    We get both ends of the spectrum here. 110+ in summer but teens & 20's in the winter. Odd though-2 days ago it was 28 for the high. Was cool but crisp-and though it was cold I didn't notice it too much. Today it was around 40 but humidity was much higher (about 70%) and I just can't seem to warm up. Feet are cold toes hurt, fingers cold/numb for a while when I was outside.

    Racing? You guys crazy? There is a new years race coming up but the track conditions are always pretty sorry. Cold surface=no or little traction and for us guys who depend on all the traction we can get, it's almost a waste to even go. Would rather wait for warmer weather/warmer track than to chance taking out the car next to me.

    Yeah, winter stinks. Got a bunch of stuff to do, and it's either too cold or it's raining when I'm at home. Wish I had big shop, but only have a carport, and it's open on two sides-the north and east sides- where the coldest winds come from...:mad:

    I hate that there's not as much daylight. In the summer months IF I get home through the week I can get some outside stuff done before dark. Through the winter, if anything gets done outside it's usually because I've got an odd day off in the middle of the week.
