    41 at the moment. 66 by 2pm. Bearable... But then it's usually warmer here on the valley floor.

    5F this am, 14F now (probably won't get much higher today) with some wind.
    2003 R50 starts right up. Clutch pedal is a little stiff the first couple miles
    at this temperature, but not so much that it's a problem.

    We are up to 10 here in lovely Columbus...

    Took Uber to go the Barber. Water main break in the next block from them. Had to shut down.

    Uber is not bad, not that expensive around town too.

    Hung on 50 most of the day, washed the MINI Countryman and the Jeep, both were dirty from before Xmas.

    Now is it is hanging on 27.7 and we are getting freezing drizzle mixed with light snow.

    Once again, I love Colorado.

    zero now and on the way to -9F overnight....we've had many days of this as Spa2k noted. Gets a little old, but the sunshine is nice. Uff-da

    Regarding the aforementioned shrinkage factor, I guess whatever doesn't chill us makes us longer?
