It's in the low 40's and sunny here in central Ct. Feels good, but won't last. All it did was make the snow heavy and hard to snowblow last night's 6 inches. Back to the freezer tomorrow!

Yeah, yeah, yeah! I bet that's mounted in the shade, on the wall of your cabana out there next to your pool. DD

Hey Jimmy, I like it. About 52 here in Northern Calif. Spring is on it's way, I hope

keith oh · 02-22-2015, 03:29 PM

I'll bet it is mounted inside a gated community for protection.

It's in the shade, by the pool and not in a gated or HOA community.

It's warm here too. About 40 degrees. I ran the pickup out to the shooting range 24 miles from town and back with the radiator half shuttered with my cardboard thermostat, the temp gauge got half way up to normal. Got to change the thermostats and the water pumps. As you can tell I'm still fighting my too cold running problem but I'm hoping the new stats will make her warm up properly.

Mine isn't in the shade

Holey Moley! You have the same thermometer. How "cool" is that?

It is a cold 53 today farther north in California. About an 8 mph wind out of the north. Just added wood to the fire.

It is 61 here in the north end of the central valley of California. Very windy though.

johnh7 · 02-22-2015, 07:42 PM

Yes they have the same thermometer, the very same thermometer. It was just altered. Nice.

I'd be willing to bet that 51 MERC could even make that red stuff flash, if he put his mind to it. Just sayin'! DD

Yep, I feel warmer already!! So far this month of Feb we are averaging 11 F. NY started keeping records around 1820 and we are going to break the record for the coldest Feb in 1934 at average 12F.

Chose your state and chose your fate...........
