Default Winter

Just doesn't want to quit here in the North East. Today in the 20's with 40 mile an hour wind gusts makes it feel below 0. Possibly more snow Friday and we already broke the snow record.

If you think its bad now, wait until the glaciers start pushing Boston into the ocean.

We are scheduled for a return to an ice age, no matter what some people say....

I took the 61 and the 68 out today. It was the first time since January. Lots of snow on the sides of the road but the roads were clear and dry with no melting. It's about 29 degrees. It sure felt good to drive them

I'm in Springfield, ran my 68 New Yorker 440 yesterday 25 miles, felt good to be in any old car after a winter in a sequoia. but now she's covered in salt, too cold today to wash, Corvette has to wait a good while before it sees roads out here.

Calling for another 1 to 3" tonight in south central PA. That will give PENNDOT an excuse to scatter some more anti skid and salt all over the roads. Don't know how much more I can take. Would love to sell the farm and head to the South West. Maybe AZ.

Well, I started my Vette up today, backed out of the garage and dusted it off. It started right up with no problems and ran perfectly. I was only able to go back and forth, up and down the driveway. The damn roads around here are still salty and my road is muddy too. And now.... They're calling for snow tomorrow night. Ugh!!!! Probably have to wait till April or May to get it on the road. I was so close today to just say, screw it, and go for it. But, I couldn't bring myself to do it. It's nice and clean and couldn't bare putting it away all messed up. If I didn't love where I lived so much, I'd move in a heartbeat. Such a complex problem.

Default Nice ride

Took my 65 coupe out to lunch and drove about 50 miles.
Took my 57 FI car to Indy (in a trailer) and left it on consignment at Gateway Classic Cars.
Drove my 62 on a short ride , backed it in the garage and started the process of removing the Hilborn and installing the 340 HP intake and carb.
Nice weather with a little rain tonight

GOODBY WINTER.

Well here on Staten Island the snow is already falling since this morning.
I am glad I didn't put my snow blower away.
