Here in sunny MI, the wind chill was 40 below zero (F) today. Gives quite a perspective on the life of a bomber crew. Those guys had it tough, even without flak and fighters. Salute to them all!

Anyone know where I can get an electric heated flight suit, and a real long extension cord?

Yep popeye , here in MI we have more snow in December since 1929 if I got it right . It sure is going to be a white Christmas

Been using the snowblower about 3 times a week . Was 1985 since we had really any snow on the ground etc much .

Have you ever seen a southern boy try to drive on snowy roads. Thinking if they spin the tires enough it will melt the snow and give them better traction. Now that's hilarious

Still remembering my old BMW with diff.lock.... That thing was a blast in the snowy roads

I still got 17inch race tires with 20mm spikes, Only need a car where to put those
