Default A "lot" of C7's covered in snow!

The NAM 12Z snowfall forecast shows 12-15 inches of snow coming soon to the Bowling Green area. The GFS 12Z shows 10-12 inches. That's a lot of snow on a "lot" of Stingrays and Z06s! Get the shovels ready!

It's not going to blow by Bowling Green, unfortunately. BG is going to get pounded with this one. But it will all melt eventually.

Jim, thanks for posting a "before" picture. It's going to look quite different tomorrow at this time!

My car is supposed to be built Tuesday and Wednesday. Now kind of hoping it gets delayed. I bet the plant closes a few days this week.

If the forecast comes true, that will be a major PITA for be BG area. Those in the path of that storm - stay safe.

I was supposed to pick up my car tomorrow 2/17 but moved it to Thursday. Now I don't know if I should pick it up then as the weather will be very cold. High of 19 or so. Then I don't know what the roads will be like then as well. Suggestions?

A member of our local Corvette Club just picked his new C7 up at Bowling Green a couple of days ago. Looks like he just got out of there in the nick of time...

Check the camera on Motor Park South. You cannot see the lanes on the freeway. Some traffic but not much.

The biggest problem, IMO, will be the temps especially Wednesday and Thursday. It won't get above freezing until Saturday so not much melting between now and then and if it does melt refreezing will be an issue.
