I love it, I'm probably in the .5% of people who actually like this weather. LOL.
Yes, you probably are. We got a bunch of snow here, and it's -6 right now. Wind chill is -28. The low tonight is -17, and the projected wind-chill is -40. Anyone down south want to trade weather for 3 months?

Not a good idea. It should probably be above 50 degrees for 24 hours before I would attempt doing that. Plus, your headlights should be clean. Which you can do now, but the problem is the cold is going to prevent them from sticking all that great. I'd wait if it was me.

Exubus, if we had not warmed up to almost 60 just after christmas and got about 2 inches worth of rain we would have 4-5 feet worth of snow sitting on the ground right now. Not exaggerating either. This is what people get when it warms up in the winter like that. You pay for it later on. I'm glad I don't live anywhere that floods, because when it melts again there will be flooding AGAIN.

Man, all this snow talk makes me feel like an outcast because it doesn't apply to me....So I think I'll just make myself feel alittle better by saying I love hot sunny days during winter season

Look for my project srt wheels thread to return in march because these badboys are going to get finished the corrct way this time. the wheels especially the rears, have had some paint peel and because of the dirt and small rocks have become not so shiny, so I am going to do them right with metal sealer and not spend over 100 bucks this time. I just have to go from 500 grit this time and I will use some 3000 grit sandpaper to get that perfect mirror finish before I seal the metal. alonmg with a thick new layer of graphite paint. I may take advantage of my free resources at school at paint them their with car paint, I'm still undecided. I still hjave tons of sand paper left over form the first time, just not 2000 and 3000.
