Winter Wonderland?
Last night we had the second-heaviest 24-hour snowfall total in city history...14"-19" depending on where you measure in my yard. The interstate and major federal highways in the area are shut down, businesses are closed, and the University of Missouri has called off classes for only the third or fourth time in 167 years.

No snow in Houston, but dipped below freezing. It was cold enough this morning that the choke never warmed up enough in 20 miles to drop all the way to the lowest idle cam.
I also found an air leak under the windshield - and up to now I thought I just had good flow through ventilation

Just shy of eight inches in western Chicagoland this morning. Hopefully, it will melt within a few days. But the BlueL36 still stays wrapped up for a winter's rest.

I think Matt got home before I did last night. That pile on the Jeep's roof is only what formed after the body cooled off...and i got home around 8:30 pm.

Batman - that doesn't seem like much snow for MO. Doesn't it snow much there? I would have thought this was nothing for you guys...

Yeah, I was home before the snow started, but I was up early playing in it...http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1563261
I got paid $20 by a stranger walking down the street for a lift to his job.

We got about 2 inches of ice and 2 to 6 inches of snow on top of that, south of you. Lots of power outages by 7am yesterday (thursday) morning. And the great city of Springfield didn't close schools. Even with several of the school having no electricity. They let them out a bit early, tho, and no school today. Front page apology from the Super of schools in today's paper. The colleges are all closed as well. It's bright and sunny now but still very cold.
