Our local Cobra replica group has a tradition of a New Years Day cruise down into DC, through Georgetown, around the mall, and then on to some local watering hole for libations. Since the roads were wet and salty on New Years Day, we cleverly rescheduled the event for Sunday. Brilliant! Temp was 14 degrees when I left the house and never got above the low 20s. The wind chill at 70mph was truly inspiring!

When I got home, I had one errand I needed to run. Since I was already "acclimatized," and since the Stalker needed some exercise, out it went. My wife said nothing, but the look I got suggested she'd already made several call inquiring about psychiatric help. All in all, an enjoyable if somewhat chilly day.

On New Year's Day, during the annual "Tour de Orange" in Southern California, it was 17 to start, and got up to 23 degrees by the end of the 160 mile tour.... We are talking Celsius, right? Right?

Gary,

Acclimitized = completely numb ;-) Glad you enjoyed it! Just the thought of the wind chill at speed is making me cold.
