Almost the end of December and its 62 degrees outside. Maybe someone up there does like me! Gives me 1 final go with the top down before the snow.

Enjoy it while you can, Howard...after the last couple of frigid days in west/central MD, today is your lucky day.

I was completely sure it was December on Monday when my job kept me outside for quite some time.

Not so sure today, but whatever it is, I like today better than Monday

Just spent a week out in the St. Louis area for Xmas with the wife's family...and we were lucky to see temps climbing out of the single digits for highs. Avg. temp was maybe 15 degrees out of all the 7 days we were there

Coming back home was even more of an adventure. Traveling through 30 plus inches of snow through Indiana, Kentucky, and parts of Illinois was no easy task. We had the wife's Nissan Armada which is very capable in bad weather...just not so capable on icy interstates. Average speed coming back on I-64 through IL, IN, and KY was about 40mph...had to stop in Louisville at 2am to sleep and calm my rattled nerves. But, back home, when a 35 degree day feels like a tropical climate, and really looking forward to the 60 plus degree temps on tap for this weekend Have a safe and happy New Year's everyone!!!!!

Yes we're sure it's December, we got to Memphis last week only an hour ahead of the ice storm!

If you think DC gets screwed up in snow an ice you need to go to Memphis, they take it to a whole new level! 26 sand trucks and no plows. The interstates were pretty clear 4 days later, but most of the other streets still had a good 2 inches of ice on them!

It's a good thing the Subaru has all wheel drive!

I was looking at the forecast for the week. It's supposed to stay 50-60ish all week long. Looks like I can use my sunroof during the winter without having to really crank my heat.
