Default It's Melting :-)

For 3 weeks now, we have beed covered by a big white blanket and temps to -20. No vette, no golf
It's been above freezing for a couple of days now and the roads are clearing up. I have a week left on my insurance and tomorrow calls for mostly sunny and a balmy 7*.
Can't wait to get the vette rush back into the blood stream.

But tomorrow will be good for the last blast in the vette.

pretty much, if i want to see snow i have to either travel to the otherside of the country... and climb a mountain... or, go overseas.
Perth has the same climate classification as LA... 1 of only 3 in the world
