I know you folks up north gonna laugh 
but it's cold here in Atlanta 25 now, high 33 today, talking snow at the end of the week, now that's a reality call to someone that spent the last 10 day's at the BEACH. Thought some cold aircraft might be in order

Neat! It was -12C (10F) here today with a windchill around -20C (-4F). Not really cold, but cold enough for those who have to work outside (ie: ME!).
Here's another 'cold' pic:
Harvard 4 20242 C-FWPK waiting for hangar space. December 20, 2008.
don't worry, she wasn't outside for the whole winter...
