Those of you that live in nice climates, enjoy your day. Here's what greeted me at 6:30 this morning!
Nope, not a swap meet day today!

G.M. · 02-02-2011, 10:51 PM

John it was sunny and 82 today here in S.W.FL. Nice day for a ride in the 39 convertible. G.M.

FL&WVMIKE · 02-02-2011, 11:07 PM

G.M. ..........................
It was a little cooler in Daytona Beach, today. It only got up to 80*. I don't miss the north at all !

Vic Piano · 02-03-2011, 07:22 AM

Tampa reporting in. Yesterday it reached 80 for a high. Sure beats NY.

Old Redneck · 02-03-2011, 07:27 AM

One got to be tough to stay up North and enjoy the weather.

We change seasons it realy gets cold down here once in a while. When it gets down to 50 we need 2 blankets. G.M.

345 DeSoto · 02-03-2011, 09:23 AM

Port St.Lucie...85 and sunny. Wifey and I went out in the boat and knocked hell out of the Pompano...

I remember snow so deep in the driveway that by the time I was done shoveling it, I couldn't throw it up over the banks along side. I have a "change of seasons" now, too. In October, I head south and change from autum back to summer...

I am from Ohio and some of my freinds ice fish, but it is like i told them. If i ever get to hate my wife so much that i would rather set on a lake covered with ice freezing my ass off waiting for a fish to bite than be with her i will get a divorce. LOL Marv

The DOWN side to the Snow Bird thing is that my car is tucked away for the winter...up north. I'm very seriously considering having it transported down here, next winter...

Chris Nelson · 02-03-2011, 11:14 AM

Snow Birds in the Phoenix area are having it cold today. At 9:00 AM this morning it is 28 degrees and yesterday the PGA gold tournament was cancelled.

FL&WVMIKE · 02-03-2011, 11:28 AM

345 Desoto ..........................
Pack it up - Bring it down ! Here in Daytona, there are all kinds of antique cars here, during the winter, sporting tags from New York, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maine, all of the New England states and many from Canada. Motorcycles too.

I brought my roadster from New England to Arizona. I had been driving around in the unseasonable cool weather, but parked it two days ago. I refuse to put the curtains on and run the heater.
Here's a picture I took outside my rental condo this morning. This is not why I came here. lol

Hey Mike, have you seen any cars with tag's from Maryland? :-) I am starting to get jealous of everyone who lives in FL. Especially those who make these posts about driving in convertibles with tops down in 80* weather :-). Oh no! We have more snow coming next week!! Coming down for the Barner Bash next month is looking better all the time. Vic has promised us good warm weather.

Up until recently my parents would drive their classic car down to Florida for the winter each year. It would be the only car they would have there. Dad had to finally switch to the SUV cuz it seemed every year Mom would want to take more and more stuff down with her. I think the last year was when they took their '40 Ford and by the time they got there Dad had to get two new rear tires cuz they had rubbed from the excessive weight in the truck.

Brent · 02-03-2011, 12:35 PM

The snow might be the only thing I DON'T miss since I moved from the northeast. Actually, scratch that, I'd take that snow over the nasty air we breath in Salt Lake any day.

weather on the central coast Ca, in the 70's for about 3 weeks now no rain in site, what about an early spring this year in the east, saw the ground hog on tv so he says it must be true. Harold central coast Ca.

tom/illinois · 02-03-2011, 10:12 PM

John I would have much rather had your snow. We got ice. My 30 year old white pines now look like telephone poles. Seths yard looks like a war zone. Doesn't look like it's going to melt soon either. On the bright side Phil didn't see his shadow.LOL.

Old Henry · 02-03-2011, 11:31 PM

0.9 degrees fahrenheit here yesterday morning. This morning it was a balmy 6 degrees.

FRANK PKNY · 02-04-2011, 04:32 PM

More snow this weekend!! Getting old and tired, can't afford to retire . Wonder if Vick would hire me to escort all the girls in Tampa around in his old cars!
