Well, if you lived in Atlanta, then you know that even in January, you can have one day that is in the 30s and it can be in the 70s the next. There have been several Christmases that we have spent in shorts and tank tops, then others in coats. But, after moving here from Colorado, I never find it overly cold here.

I had the day off, so I took my new camera and the Crossfire for a spin ( no pun intended). Turned off the ESP and went for a drive. Took a lot of photos around Lake Overholser, this is one of Bridgette in the snow.

And here is one of a poor little tree at the south end of the lake. Nothin' between it and the North Pole .

Can't wait for Spring.

Holy Hannah Chevyboy, that's alot of snow for y'all to deal with. It'll be gone soon I hope as it happens like that in the mid-atlantics, but still!!!!! I grew up in Cincinnati, and we'd get these and a week later it's 50 and gone, and this time of the year it would swing like that until the end of Feb. Here in the north, it'll be 10 and just stay that way gradually warming, and then one day, you'll see tulips popping out.

I think it may be an early Spring this year in the north midwest. The red twig dogwood was bright red at Christmas, when that doesn't happen here until the end of Jan, and this week I was talking to an acquaintance in Kansas City, where it was cold and stormy snows there too, and he said he saw two separate flocks of geese heading north, when at this time of the year they usually only go east west, or even south if they need to yet. So, maybe it'll be early here this year.

The roads here in Stillwater, OK are finally starting to clear up! The Crossfire has continued to do amazing day after day on the slick surfaces.

I cannot wait until the weather gets completely dry! I need to clay and wax my poor car so bad that it hurts!

Bob1340 My Admin Asst. lives in Greenville. Our Plant is 30 miles away in Erwin .....
You forgot the E in Greeneville. You must not be a native. Is your plant the new Bushhog plant?

We'll have to get together for coffee someplace, when it warms up.

Thanks for the positive review of the Michelin tires. When my Conti's wear out (which I expect to happen soon) the Michelin tires you are using were at the top of my list. And now I know that they really do work as advertised.

I went with the 275 30 ZR 19's in the back. It looks better, gives me a bit of curb protection, and seems to provide much better traction than the 255's did. Also, the new tire size affects the speedometer in such a minuscule amount it is unnoticeable. No clearance issues.

I went with the stock tire size in the front.
