Wow it’s cold out there.
This is my fault— I took the convertible out of the garage on Friday after a beautiful day on Thursday. Saturday was equally nice so we tooled around and decided to take a look at the new version of the Miata, they now call them the MX-5— after a visit to the dealership we told them we’d sleep on it.
Sunday we decided to go to the MFA to check out some of their exhibits and sure enough the check engine light came on in the old Miata. I took it as a sign and traded it in on Monday. We got a good price for a 20 year old car and was able to enjoy one nice day of weather with the new one.
Now honestly I do think we could drive this with the top down in chilly weather because the heated seats and the heating system itself does a really good job.
But I said chilly weather.
Today, Thursday, I decided I’d take the dog for a ride in it— he likes riding in cars, I’d grab some milk and groceries from S&S Farms and then take him for his walk. I did not know it was frigid out. I took the MX-5 but with the top up thank you- but this snap of Spring Time Cold weather got me thinking we have various degrees of cold here in New England';
CHILLY- probably 40-50 degrees. Depending on the season you’ll need a jacket and maybe gloves.
COLD- probably 30-40 degrees. Ditto seasonal issue, but now you need a coat and no maybe about gloves.
REALLY COLD- 20-30 degrees. Where’s my hat?
FRIGID- 10-20 degrees— it cuts right through you like you are out there in natures own.
Also a factor, beyond season, is WIND— today the temp was 35 but the wind was fierce bringing the feel down to FRIGID.
My fault, should have kept the car in the garage.
