33 degrees? Here in Michigan, a 33 degree day in February calls for dropping the pontoon boat in the water, firing up the grill and doing some tubing!

You just explained why I don't live in Michigan anymore.

...and no, Knurled, nobody had any umbrellas/parasols out. We wanted the sun. Besides, it was windy enough through most of the day to turn them inside out.

Seth,

How did it go? How was the surface? Need to change the course much? I spent the morning welding a new flex joint into the downpipe on the Jetta, so I couldn't make it today. Went to the RacerExpo in Mass yesterday. Mostly roundy-round stuff.

It went well. Surface was mixed, some parts thick ice, other parts packed/frozen snow. A couple of random spots broke up a bit, but changing of the course helped. I think it was successful, land owner was happy. Likely to happen again.

Hitting cones at cold temps is kind of neat, they just explode.
