It's cold, but that's normal for December in this area. We haven't had any of the real cold stuff yet.

If the weather is getting to you now, how ya gonna handle +6 degree highs and -10 lows in the dead of January?

As far as I'm concerned, I'm just damn happy that we've had such little snow around Chicago. Hopefully it keeps warming up just before the storms and it keeps coming in as rain. Yeah I know that's just a pipe dream......

I am in Indy and it snowed here yesterday but it didn't stick. We don't get snow that bad, amybe dumped on 2-3 times a year. I drove my Mustang last winter, this year I have a POS to drive. Actually I haven't driven the T/A in about a month.

I delivered newspapers seven days a week for five years, so I'm used to the extreme temps....I just don't think about it being cold, so it doesn't bother me.

not so much as it's cold as ****...more like there is just an extreme lacking of warmth.

i'm still washing my car in the driveway.. i move to the garage when it gets about 20 out to wash it.. then i bust out the yellow dish gloves to keep my hands from freezing off..

my new neighbor thinks i'm nuts.. maybe, but it is my daily driver so i have to keep it clean..
