First snow!
Well, today we were treated to our first snow of the season - this is a bit earlier than usual. It snowed on and off all afternoon, and I'm not just talking about flurries either. There were times when I could not see the Beer Store across the road out my office window! Panick set in momentarily, but it eventually cleared up so I was able to relax!
So there was a decision to be made.....I always said if I ever acquired a roadster I would not be "one of those guys" driving around with the top down when it's freezing out. Of course my wife likes it to be above 20 C before I put the top down, but I have been going to and from work with it as low as 15. Well today I did part of the trip home at 5 C and with this falling: Yes, that is snow - hard to capture in a photo......here's a better view: With the wind deflector installed, the heated seats on, and the heater blasting, I was quite comfortable. I'm not sure I would make it a habit, but I wanted to see how cold it really was. I do miss the heated steering wheel in the car I had previously..... Fortunately the snow is not sticking, so the roads were not terribly slippery, but the long dark winter is definitely coming...... |

It snowed all morning here. Couldn't see the golf balls. And to think I'm in Illinois, a LONG way south of you Canadian guys.
Enough, already! This is much too early. |
