What, you say it's a bit chilliy "Over There"? I thought Al Gore said we would all burn to death, unless we stopped using motorcars. Don't worry' Mate. On 20 January, 2009, thats all going to change. For the Hope of Change, least anyways. :roll:

What you guys & gals complaining about? I would like for it to be cool all the time. Now I have to worry about keeping
MRE'S at a good temp here in South Texas this summer. Even on a daily basis the weather changes 40°, summer time gets to the 100's. When its about 60° F here in Texas the town basically slows down, people stay in, we just aint made for that cold stuff.
trick: if you want to make the little degree [b]{°}[/b] mark while typing text, just presss and hold the ALT key and press the numbers 248 then release the ALT key.

Btw, to make a "°", I just use the "°" key from my keyboard top-left, right under the ESC-key :wink:

Looks like a fun time. I miss winter and lots of snow like that. We used to live up north in Ohio where at least it got nice and cold during winter...but it was mostly cold, cloudy, and rainy. But even then, we would have a few heavy snows and lots of ice. Now that I'm "down South", snow is just something I get to see in pictures on the forums. :-)

P.S. Yes, I know that by saying all that above, I am all but guaranteeing that Charlotte, NC, gets slammed with the biggest winter storm we've ever seen.
