Talk to me when there is a minus sign in front of that 35. Then you will know what my morning has been like. Heck, 35F is light sweater weather here.

I know, what a whiner

Would it help if I said it was 31 when I left my house?

Time to get that Boxster fitted with a block heater and command start. Did you have to scrape frost off the windshield?

35f LOL

I just walked 30 minutes in 6f with a headwind. too much ice to ride my bike on slicks.
Never thought I'd have to look into winter tires for a bicycle.

Rode my Triumph Daytona to work today. I had to put the liner in my jacket as it was 41. Terrible. At least ride home was a balmy 77.

Seat heaters are the best! Even though the heating in the Boxster is great and gets warm quickly, it's nice to grill them roids for 10 mins before it gets up to temp inside the cabin
