Who else has been enjoying this warm winter (in the states)? Seriously, no snow and january is a day away? Temps in the upper 30s/40s, in wisconsin? Hard to believe, but I'm not complaining! I was able to drive the 924 into December before the roads got covered in salt. Actually though, I took it out for a little drive yesterday to make sure she was full for the winter and put her in her resting place for the next two or so months.
If Winter is over by February I'm gonna sing Hallelujah! I say bring on global warming!

Temps over 45 and sunshine every day at 8300'(2300m). The mountains are way short of snow. Unless it starts snowing soon we're going to have a dry summer.

It's been 60 here in NM for a week or so, the 20" of snow we got recently is down to not much.

I wouldn't mind winter to continue how it has.. No snow, although it was pointless to purchase a Jeep for winter haha..

Think it was about 75 here today, felt warmer. Went for a short ride, hot start problem is rearing it's ugly head again.

Not running too bad while cruising, think I got the lurching fixed. Got to take advantage of the ideal weather and drive.

We're supposed to be in the middle of our summer at the moment, but it's been raining all the time and very cold for this time of year (haven't even had the aircon on!)

This year is seriously weird. We had just few days ago 10 degrees C and I had to pull out the lawnmower because the lawn is still green and growing.

Last year at the same time we had -25 degrees C and around 1 metre of snow...

A very weird winter indeed. It snowed a little the past few days, and the highs are only going to be in the teens today, but in a couple days it's going to be above freezing again. This time last year I think we had at least a couple feet of snow and lows around -10F. I know though all this 'good weather' from my perspective is hurting many businesses who rely on good snowfall from around November til March. With no snow, there's no snowmobilers or skiers and if there's no snow in February there may be no American Birkebiner.

Hmm, maybe all those old toofas out there chugging 20mpg finally burned a hole in the ozone.

Still crazy warm for January in Minneapolis. Popped the 924 out for some driving this weekend. Sunny and no snow. Can't ever remember getting the tires to chirp on a corner in January in Minnesota! Hit 50 again today, might run it to work tomorrow and than back to hibernation since winter is supposed to be back by Wednesday.
