Tied a record at 82 yesterday and the temp has been falling ever since. I'ts in the low 40's today and rainy, what a nasty day. I did get the Vette out and up and down my street the other day after working on it all winter. With any luck I can catch a nice enough day to drive it around next week.

Glad you like it Rich.
I don't really like the outside temp over 70F.
Moreover, I'm so happy we are getting over 10"
of snow tonight/tomorrow. For me, playing in the
snow is so much more fun than playing in the sand.

To each his own ... I know I'm a minority in this respect.

SNOW

Normally,year around average is 76 F....with hot months being August/September...

Month Avg. High Avg. Low Avg. Precip.
January 68.0° F 42.0° F 2.47 in
February 69.0° F 44.0° F 2.57 in
March 70.0° F 46.0° F 2.66 in

I went out yesterday and rode my bike 25 miles and it was 68 degrees. Today we are getting snow, sleet and just general crap weather. Hopefully this is its last shot of winter.

LOL - said he already pulled the snow tires !!

Here are a few pics from this morning in lovely So NH/ No MA:

First, here is a vette that won't make it to antique status.
He couldn't even be bothered to push all the snow off his vette
before driving. 3 strikes: parked out in snow, snow left on vette, and
driving in the salty mess. But, hey, it's fiberglass and doesn't rust.



Here are a few of the beauty that snow brings:
1st: tree blocking road
2nd: my back yard/snowmobile
3rd: end of my street
