Dataman -- after our deep freeze last week, today was gorgeous! It reached a high this afternoon of 48.7 at 3:52 PM. Then the bottom dropped out! It is now down to 12 and still dropping! The wind is 31 mph and it is whiteout snow!

Are you hinting that may be your ride? (drool icon here)
Not sure they are available up here yet.

No, it's not the fault of you Canuks. It's just simple geography. When a front roll out of Canada and heads South down the Great Plains, there's nothing to stop it until it runs into a warm front coming out of the Gulf or the desert Southwest. That's why it's called Tornado Alley where they meet. I lived in the Dallas-Ft Worth area and, in a January, had it go from 83F at 11AM to 32F by midnight. I was working ouside that day and you could physically feel the temperature changing minute by minute.

We have a second challenge starting at 00:00 UTC on the 4th with Diana G's Christians team. Based on average daily points of 247,090 for the Christians and 207,754 for MOT during the same timeframe, the challenge will be handicapped. Christian points will be multiplied by 0.84080 to convert to MOT points or MOT points can be multiplied by 1.18934 to convert to Christian points. Challenge will run four weeks thru the end of 3/3.
