That is cold for you guys - that's a normal morning temp for us this time of year. We were around 4 degrees this morning.

No snow down here, but temps are dipping below freezing. Looked at the Flashpaq5 tuner online and it looks ok to me, but I really have no idea about such things. So, I sent Santa a letter asking for one...


Now we wait.................

Good morning guys. Started off this morning at 3 degrees but the sun is out full blast. We got 6.5" of snow yesterday and have 10" on the ground now. Highest snowfall reported in SE MI from yesterday's storm was 9.5".

Wow you are up there for sure, no wonder you got frozen tundra. Nest summer my wife has a convention in Sioux Falls, SD we will drive to that. I recall making a few trips to Little Falls and St.Cloud, MN. When I returned from the military I joined a Guard unit and we went to a Camp Ripley several times, some summers and a few winters. If you walk outside with a cup of hot coffee in 3 steps it is cold already. lol To bad we haven't invented those clear glass domes that are in all the sifi comic books. Anyway stay warm.

Good morning guys. 8 degrees this morning. We're looking at more snow today, potential for heavy lake effect bands and squalls, with the chance for an additional 1-3" on top of the 10" we currently have on the ground.

Our roads are better today but a lot of em were pretty crappy yesterday as you can see below (took this while I was out around noon/1pm yesterday, and that's a main road)...

Good afternoon everyone, just got done pulling cover back off the Monte and back in the garage for more tinkering. Average day here maybe 20 degree's outside. My car don't like the cold, I had a flashback of starting a engine with a carb and choke, oh the good old day's.

Wow! we are real lucky here only 27 this morning and no snow to deal with. It has been windy and dry. Christmas will be in Colorado and I know they will have snow on the mountains there.
