Hey Vader,
Where are you? Clemson, S'burg., or Columbia? Snowing pretty good in S'burg right now. Got about an inch. If you come to S'burg Sunday, there's a cruise-in that afternoon. Or if you're here on the 10th we're having a club meeting. E-mail me if you want more info. :cheers:

Drove my Vette in the snow once, goes very well in the stuff!!

if your passing through columbia, SC on I 95 then dont stop there for the night!!!
Brother, if you're in Columbia, and you think you're on I-95, you got a problem already! I-20, I-77, or I-26 are your only choices.

Sorry to hear about the mishap. Those motels near the interstatea are notorious for this kind of stuff.

OBSnow: it's dumping on us here in Raleighwood. Looks like I'll be pulling a sled for the 5 year old and 19 month old tomorrow. SNOW DAY!!!!!

Well, did it really snow in SC?

If so, any in the Myrtle Beach Area? My Mom lives in Litchfield Beach...

Well the first wave is thru Atlanta with more on the way. I have a fat inch maybe two collected on my deck...grocery store shelves are empty, businesses and schools closed, reporters all over. I can hear my old yankee buddies rolling in laughter. :bb

Well, today we have about 4 inches on the ground with more to come. Trading in driving the vette for pulling a sled with kids and a dog. Going to try to rig a harness from sled to dog. Then they can play while I work on the vette!!! Actually, I love the snow and hope we get more later today. I think I'll leave the mud and snow tires on the vette on the dry pavement of my garage.

Regards,

Jim

We've got roughly 7 inches, expecting 1 to 3 more before day is out. I almost cried this morning when I looked out and saw my white vette and the neighbors softtail harley covered in snow. I'm going to go brush the vette off here in a moment.

At 9:00 AM we haved 8-1/2" here in Chester: just southeast of Richmond, and it still snowing. Its the dry snow so snowball making is very limited, it still fun playing in the snow instead of being at work.

Laugh it up while you can boys. We had around five inches fall overnight here in Atlanta, but it's already starting to melt. We will be back to the upper 60's in a week! :yesnod:

no snow here, its just super cold. Lots of ice around. It rained last night, then at about midnight the wind picked up off the ocean...had to be blowing 40+ MPH. I thought it was a tornado at some points it was so steady and strong, and it made the wistle. I didn't get any sleep because my vette is around back, and I had a fear the wind would blow it off the jack stands. In fact at one point I heard a loud bang and though "well better call insurance company tomarrow". But it turned out to be a door coming open with the wind. All in all it sucked. I'd rather it had droped 4 feet of snow then to do what it did...I was scared for my car. :jester

It should be 50's here soon again though...so I can finish my car up, get it off the stands, then get it around front where its safe.

Daniel

Yea, but they will have the streets in Buffalo cleared quicker than our streets with 6" in Charlotte, NC.

Just to finish off my topic, we ended up with about 6" here in Columbia.

Wow it was nice being out in the snow instead of at work.

Of coarse my baby is safely tucked away in my mom's garage.

Hmm....think I might reward her with a fresh coat of wax if it's nice this weekend. :yesnod:
