11.8 to be exact ..... and it is dayum cold down here in Virginia. ;) Tomorrow it is supposed to drop down to 3*F with windchills around -10*F. :( Guess that I should be glad that I am not in Chicago.

I do not know how you guys up north stand this kind of weather. The older that I get ... the less I like the cold. Guess its time to start looking for property down in Florida. :P Wonder how much it will cost to install the "Eventual Left" turn signal mod on my Grand Marquis SS. :rolleyes:

Not too bad here, +2 right now and only got down to -11, but no wind. We've been expecting much worse so I can't complain. +25 for Sunday will feel like a heat wave :banana: , but more snow :(

Not before you install the white vinyl roof and rear opera windows!
Then Mike will get mad because you get more attention than the "Pimpmobile"!....:D

Hey, you laugh, but the first time I drove the P*mobile there was a chime dinging, that I later learned was the old geezer warning that the turn signal was on for more than 1/2 mile. It's got all sorts of warning stuff. For instance, Barb is always packing her "necessities" you know, those canvas bags full of crap she never uses, on the floor at her feet, then complains about not having any leg/foot room. Anyway, there's some sort of sensor that detects if the seat is jammed or something, because a warning chime and dash warning icon lit up, and wouldn't go off until she cleared the crap from the footwell.

That barge really is out of place, out here in the country. :coolman:

The LOW tonight is going to be a chilly 24, but the high today was 56.

I had to dig a sweatshirt out of my closet. ;)

I'll admit that's it pretty much God's waiting room down here, but the lack of snow makes up for it.

It was -17 and my Marauder fired right up and took me to China Town for some Chicken. The Procharger worked extra good! I don't know why some say Procharged cars blow their engines upon start up when it's cold out. If -17 isn't cold I don't want to know what is! :D

Started off this morning at 6.4*F. I am gonna bring a trunk full of this cold air to Carlisle this year and unload it under the MM.Net canopy to drive down that 101*F we had last year. ;) Now if we can get Mike, Paul, Paula, Ken, John, Jake, Mark .... and the whole gang to do it, we oughta have a nice "air conditioned" tent. :D


I figure each MM load of cold will drive down the temp about 1*F. With a 30 car showing, we oughta be able to get close to a nice 70*F day. :rofl:

I'll get right out there and harvest some. Should keep fine in the freezer until June. Now where did I put those insulated bags....?;)

On a serious note, if we had a generator, could we run any kind of fan/air-conditioner? Maybe we need a tent with sides? :confused: We definitely need to be able to run a blender. I make a mean Margarita.:D

My temp was +1* this AM in VA and the poor DTR was sitting out all night. I felt sorry so did not start her today at all. It's now up to +23* - at least bearable. This is too cold for VA. The high yesterday was +17 with wind.
