Hi, greetings from SW USA. It's 71 degrees right now.

Cruising with the windows down and the glass roof shade open.. Car is shiny and fast.

Enjoy your 20 feet of snow, salt, and shoveling driveways! Suckers!

I’ve already spent way too much time the last week planning weekend road trips to Road America, Galena and Mackinac waiting for Winter to be over.

Ha! Heated driveway FTW. No shoveling for me!

(However, the snow does impede my corner entry)

Great picture, Aatish.

My daughter's school is already closed for tomorrow. I closed my Illinois plants for tomorrow, for our +250 employee's safety. I'm on business this week in Minnesota. Will be -27 tonight, and -33 tomorrow. LOL!

Stay warm Lex! I'm sure your employees will appreciate not having to traverse through the tundra tomorrow.

Have the option to stay home, but may just head in for a few hours just to make sure all is well. Question is whether the diesel will start up....

Stay tuned for cold start videos

No kidding ... I just returned from 3 weeks in Antartica and it was (on average) warmer there than it is expected to be in Chicago tomorrow. Crazy.

What kind of attention does the 911 get driving around Toronto/GTA?

And it's looking like by Saturday we will swing between 75F - 100F. Upper 40s, low 50s and Rain this weekend around Chicago.

And none too soon. I need a serious wash.
