Yes, he has. That's how we know that VR's real name is "Spot" (he changed it when he went all Hollywood on us).

You are SOOO going to love the heated seats!! My MINI Cooper has them. I didn't think much of it, until I tried it on a cool (not even cold) day. Oooooooo-la-la!!

I will, the first time you brake on ice with it. Used to have a Wagoneer and a full size Blazer. Those things accelerated beautifully but stopping them was panicky some times.

Not to be a stickler...

Hi,
I think its a wonderful topic to suggest. Not to be a 'stickler', but as a member of this community of readers and students of the written word, we should adhere ourselves to literal precision. In so doing, incidentally, meteorological phenomena would pertain to only those short term weather happenings we are unable to explain, which, as far as I humbly know, are non-existent. Now, I think you meant to imply climatological phenomena, which would include the grand-scale warming, cooling, wet, and dry trends that are abnormally affecting us and fueling, or, on the other hand, proving, the theory of man-made climate change. On that note, I have just moved four hundred miles north of my childhood residence, and really can't seem to get a good explanation of fifty degree weekly temperature swings, even when they're absent of fronts.

Too many people were slipping around on summer tires in blizzard conditions trying to get up steep hills. Good Winter tires would have worked too, that's what we had. When BC has a White Christmas it goes all out!

+(that means plus! P-L-U-S!) 14 degrees C, that´s 14 more than yesterday, and the sun´s shining. It feels like spring, no like summer! We will have lunch outside on our office´s terrace and I think I´ll go swimming with the kids this afternoon (indoor of yourse, just for the summer feeling ). Our ice bar in the garden is melting though...

Whee! The warm-up has hit! 20+ C for the next 7 days, with at least 10 C every night. Roll out the plants and start working in the yard during the afternoons....

My kind of winter weather....

We're going to be above 32 F for three days in a row! In fact, the low may be above 32 on one of those days! Joy!

I can't stop talking in exclamations!

Meteorological phenomena, of all sorts allowed, whether we can explain them or not......that is what is implied by the title......
Climatological phenomena gets kinda dragged in, as is usual with MobileRead...
