That is not cruising weather. Agree. Needs to be at least zero out for the top down.

As long as the roads here are white, it wouldn't matter of it hit 80 out (which it won't anyway.) FYI, the "white" I refer to is salt. The roads are salt coated, the vehicles salt coated, the garage floors are salt coated, and even some vegetation is salt coated if it is near a busy highway.

Little cooler today but yesterday was +10C. Cannot complain about that!
I was watching SNL on Sat and could not believe all the info at the bottom of the screen indicating which churches were open/closed on Sunday. Geez ... what's up that?
Couldn't sleep (too hot outside) ... so I watched the local news in Boston. Wife drifts out of bed and looks at the tube ... backyard pictures with lots of snow ... Wife: "so who sends in snow pics and better yet, what idiot would post that here". Me: " No dear, that's not local." Wife: " Then who and where?" Me: "Boston !!!" Wife: "GO BACK TO SLEEEP. If you see my husband in another one them dreams of yours send em back in the bedroom."
Weather girl says they have received 7 feet of snow in 3 weeks. As you well may know, it's known to fall up here as well. But I figure it might take more than 3 weeks to accumulate that much snow! Then the weather girl states it was going to be -32F with the windchill. She also stated that she has never uttered the number before in her life! WOW, entertaining. If you get a chance to see a Canadian trapped in a tent while out at his favorite fish hole in 90F summer heat you will observe similar drama the Boston people are going thru today.
So Americans and Canadians are very similar ... just have some environment differences.
Pissing contest to say who's better but then we do drink more beer so make sure you don't request the "pissing contest" challenge!
Sort of drifted off .... fingers working today so I guess they can't shut down ...
Back to normal programing ...

We finally had our winter. We went from near 70 down to low teens in a week. We now have about 10" of snow or more.

We still only have 'patches' of snow on the ground here and there. Compared to last winter where we had probably four feet on the ground right now. Glad someone else is getting it all this year!

-18 yesterday morning when I left for work at 6am. We have about 14" of the white stuff on the ground. The weather has been colder than normal here in the Detroit suburbs. Folks dealing with frozen water mains, frozen pipes in their houses and frozen septic lines. The Great Lakes are over 80% frozen over. I do not remember that happening in my 57 years. Summer temps here in Michigan are supposed to be cooler than normal this summer due to the massive ice pack. Last summer the most frozen the lakes were was in the 60% range and it took until June for the last of the ice to melt in Lake Superior. Why on earth did my ancestors have to settle here?????
