It's 35 and sunny. I ended 2015 on a strong note, slept till 9:00 this cold morning. Yesterday was a hard work day. Got up at 5:15, drove 100 miles, worked steady til 5:00, drove home and didn't get to bed til 1:00.

Truck averaged 20.1 running 75 going down, 80 coming home, very little wind.

The first time it's snows it's pretty neat but by the fourth or fifth time that's when one starts looking forward to the end of April....IMO

For the most part the snow really isn't that bad it the COLD **** temps that get to me

I'm telling you -- there is a market for a Ranchero/El Camino vehicle built off a mid-sized car if the manufacturer's wanted to pursue it! I wish Ford would pursue that and own the market rather than being a "me too" competitor with their proposed Ranger! I would be beating a path to my dealer if they came out with a new Ranchero built off the current Fusion platform.......

Growing up in Minneapolis, the winter months got awfully long, with snow often on the ground from late-November to early-April. Here in Houston, the weather from May through September is equally as brutal -- just exchange the cold and snow for heat and humidity.

The wife and I lived in Kansas City for a few years back in the early 90's and that climate was just about perfect -- four clearly defined seasons but none of them so extreme that you felt as if you wanted to blow your head off with a shotgun because they were so miserable......
