Low 60's yesturday with the top down. Beautiful weather for a top down cruise listening to the sweet sound of my gmmg. Now its been snowing and already have an inch on the gound with more to come. If it stays cold enough, and snows enough, were off sledding on the golf course. Big long runs.
What a difference a day makes
Will keep ya posted as the day unfolds

We have had way below normal temps here in Michigan and(right now it is zero degrees)and I would not even think of putting the top down just yet!

As of 10:45 am. We have 3/4" of snow in NC. Exact location for us is Lake Lure/Chimney Rock NC. About and hour east of Hendersonville and Asheville, and a little over 2 hours west of Charlotte.
The sledding meter is at a 3. 1 being not possible, 10 being great conditions (at least 6"'s)
We have steep runs up to 200 yards, and one that is a monster par 5 .

A bit of snow here in Charlotte too. It has stopped for the moment. But I am not looking forward to the forecasted ice storm tonight and tommorow. I have gasoline for the generator and kerosene for the kerosene heater. And (for whatever reason, I'll never understand) I suppose all the locals are buying out all the bread and milk in town too....LOL!

And it looks like we are stuck in this deep freeze for some time to come. Posted by 2002Z4CSS (Member # 1393) on :

It's so cold that my Reddy Heater even died! I had to buy a new one on Friday! Posted by cytruffle (Member # 1733) on :

They must really be from Central/South Texas.....weatherman forecasts snow flurries and a bunch of "flakes" run out & strip the grocery store shelves.....YOU THINK I'M KIDDING!....water, flashlights, toilet paper, batteries.....sheesh!!! Posted by Brian's 01 SS (Member # 1499) on :
UPDATE as of 1pm
Well the snow is mixing with sleet now. Roughly 2" on the ground. So we ventured out with the sled. I would say the sledding is a 7 on a scale of 1-10. My 8 year old daughter loves it. We tried four steep hills that border the golf course. Basically you start near the adjacent holes green, which is much higher up, and rocket ship down the hill toward the other holes fairway. Once you achieve a speed that is near out of control, you slide into the other fairway where you hope you can safely slow down.
One down, will venture out again as the stuff continues to pile up

This weather is for Alaska and Northern Canada. Hopefully this will end soon. Posted by SVT THIS (Member # 1352) on :
Gonna get hit with snow and sleet later tonight! We already have about 5" on the ground form the past 2 snowfalls. Just enough to do some cross country skiing! THough I have yet to go skiing this year. Almsot too cold to do it, haha.
I'll probably clean up my car since I'm selling it. Its a bit of a mess Posted by cytruffle (Member # 1733) on :

That sounds like SO MUCH FUN!!!! I'm sure your daughter loves the sledding as much as she loves spending time with Dad!! Posted by Brian's 01 SS (Member # 1499) on :

If she's not helping me polish up the SS (she usually does wheel detail, and she's good at it! ), then what the heck, we'll sled it. Mom doesn't like the snow . She falls down to much on the steep hills. lol

Cytruffle's Winter Fun Guide:
1) Cross-country skiing -- tie two fence slats to feet; attempt to slide feet forward on grassy surface
2) Sledding -- place posterior on garbage-can lid; sit in center of slightly inclined street; push off with arms; go "WHEEEEE!"; avoid oncoming traffic
