Anxiously waiting for spring

I'm dying here.  Being in SE Michigan we should have a few feet of snow on the ground but there's none.  It was 55 the day before yesterday and we're staying above freezing all week.  I'm just dying to get the Charger back and lay some rubber down!  Not being able to even see it for several months is not helping either.

I hear you on crazy and nuts.  I was a couple hours east of you shopping for a snow plow last Saturday -28 degrees.  On Monday it was thunder and lightening.   High 60's in Atlanta yesterday.

'98 is last time I remember this kind of weather.  Rarely wore more than a sweater.  It was the first time I heard the term El Nino.

I had the Daytona out weekend before last it was 6o degrees. I am ready to start cruizing!

Well, last weekend it was 70 degrees here in Southern NM (yes, it is a state in the US). I Took my daughter and niece to play at the lake in the Charger. I kept thinking I should have taken the camera for some good shots. Water was still a little cool so my daughter just ran around the shore line (Lake Carlsbad Beach) Sorry for intruding on your Northerners story :nana:

What the heck are you guys talking about?  It's been 75 degrees here in San Diego since November as usual. :nana:

Here here!  I am already scheming on a way to get her back to the house in the AM when the roads are frozen.. I live on a dirt road so after winter I have to wait for Mud season before I can really get her out. Was thinking I would get her home early and start to get the little things done on the warm spring afternoons.

Almost no snow in the middle and south Sweden either, I guess we finally have some payoff for our contribution to global warming.

I hear you there, as well... Last weekend we got 5-6" of snow.. The next day it was 50 out. Yesterday hit 60, our windows were all open...  I would HATE to own a Ski Resort in this area right about now...

It is a strange winter for sure.  some VERY cold days, but barely any snow.   It has given me some time to work on this for my wife so she'll have a mini for the desk.  looking forward to warmer weather so we can get back in the garage and finish fixing some oil leaks.   :2thumbs:

Im here just north of Grand Rapids Michigan and its going to be 40 tomorrow, crazy... but I like it cause im a garbage man. And I cant wait to get my new Superbird out this spring.

Just had a week of around 105* and quite frankly I'm over it. Not much better for the next few days either.
We have a cruise next weekend and a lot of us are praying for some cool weather to come along.


Gotta love a '69

I guess the grass is always greener.  I will say there is a big difference between cool and out rite cold weather :shruggy:  Supposed to be in the 40s today and no wrestling so I am on my way to the garage. :cheers:

I remember getting to Carlisle in 2010 and it was 104* and I thought I was going to die. How can you live in that?
I used to own a mopar because it was different, but now I know better.

Its been a great winter here in Ct  compared to last year. Had the Charger out yesterday and the Gold Wing out today. 40's
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

Em not let you keep it in the garage? :icon_smile_big:

Nothing but rain for the most part & like said, that's also fine with me because we are getting closer to spring.

I plan on driving my heap more this year but nothing to far away.

Not a strange winter at all, we're in the Sunlamps year rotation is all this year.. every 11 years we have it. I for got about it also until recently when I was reminded by an old timer  :lol: 

BTW, nice model charger you are building there, what color is that?
