    Hello,
    So Cal is also having a mild, normal, February. It was 77 in San Diego, yesterday. But, the ocean breezes were a welcome relief. We were having lunch just up the coast and were sitting in an umbrella, shaded table outdoors. Our young neighbors were just sitting next to us in one of the only tables without an umbrella shade. Since we were ready to leave, I asked them if they would like our shaded table. Their reply: "Thank you, but no... We are from Canada, so we don't get to see the sun or feel its warmth as much as we can. So, thank you, anyway, but we like the sun."

    Jnaki
    The discussion went on about them getting as much sun as possible for their So Cal stay. We did not have the heart to tell them we have been having this same temp range for the last several weeks. Our hearts go out to you guys in the cold weather climate areas, whether in Canada or the East Coast or parts in between.

    On the way home, there was a So Cal driver in his old El Camino with his windows down, just cruising. Also, there was an old Ford truck cruising in the slow lane.

    In Florida I can't remember a colder winter. I'm freezing my baguettes off.

    It was a very comfortable 0 degrees out at 5am when
    my friend "Wheeldog57"and I went to pick up a ModelA chassis he had purchased south of here.
    Four flat tires, and frozen 6" into the ground, with a hole 6" wider than the wheels to pull it out. Mission accomplished. Lots of coffee and help from "Mikel50" ( trailer worked great!) and the platform for Ronnies next build is home. Coupe time.

    Just wanted to extend our sympathies to you and all the fine folks in your area @Movinman. It’s truly a national tragedy that happening far to often. Our hearts are broken.

    :D Winter does suck.Here we have had no snow to speak of.Maybe 1/2 in so far.Last two weeks had nothing but rain.First sun today.Tomorrow SOS for the next week.Was born and raised in Vero Beach,Fl,and I remember at least three times that we had snow there.Was cold enough that in shaded areas,it stayed for a couple of days.That was better than 50 years ago though.A friend of my Fathers was from Bangor Maine and said that from the end of Sept to the end of March it was a "Good place to be............................FROM".Then he would laugh.To all the folks from snow country.Please be careful.Don`t need any broken bones.OR worse.
    Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.
