It was -4 degrees here in Omaha Nebraska yesterday. My truck did not want to start it sounded tired. I thought my battery was done for then it turned over. Right now it rained for a few hours and now the roads are nothing but ice. I drive a 2wd ranger and lukily put on new AT tires on it and now im getting around great with out sand bags

Its only been about 5 or 10 degrees last time I checked. I wish it would either get colder, or snow more. LOL. I know theres guys here who would shoot me for that comment.

We have it rough out here in the west (AZ). heh. I think it was maybe in the 50's this morning on the way into work (~6am). By the time I got in, a sweatshirt was all I needed to get from my truck to the building. I think it's in the 70's by now, a bit after 2pm..
I don't know how you guys do it in that cold. And by cold I mean anything less than 40. haa haa...

It was 75 here in South Texas today, but its going down to 45 tonight! It is gonna drop like a rock, though, down to 20 by Christmas eve. One thing about all this sunshine...you don't have to shovel it, plow it, or scrape it off your windshield!! I grew up outside of Buffalo, so I really feel for all you icicle lickers!
