Yes we are right in the middle of it coming down. Already have about 8" and the heavy stuff is coming later.

lookin' at about 14-16" here in the WV panhandle. I guess vettes should be tucked in beforehand. Hey, it's only snow--fiberglass just doesn't rust.

Funny, we have the reputation for bad winter weather up here but this storm completely missed Toronto. It's 27F here, overcast and calm. Absolutely no snow. At least none yet.
Maybe we'll get lucky and completely dodge this one.

Well I'm honestly not rubbing it in here but it is sunny and 60 degrees for a change. Our winters here are mostly rainy and very humid. It could be in the 30's one day and near 80 the next.

Hey Bob,
If you did not get enough I will gladly give you some of mine. Just bring a shovel and a BIG truck to carry it home with.

Hi All,
Lot's of snow in Westminster.
Shoveled 3 times today, and I'm hoping 1 more time will do it! My old back can't take much more.
The Corvette didn't even bother to take a look from under the cover.
Regards,
Alan

Well, I can underestand why your so happy. I think I read Louisiana was #1 in the happiest states. PA was 41. NY finished last. I sholveled 2X, about 6 inches each time. Arms ache I'm feeling about 41 out of 100 in the happy graph.

I have shoveled snow for years. When I moved out of my parents house years ago my dad bought a snow blower. Thanks dad. I have struggled for years at my house with just a shovel. A few years ago I bought a used blower off ebay for about 100 bucks. It has paid for itself in just this snow. My back used to be sore for 2 days when shoveling. No more. It takes about 1/3 the time to clear the driveway. Almost fun to remove the snow now.

I'm in the Blizzard Warning area of Mass. Expecting 15+" of snow overnight. The Vette is in the garage so the only danger to it is from me working on it.
