If you want to see snow, come on up to Syracuse, we've had just about 40" in the last WEEK. Blowing out my driveway is getting like a hobby these days, I'm ready for spring. I look at mine in the corner of my garage all covered up and plugged in, where it's been since mid-November and will likely stay until at least mid-April. Yes, winter does suck.

Here in jersey we've had about the same... I'm about to cancel my gym membership from all of the shoveling and snow blowing

We're at about 116" for the season right now, which is just below an average season for us, with about another 5 weeks of winter left. No shoveling for me, I've got a 36' wide by 122' long uphill driveway, so my ride is a Kubota GR2120 AWD diesel lawn tractor with a 48" snowblower, it goes thru anything Mother Nature throws at it. At least it makes winter a bit bearable.

Winter? What's that? It's still summer out here in SoCal. Major drought going on, but great driving weather! 91 degrees in Borrego Springs today.

Too bad we can't send you some of this snow, that would clear up the drought pretty quick, I'm thinking.

Its a little chilly here this morning about 65. It will warm up to the 80's this afternoon so it will be a perfect day for the car show I'll be in.

Problem? I'm having a super duper time with my snow...Rode our snowmobiles 72 miles Friday night and 142 miles yesterday. We were on 6 different snowmobile trail systems and enjoyed lunch at The Milestone with a lot of other sledders yesterday.

Corvette owners are used to powerful great handling machines. I would bet that many of you would get a big kick out of high performance sleds with a great HP to weight ratio...And you can be outside all day with the high performance gear and not be cold.

This sport makes the winters go a lot faster for me...

A bit of a chill in the air here in Miramar Beach Florida, but think I can still get my round of golf in...

I went for a drive yesterday but the snow and cold rain have definitely cut into my winter Corvette time.

I couldn't leave it sitting in the garage for 4 months. I would just sell it if I had to do that.

I picked up my new 2013 Grand Sport coupe on December 20. I put about 500 miles on including over 100 just to get it home. Now, I have had to just look at it for over a month. Really hoping to get it out towards the end of this coming week.

Yes the snow here has been crazy, we set all kinds of records. I havnt been able to get the car out for 3 days!!! (South of Charlotte NC, in SC). but I see the snow has melted from this weeks storm and all is right agin. I will be heading out in the car in a bit just to feel the sun in my face after such a long ,cold ,snowy spell.

What's that white stuff on the ground?

My 012 coupe stays outside all winter in an unheated, open-air carport.
