The Seattle area has been enjoying a week of unseasonably sunny skies, which I have taken advantage of, going for several cruises. The lack of cloud cover has also resulted in unseasonably cool temperatures -- and I've been here long enough that 25 degrees F now feels freezing! My truck has an Auto-Lite heater, which does a respectable keeping the cabin warm with windows up. But, with the drivers window down so I could signal, definitely pretty chilly.

Back before signal lights, was signaling required by law at intersections? Were there aftermarket turn signal kits for those who wanted to stay warm, or did people just wear more coats?
