In the garage with its cover on. About 19" of snow outside in the driveway so far. It's about 6AM and I am having my coffee waiting for the storm to stop. It does not look like I will have the vette out any time soon.

I wouldn't keep it on stands. If you're worried about flat spots, put old tires on, but if it's just over winter your tires will be ok. If there was a fire in your garage you could roll the car out (or drive it out), on stands all you can do is grab popcorn and watch the show. JMO

I heard that Newport got 24"+ of snow. The Newport Bridge is closed, and the base will be closed tomorrow.

Kind of nice to be on travel in San Diego till next Sunday even if I do have to drive a Budget rentacar POS.
