Heck, up here in Tallahassee, Fall is definitely in the air. Got a couple of nights that dipped into the high 40s and low 50s already. Had to scrounge up a long sleeved shirt one morning when I had to run out early.
So yeah, cooler weather is definitely here.

You did what in your t-back when it was 30 deg out?
Man, I moved down here from Maryland and really HATE cold weather. When I worked for the state here, I often heard people say that they LOVED cold weather and especially snow. When asked, NONE of them had ever lived up in the North, much less been exposed to that white crap. So I always asked them "Have you ever DRIVEN in snow or on ice? Ever had to shovel that stuff so you could walk to your car? Brush off snow from your car at 6 am with a stiff breeze blowing that stuff all into your hair and down your neck?"
Of course they looked at me like I was a real wet blanket to their fantasy vision of Winter. :lmao: But if you ain't been there, don't wish for something you really have no idea about. Snow and ice only looks good in pictures. Driving in salt laden slush or hitting a patch of ice in freezing rain and suddenly finding yourself spinning down the road, completely out of control, is NOT fun!

Rich,
I'm from Maryland also. Howard County. I hated the cold weather and the white stuff that came with it. Like a lot of other owners, the Vette stayed in the garage almost all winter. It's one of the main reasons that after 32 years with the Fed Govn't I took a buyout and moved down here. This is one of the pictures I keep around to remind me of winters up in Woodstock Md. That's my wife's Geo and my Daily Driver Nissan 2000.

I really like the cold, and have been in it alot, but the driving thing does suck. Snow is much better as a kid than adult.
I have to agree with a few points made here. The snow is much more fun when your younger than when you get old. Driving certainly is a challenge in the snow, I remember one time I had quite a ride on the way to work one snowy day, a couple of cars in front of me hit sending a pickup truck sliding from the right lane accross the three lefthand lanes, he bounced off the guard rail head first, I passed him on the right missing him by only inches at 45 mph. God I miss those days. Blizzard of 78, ya my car was in the driveway with only the antenna mast visable, no work for a week, really brought the community together, against the law to drive so you had to walk everywhere, no electricity for a couple of days so no ability to get money from the banks.
As for here, I have had my windows open for the past three or four days. The last two I have slept with the windows open at night and this morning I found myself wrapped up in my wifes arms and legs, look mom I'm a rihnoceros.:lmao:
