This is my last Texas winter, enjoying it while I can. In the spring we're moving back to SW Michigan, I didn't miss those winters after I moved.

 

I was driving with the windows down in a short sleeve shirt earlier.

Enjoy your snow!

 

Yep, here in Tallahassee too. But this Monday /Tuesday night is forecasted to be 25/22 degrees....that's in FL!!

 

 

LOL, good one Stealth!!

 

 

Yep. Drove through Atlanta today with my window down.

I don't miss the Ohio winters.

Its been very dry here in Utah so far this season. Last year was a heavy snow year. Hopefully it will be a mild winter.

 

I detailed the truck today.
