Central Pennsylvania sucks! The mileage is since October 31!

Haven't driven mine since the last Saturday in January. What a bummer and we got another 4" today.

Well, I live a long dead end road, the county usually does not plow or salt. Last 14 days, only 4 of them could you get out with out 4x4. Not due to the depth of the snow, but due to the big hills, and hills with curves. In the several miles from the main road to my house on the last snow day, Wednesday I counted 4 4x4's that slid of the road.

That said, this is the hardest winter I can remember here, move here in 2001. Usually have several days a month in the winter with clean roads and over 45 weather.

I got to drive it yesterday. Looks like I have a few more days with no snow now, and above 45 weather.

Recieved my Z06 C7 12/23 have 100 miles on it, Was able to go to car show at Lambo dealer late December. Have not started car since, sitting in garage under cover. So much salt and sand on roads it will be late April till I take car out. Had to take cover off the other day just so I could see it. This Sucks!!!!!

It's a new month! Closer to spring. Once I get past Wednesday, it's sunny and 50's for the next 7 days! Looks like I'll be driving this weekend!

Where I live no driving in the months of November-March normally but got lucky and was able to drive new Z06 home on 12/6/14.
Used to it I guess.
Around here we say we have 11 months of Winter and one month of bad sledding.

I drove my last Dec 8th of last year and then moved it only about 60 feet from a storage area to a trailer to my home do to snow in late December. I travel the US and Canada and I see areas with no snow and warm days and then it happens a Vette goes by and I start wishing about getting my car back out.

2014 C7 Driven Zero miles since December

Unfortunately, the state inspection on my 2005 was due in February. I waited too long for some decent weather and watched as the outside temp went from 36 degrees in the garage to -1. Now I have nice white scallops from each wheel well and the back is all white.

and oh joy we have more snow on the way tomorrow
