Default Happy New Year!

No one has started a thread so here I am. Best Wishes from Canada to C3 people around the world. Pic is yesterday; temp was 9*F.



I await a return to this weather in 2013. That birch tree overhanging the car was removed in October 2012.

It could be worse...and may indeed be as winter proceeds. The pic is from the past. At some point there is nowhere left in reach to throw the white stuff.

BTW, I have enjoyed your restoration thread very much. Not having much mechanical talent I rarely contribute, however. Do you plan on driving in 2013?

Strangely I can't see winter without snow. Several years ago we had a green Christmas and it was a terrible disappointment. But as time passes the snow gets heavier; or perhaps it is the shovel .

The morning broke with brilliant sunshine and 10*F. Perhaps a sign that 2013 will be a little brighter than 2012. Although the world economic scene is a wee bit of a mess.
