I am in eastern Virginia. It has gotten a little warmer, but lately it's been typical March....windy, cool and rain. My car club had a show & shine two weeks ago. That Friday it was almost 80 degrees and sunny. Saturday was 49 degrees, cloudy, windy and cold. The show was a bleak turnout & I forgot my camera. (Sorry Hemikin) Typical up & down VA weather. We finally saw the sun today after 5 days of drizzle, wind and rain. I actually took out the Challenger & washed it!! :bigsmile:

1990 Toyota Celica GT Liftback...........The new daily & winter driver.

Well, it WAS up around 70 here in SE Michigan, but it is chilly and raining now - This weekend is only supposed to be in the 40's, with a chance of snow. 

Ah, you can't complain about it though - Spring is here, and we've made it through another difficult Winter!  (I'm thinking positive, because I put up the snowblower yesterday)

Last weekend was great, Sunday was near 70° and that afternoon I got the car out for what was probably the earliest I have ever taken it out of hibernation!  I headed over toward my friend George's place where he returned after taking his Dart GT  'vert out for a early spin.
I still feel some remorse for not putting the top down.  I was on a tight schedule and didn't want to deal with snapping the several dozen clips on the boot in place. :banghead:
After I got home I did a quick oil change to get the winter storage oil out of there and put the car away, ready to go to the first local car show this coming Sunday (WPC show Elmhurst IL).
Now they are saying it will only get into the 40's this Sunday with some flurries early.  So much for taking the car to the show. :crying:
Maybe the weather will be nice enough to get the car out again this month, maybe not.  That's spring in Chicago for ya............

81 today, been in the upper 70's for 2 weeks. I didnt tell anyone, but Wife , myself, and my great nephew, 90 days old was caught in a tornado here a few days ago. We did ok, but everything around us was torn up. They are still cleaning up, installing roofs, cutting trees away off houses, and fixing gas lines.   But nice weather today....WINDY THOUGH :banghead:

Man, Al i'm glad you and yours are ok, not a thing on the local news about that and i'm barely a couple hundred miles away!!

I took these a few days ago before the azaleas and dogwoods around my house dropped their flowers :picture:

Here in Oslo, Norway, it's 48.9 °F / 9.4 °C, and starting to look like spring now, but we could still get assaulted by snowfall.
Lot of people had changed to summer tires two weeks ago, which turned out to be a bit early.
A friend of mine's husband was one of those who had changed too early, and paid the price by hitting the safety barrier twice with his car.

Well this past week in my part of Ohio has been very nice, basically low to mid 70's for highs and low to mid 40's for lows..............but it's about to change...............for the worse. Predicting possible severe thunderstorms with high winds, then turning cold with lows below freezing.  We had planned to make a long weekend of it, get away like we do on occasion, were planning on leaving tonight or tormorrow morning, but guess we'll wait and see what this weather is going to do. The anniversary weekend may just be snuggled up in front of the fireplace with some wine, actually that don't sound too bad, but I know Pam was looking forward to a couple days down at Burr Oak Lodge, we see ?

Typical Alberta weather...I got caught in a freak snow storm in Calgary yesterday.  We got 2/3 of a foot of wet snow and it took me 2 hours to get to the office.  This weekend it should be 20C!
