I love the snow. I love the cold. I love it when it's chilly out. I spend a lot of time outside in the winter.
BUT
I am tired of winter already! lol
I'm so ready for it to be top-down weather. 45 degrees is my cut-off. As soon as it hits that then the Boxster is getting a bath and we are going driving.
Unfortunately I don't see those temperatures in the next few weeks.

When I lived in Maryland my cutoff for having the top down was 40 albeit I was really bundled up.
But now in Florida the cutoff is around 60...the older I get the colder it seems to get.
Speaking of cold, the winter here has been cooler than normal although we are expecting low-mid 80s today - too bad the Boxster S is sitting somewhere in Finland waiting for a boat.

Come do a long weekend in UT! I was in waist-deep Alta pow yesterday, off to Brighton today. Apres ski will consist of beer and lamenting the loss of the Boxster for another month or so....

Wow, I am glad I got out of there when I did - my flight out of Chicago last night was one of the only ones not canceled. 3 hours late, but hey, I got home.
Enjoy the snow!

I should have worked from home today. I take Metra to the Loop and it was clear this morning.
One would think that being a weatherman I would know better and stay home.... one would think. hahaha
I just hope the BNSF isn't delayed going back to the burbs; and that Pace can get me to my house.

I'm working from home as well...
Here's a shot from earlier. We've had about 6 more inches since. I've already done the drive once.
This photo is looking up into the cul-de-sac from my front door.

Hey NickCats,
Your pictures out the window look awfully close to the architecture outside my house in Naperville. But then again, all builders build the same box.
I just tried to start my Boxster in the garage with no avail. My 4 year old battery is dead with only 11.0 volts on it. Just spent my day off replacing my dead porsche battery with a Duratec battery from Autozone. Looks like I have to have a better battery maintainer than the one I bought from Autozone. Do you guys prefer the one from CTEK or the one from Porsche. Just wondering. 
Appreciate you experience. Thanks in advance

Yeah I'm tired of snow too. We ski and enjoy the winter but every morning I see the Boxster covered in the garage and I'm ready for spring. Just waiting for a sunny, dry road day to take her out. Have not driven the Boxster since late November. And it's suppose to snow again tomorrow!!!
