Had the top down tonight coming home around 10PM. I wore a jacket, it
wasn't cold enough to really need it but it was more comfortable with
it than without.

First time I've worn a jacket since ????

Just checked the temperature, it was below 80F, too cold to support
human life! Damn, I'm going to miss the nice, comfortable 100+
days....

Here too. I'm going to miss the nice comfortable 50+ days.

Heck, we've already had snow three times.

I've been wearing a jacket and running the heat with the top down for
about two weeks; people in other convertibles are just driving around
with their tops up. It's been in the 40's.

This week we've had it warm back up to normal (mid-60's daytime temps,
low to mid-40's evening) and so I've left the Miata at home and ridden
the bikes.

Tim - suspect I will rdrive the Miata with the top down through the
winter. After all, I do have electrically heated clothing!

What overheated hell-hole do you live in again? My overheated hell-hole
is Lutz, Florida. It's still too hot here and the humidity is always
appalling, but I have hope for the near-future as the temps have
declined quite a bit from the torturous misery of August. Lovely
December, January, February are in sight. O the cool salt breeze
sweeping in across the beaches.

While y'all Yankees button up your tops and prepare to frolic in the
snow, we're just now getting to top-down weather.

Phoenix, AZ, not an overheated hell-hole, an area of perfect weather
except when winter comes and we have to deal with sub-80s temperatures.

In this part of Scotland, UK, we have had 60mm of rain a day for the
last couple of days. I put the top down to let some of the water out!
