I feel sorry for you folks,,,

Who live in areas that have constant summer weather. Today I experienced our first "warm" day since I can't remember when. Tomorrow is supposed to hit the high 60's. This is truly a life changing experience after the winter from hell. I spent the afternoon and evening with the garage doors up and putting the wheels back on the SL. The winters are getting to be a royal pain in the ass, but the great feeling you get when the warm weather hits, almost makes it all worth it. Hope to have the top down tomorrow,,, hope all my northeast brothers and sisters enjoy it too.

Yeah I know what you mean. I felt real bad last week when I took my boat out on an 80 degree day, especially considering my parents' boat is still in winter storage because the lake their marina is on is still frozen. I'm slowly getting over it, though...

After having grown up in PA and OH, the only reason I can come up with for liking cold weather is that there aren't as many bugs. I want to move to a place where it's warm and comfortable year-round.

Yeah, it's tough living is a climate where you can't hide the holiday flab that accumulates from Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Superbowl, Valentine's Day, etc. under layers of sweaters and sweat suits.

Our son lives in Houston and he doesn't hesitate to tell me how great the weather has been.

Some of our lakes are still iced over. Got up to 59 degrees yesterday though.

I know where Butler is, 422 right? I'm from St. Marys (255 and 120) and still have grandparents and aunts and uncles there. My great grandfather was one of the founding members of Ridgway. Although cold, it certainly is a beautiful part of the country. I was just there over Christmas and I did get to see the elk. Well worth a trip for you to go and see them if you haven't. My folks, BTW, are in Syracuse...

422 and 68 to be exact. Actually Pa. has some very impressive scenery and tax wise it's no worse than most and better than some. Because of the weather though, the roads go to crap in pretty short order.

The weather for our AMG drag strip GTG this Sunday will be partly cloudy, high around 80 and southeast winds at 10 mph. I don't know how we'll manage, but we'll try. I hope all those long legged Georgia girls don't wear their cutoff short shorts!

The weather's been real windy here all week. It's only 75 outside so I don't think I'll be driving to far from home this weekend.

Really sucks!
