I wish. Took two hours to plow the yard and driveway yesterday. Snowing like a wannabe blizzard this afternoon.

I got out last Wednesday when the temps got above 70degF in Connecticut.  It was a great day for me and the Norge to get to know each other.

man, it would be nice to be in mild climates like Michigan or Connecticut vs being stuck here in rainy icy Okla.

I kind of feel like we paid for the nice weather with the bitter cold we had for weeks after the New Year.  Continuous temps in the teens ain't Canada, but you do take notice.  I don't ever remember a day in the 70's in February, but the one thing consistent about New England weather is it's always different.

That same day here in CT is the day I kicked myself in the ass and pulled the heads off my Cal 2 to send them out for new guides. I was born in St. Ignace, da UP, and I tell my kids every day this winter how we had snow on the ground all winter, none of this warm, rainy, slushy, icy crap. Warm in Feb is great, until it turns freezing the next day and everything that was wet is now slick with ice.

Glad you all had a good ride, though, those N. Michigan roads are AWESOME for their lack of traffic!
