Pete,

Last years final drive was a 22°F New Years day drive.  I had the car out
for about an hour and had a blast.  I did wimp out though.  I had the
tonneau up on the passenger side. ;-)

This years last drive was a jaunt in a very fresh 3-4 inches of unplowed,
unsalted snow, just below freezing.

BTW - the hood only goes up for rain, and that one time my wife and I took
the TR3 out for dinner on a Saturday night, when it was in the low 30F's.
Concessions we make to keep the spouse happy.
