There's only one way to describe it...

It's STUPID COLD here in the south today. I am officially sick of it. Brand spankin' new 5er sitting in the back yard since 01/04 and can't even do a shake down.

Just walking out to "visit" it I get crazy wind chill. Not supposed to have to wrap up head to foot just to go out back and bring in firewood....NOT here in the Deep South!

I've been mentally kickin' myself lately for *ever* moving back here from Florida.

Dang Marc! I am sorry to hear about the weather there. We got hammered with snow that quickly became ice last week. However, if it helps any at all, I did think about you last weekend while we were camping!



Have a good day! Sorry to rub it in buddy!

....maybe snow in selected places but not in my area. Sorry but I'm not a snow fan at all. Bad memories from childhood at Santa's Village with frozen feet.
