Its now 68F in Tulsa with a wind out of the south at 15 to 25 mph. A great drive in! :)
In Tonkawa where the Insight marthon was held its 38F with a north wind at 15 to 25 mph.
The artic cold front is here. Hope the drive going home is good with the big time tail wind. :)
Will get to see how the Civic does in the snow and ice Thursday.

KOA in Denver said their high will be 16F and it's heading east to Oklahoma and Texas.
Hi Psy:
___Here in the Chicago area we have seen drops like that but this one will be a bit more gradual on this go around. It is currently 61 degrees with a drop to the low 20’s within 48 hours projected :(
___Good Luck

Awww...I was going to take you up on who can skate fartherest on an Insight.
Might be off a couple of days, but on Dec 13, 2000 work was dismissed early. Was going 40mph the first five miles, then the next 25 was 2mph stop-and-go for the next 4+ hours. :eek:
Thirty miles - 25mpg - can you beat it?

Could this be the perfect weather to patronize that legendary Oklahoma establishment Eskimo Joe's (http://www.eskimojoes.com/)? :D

Hi Guys:

It happened too quick to snap a picture, but leaving early due to iced roads, I had a Dallas pic of white roads behind a car with an Illnois plate. :D
Hi Chuck:
___How fitting! It has just started in the south suburbs of Chicago but has not reached the far north ones yet. I will try and snap a pic of the first flakes if it arrives before to long ;)
___Good Luck

man i just battle 2 weeks of snow... sure it costed me a nasty mpg hit but i'm so glad i made it without buying snow tires mua hahahahahahah!
man my current mpg is like 40 and with snows... i cannot imagine how worse they will be... so glad the weather is getting towards the positive temps (above 0 degrees C)
and boy those poor souls that did not block their radiator... i have no idea how on god's earth they kept warm because our coldest was at least 11 MINUS degrees C! Heck turning the heater on for like a few mins quickly dropped the engine coolant from 90 degrees C to 70 degrees C no problem (and for my prius to be engine off happy... it must be above 70 degrees c!)
man no radiator block I would have been murdered ~ pexi glass rules!
