It's still February in the upper midwest... you'll have that from time to time... nice part is, only a few more weeks, and it has no real choice but to warm up. Had it been like this in January for any length of time, I would grumble more, but over all, I can't complain for how the winter has gone.

It's 67 degrees where I'm at. I'm in my living room. Outside its d..n cold. The way I think of the cold (or the heat oin the summer) is it makes the mild days that much better.

cant complain about the winter, it has been damn nice this year, i even had the harley out several times, even driving up to greenbay hasnt been bad this year. If i gotta put up with a week of cold weather to get to spring , well i will take it.

I must say, I do like the cold -- it's good for business.

Thankfully, I've only had one diesel to start this year.
