigid low of 51 tonight. Weather basically stays the same every single day throughout winter.

Yeah, that is killer man. I am definitely not going to be living here after retirement. I would like to go beforehand.
Yeah, snow is nothing but a nuisance and a pain in the *****. Shoveling, snow blowing, cleaning off the truck, driving slow, worrying about others sliding into you,.........I'm done with it. LOL

Yes, I know what you mean - there's a NorEaster howling outside right now. I guess it could be worse though - no earthquakes, tornadoes, for the most part Hurricanes, or wildfires. I put my Mustang into hibernation last weekend and the next day PennDot dumped salt all over the roads - My Mustang will never taste salt. After the temps got below 40 I noticed I had to be careful with the Perellis because they were breaking loose a lot easier.

Look East to those little hills between you and the desert, I have seen snow on them more than once. Had to put chains on to get across Ortega hwy when I lived in Elsinore and have seen Interstate 8 closed.

I left to go back to California right after High School, had enough of the white stuff for a while. We did get a dusting this morning here in East Tennessee

Fired up the snow blower for measures and let it run for 10-15 minutes. Hopefully I wont need to use it this year.

Maybe I am always gonna be a kid.
(Even if I have been driving since the Nixon administration.)
I don't mind winter. I just plan for it.
Big snowblower, nice truck and a warm house.
