It was 36 this morning, and has warmed up to 42 a few minutes ago. But the sun is shining and the skys are blue! Time for sunglasses.

I washed the TS the other day when it was 52 and sunny.

It was in the high 60s here today and I saw it peak at 70 yesterday. I geve Elwood a good wash last night, and of course it rained today. Atleast alot of the road salt is off that beautiful Batik Blue finish.

Hardly bug washing weather here... more like bug scraping weather.



We had thunder snow in Wisconsin. I saw a lightning bolt in broad daylight this morning on my commute to work, followed quickly by several thunder claps (must have been close). The whole time I drove today, I felt like an amateur rally car driver... The bug handled admirably though...

Gives new meaning to the words "snow tires".

Red face Great day, no wash today, though...

Today was 70F degrees... But Raleigh is still in a drought situation, and our local water board will not allow home-car-washing... We've had to do bucket-washing at the local spray-it-off washer place.

Bummer... However, I'm glad some NB.org folks' bugs got baths today!

We have an Arctic blast at the moment. I just know that the big, tall tree, that belongs to my backyard neighbor, is gonna make today the day to crunch my house.

No car washing today.

Too wet....

Perhaps if I sprinkle detergent on top of my bug, it can wash itself?

All of you people with warm weather make me sick.

Yesterday it was -38F. Today its -40F (With windchill)

I get to wonder if my car will start in the morning after being out all night, and you guys wonder whether or not you can wash your car?

FOR SHAME!!! tsk tsk tsk...


God.. I wanna live someplace warm

I will now stop complaining about our 18 degrees, wind chill somewhat less (don't know the exact).

At least, it's sunny!

Huh? can that be true? I know -41F is the same as -41C, but that's just unreal......

Take care with the coldfront overthere
