Pretty slick! Be careful out there. As you probably know, the temps in this neck of the woods aren't as consistently cold as in the north, and fluctuate quite a bit.

We have to watch out for the "Pineapple Express" in Oregon! Warm air from the South!

It was like summer here last week on the Coast of Oregon! :shock:
