[Professur]

We were at the cottage on the weekend. The missus wanted to go swim in the lake. The boy picked up some nice snaps. I'll see if I can upload some.

Am I the only one who really wants to see a full fledged NASCAR race in the snow? I mean winter tires, snow on the track, drivers wearing mittens.

Short answer..... Yes.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Im praying for rain @ the road courses next yr.

close enough?

 

[BobbyFord]

Mittens?!!
Holy crap, that would entirely kill any competitive, killer instinct.
They might just sit down in a circle and settle for pattycakes.

I'm not.

 

[DanicaFreak]

I'm not.

Rain tires will be the coolest thing ever. Ive wanted it for a long time....

 

[HoneyBadger]

How awesome would it be if the jet stream shifted in a way that Los Angeles got blasted by Arctic weather?

That reminds me...Id like to see a charity race....All the drivers race in identical cup cars with proceeds going to charity. We can do it in the snow, rain, mud whatever. It would be awesome

It snows here every 30-40 years. Which is often enough for me.
Be careful of what you wish for. If it gets over 100 in the northeast you guys will perish.

Earthquakes are no big deal. More hype than anything.

We've got a word for that. It's called "summer". And I don't live in the Northeast.

Anything north and east of SoCal is the northeast.

I'm getting the storm that Mike Honcho, TRL, Magnet and others endured the last couple of day's. It aint a lotta fun. It's even got the live and water oaks bending over almost to the ground. Gonna cool off into the 50s tomorrow night.

They're calling for three more inches of rain from this storm. As if we haven't had enough rain the past month.

I'd like to see a little rain around here. Not much, just a little. I can't complain, though, it's currently 88. I worked outside all day on my Columbus Day off.

 

[VaDirt]

Someone turned summer back on. Almost tempted to turn the A/C on again.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Yesterday morning from 5 AM to 8 AM brought another 2.25" of rain. It also brought in some cool air --- only 52° this morning.
Loving it.
