Yep, schools everywhere are closing again tomorrow..... Is it spring yet??????

I think one thing is for sure in that we will appreciate Spring a lot more this year than in the past 15 years or so. Calling for Snow here today with temps dropping down into the 20s by afternoon. I hope Spring isn't late like it was last year

That's definitely a plus.

Weather's been crazy here in Georgia this year. First day of winter it was around 75 degrees here, then not too long after that we had a high of 9 degrees one day. I suppose compared to my friends who live in the north I don't have much right to complain.

Compared to the last two summers, the cold might be worth that alone.

Yep, I take care of my baby.........:joyous: Heck, you're no further north than me!

yeh ,your right I forget that were really middle Ontario and northern Ontario in actual fact is still much further north .if I was to plug in anything it would be a battery warmer as no matter how warm your block is the thing wont start if the battery is frozen or almost frozen.as it is were 450 miles north of Toronto the center of the universe(just ask them).im now going out to snowblow the driveway for about the 70th time this year.i love the snow and snowmobile frequently but enough is enough.talked to lots of guys that have camps north of here and some cant even get there even with the big sleds as the snow is major deep .some people even have to use spotters to get out of their driveways!

If the battery is good it wont freeze or almost freeze..... When the block is warm(which is a relative term....Lol), the motor spins much easier and a lot less strain is put on it.... Starts as soon as I hit the key.......

I think even the most winter loving people are sick of it already..... It's sad when it's too cold to snowmobile, at least for me. And to think, we could easily have 3 more months of winter..........

What's all the problem? When I was a kid we had -50 everyday and had to walk 5 miles through blinding snow to get to school. Yesh, kids these days,,,,,,,,,

we got southern bugs. They don't dig as deep down especially for the extended hard freeze we've been having.

I think our bugs just fly south for the winter and then come back with new familiy members after partying too much on beaches. LOL

So were we. And we never got cold because we had to split fire wood before school, at school and after school.
