My thermometer doesn't even go that low. Shocked

For us that still refuse the metric system LOL it is -32.8 F and a wind chill of -58 F. 

It's a balmy -8 C or 17.6 F here in the Buffalo/Niagara region.

I've always said it's just a matter of getting acclimated to the weather...who the heck am I kidding?  That's freaking COLD!!!

I promised I wouldn't send you any cold nasty weather again like last year. This year you can blame Dave. It's all his fault. He mentioned something about sending you a surprise snow fall. Wait?...didn't I see snow not to long ago down your way? Well if you do see snow, remember it's all Dave's doings. He has a sick sense of humor. LOL

Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
Yes it is another hard Winter week in San Diego.  It has gotten down to the high 30's at night and the low 60's during the day.  

Sorry I just could not help myself I spent the last two weeks in Baltimore visiting Grandchildren. I left the house may be 6 times.

At least when it gets cold you can put more layers on and cover up the skin.

When it gets to 110F in the shade and you are semi-nude and the water in the pool is hotter than your body temp, you have to go inside and sit in front of the frig with the freezer door open and the fan on high blowing on your face.

Somewhere in the middle is where I want to be.
