I live for the W word!!!! But ours is mild.... 20-30 lows, 50s high, no snow. It is my favorite time of year. You guys probably have -50 lows lol. When we visited South Dakota we went walking on an 8 degree morning with 20 mph wind and it blew right through all 4 layers I had on. It was pretty damn cold, I couldn't imagine another 20 or 30 degrees below that.

Our Summers are absolutely brutal. I think we're coming up on 70 days of over 100 degree heat.

^^ I think I have it worse than wthrman2 does though, he'd really go crazy here!!

Frequent -20 to -25 Celsius (roughly -10 F) not factoring windchill in those temps, frequent high winds, lots of white ****, and this lasts a good 4 months. The 500 isn't gonna go out too often during winter!

Our winters are similar with the odd -35 day tossed in. My car is a year round car.

I would take -10 over 112 any day! But I don't know about the snow. I don't like roads salted and having go deal with the car maintenance and rust.

Dear God no. You can always remove clothing. Do you ever get warm enough with negative temps? ::shudder::

Can you though?? Can you??? Lol

I love the cold! I think with proper cold gear I would be fine dipping into negatives, but nothing crazy. The 8 degree days would have been easier for us with a jacket meant for it, I just had a breathable cotton jacket.

When it's 110+ and humid it feels like you're taking food out of the oven, but that feeling is all over your body all the time. It's miserable.

What is not more Friday than spending time behind the wheel of this wonderful machinery...also, "Answer" and I were texting last evening but wanted to get other's input. On the rotor's picture, i noticed this last evening while waxing the car that there is a small shiny portion on the rotor's edge. He says his shows the same thing too but assume this is normal/ok?
