This sucks
Woke up to snow this morning. I guess it's time to put her to sleep for the winter months.
On a fun note- Now I can plan the winter mode list

It snowed a little here this morning. I'm glad I put my car away for the winter this past Tuesday. It's hard to believe that summer is gone and we're facing another winter.

Right there with you...rain is supposed to turn to snow this evening. Total POS day weather-wise. 
Feel bad for little ones trying to trick or treat tonight.
Holding out on putting the Vette into storage - looking for one more fall cruise. She probably goes into hibernation next weekend.

Thankfully we're not there yet; 47° my car told me this morning at 6:15AM. Our winters are usually worst Jan-Feb though. Hoping snow stays away for a bit, just got my car this year!

Drove to work top down today in 46 degree weather. Scheduled to go into mothballs Nov 15. Looking at some decent weather next week here in Massachusetts, so there's a little life left in the season. Sucky weekend coming up, though.

I'd drive it year round if not for snow, but the top stays up when the weather is below 60.
By the way- We have twin cars!!!

Same here. I try to avoid bad weather with my C5 Z06 if I can and I drive my Ram 4wd pickup if it is really rainy or snowy. They are calling for snow this weekend in the mountains and foothills so the Corvette stays in its nice, warm garage. Otherwise, I'd drive it. That's what I bought it for...Driving! Rapidly! Often!

We have a cold front coming in here tonight. The high tomorrow is 63 !
Then Sunday back to the high 70's. No rain and high 70's low 80's for the next ten days.
I don't know how you guys that hibernate your rides stand it. I would be a basket case after two weeks
My hats off to you guys

It's like getting a new car every spring. Make me appreciate the car that much more. I waited a long time to buy one, and don't mind not driving it in winter. Won't drive it top down when it's cold anyways.

No snow here yet and none in the forecast, but it is supposed to get down to 24* tonight. That's really cold for the end of October. Still hope to get a few more drives in the car before I put it away for the winter.
