Default Is winter over???

Last year I took out the Vette the first weekend of April-No snow at all...

This year you should see the white BLEEP that's still on the ground

We just went through two snow storms this week and looks like we will get another one this Monday WHAT THE HELL?

is there any end in sight? 'Cause I'm itchin' to get my new exhaust system installed and hearing that baby scream for mercy

anyone else have their vette stored still?

Spring arrived a lot earlier last year for sure. Supposed to have rain mixed with snow today and next week all rain with temp around 50, blah. I really hope it starts to warm up, i'm about out of kerosene for the salamander and I still need to strip the vette once temp gets right.

spring and summer looks to have come and gone already. 3 weeks ago it was sunny and 80. 2 days ago we had a winter storm watch and got about 6 inches of snow.

I just left Cleveland this morning and it was 35. When I got back to Knoxville tonight it was 61 and raining hard. I am ready for it to get back to spring time again. A couple of weeks ago, I was on my motorcycle with short sleeves on. I wouldn't dare ride it now, way too cold for me.

I drove the vette to a friends wedding today. I'm glad I got it out. There is an inch of snow on the ground now. They will probably dump a bunch of salt on the roads so it will be a while before I can drive it again. There is no end in sight.....

Getting a bit tired of the white stuff myself. Started with a dusting of snow late yesterday afternoon that continued on and off 'til around midnight. Woke up to a light coat of snow on the ground. It's gone now and I saw one brave soul out with their C4.

Just drove 15 hours from sunny and warm St. Simon Island, Georgia back home to snowy and cold Buffalo, New York. It was not a fun drive. I did see a really nice orange vette on Rt 95 in South Carolina.

This weather has to change soon!!!!!!!

Al Gore says that the Earth has a fever (global warming).

Well, you all know right before your temp goes down, you get chills and sweat. That must be what all the cold air and rain are all about The Earth is takin a I'm ready for some sunshine
