    I think you cats deserve a little credit for dealing with that kind of extreme cold. It was 13 last night, and we consider that pretty brutal here in Massachusetts.

    At -9 or -35 (horrors!), you could sure shave some time off the chilling of beers. Five minutes outside and they're ready to go.

    you really get used to it, especially if you have lived here your whole life. We normally get a week or so in Dec where lows are -30F and a week or two in Jan that hit -40F. Then every 10 years or so we get a really nice cold snap of -55. After that you start thinking that a high of 13 is warm.

    And our town roads up here are constantly covered in salt/sand and ice. You almost never actually see the road itself from Nov-April in town. Highways are normally kept in good shape.

    I agree. With that last weekend even our current single digits are noticeably warmer

    I'm okay with it being cold as long as it keeps snowing

    Oh and saturday I was working with a friend on his truck and we left the pops outside. Didn't take long and they were already slushy.

    Hell - I drove with my windows down the other day - felt refreshing doing 80+ with a high in the negative digits. I needed some fresh air and the soothing overtones of a CAI'd Duratec screaming away. After a long cold snap - single digits do feel warm

    i found that driving at 70 in -20 temps, if you put your fingers outside for about 10-15 seconds, you lose feeling in them

    A Super Bee. Very nice. One of my favorite classic Mopars is the Coronet R/T. These two cars shared plenty of parts, including front ends through '69. The convertible, in rust metallic, is my favorite. Love that black tail stripe. Unfortunately, I couldn't find that exact combination. Here it is in white:
