Winter here, just about over....but!
Now that the Winter weather seems to have moderated here in Chester County, Pa., I'm about to wake up my C7 in the anticipation of Spring.
But hold on. Now it seems that the pot holes around here are significantly bigger and many more than usual as the roads thaw. I guess I'll put off venturing too far from home so not to hit one I'm not aware of in my travels.
What's it like in your area and your Spring C7 Plan?

Agreed, potholes a-plenty.....
With salt/snow still all around, no driving until some rain falls.
But the end of it all is in sight at least.

Hew Hampshire here....crater sized pot holes and still lots of melting snow...it's nice that it's melting but I really don't think I'll have the car out before maybe the middle of April. Sucks, I remember picking it up last March and there was no snow on the ground.

DC, Northern Virginia roads are still pretty bad. In my housing area you need a dune buggy to get to the main road there is so much sand on the roads. Pot holes are on all the main highways, I heard on the news they are repairing 1,500 Pot Holes a day in the Metro Area, and this has been going on since last weekend.
I will hold over the rest of March and most of April to take the car out of hibernation, just too much road crap. I don't know about other parts of the country, but down here when they drop sand on the road, they also drop small size pebbles or gravel that is mixed in with the sand and salt, and these same small pebbles fly up to your windscreen.
I have a new Encore that is the DD and already have a window star due to a flying pebble. Best to wait, especially with most of the traffic in this area.

Looks like our winter has run it's course. Yesterday was over cast and I ran into some light rain on my 70 mile drive home.
Brought the 93 in today just to keep the battery up. Just turned 50.000 miles.
Supposed to get into the mid 90's this week end. Yep . Winters gone.
