Default not more snow!

Weather in southern Connecticut has been really mild the last week or so..figured spring is on the way, thinking of dusting off the vette and taking a nice drive. I wake up this morning and it is snowing ..back to dreaming about my drive for at least another week or two..

I'm in Connecticut. Yesterday it was almost 70. Today it's snowing, the schools are closed and the Vette is back in the garage.

Snowing pretty good here on Cape Cod right now but it's supposed to turn to rain and hopefully wash it all away. Garage time sounds good though

Better the Northeast then here. We had 18 inches a few weeks ago. Most of it is gone now with the weather we had this past week. I will take 40's knowing warmer weather is around the corner.

It started snowing here a couple of hours ago, we're expecting about a foot of the white stuff . The snow that we had on the ground just melted away this week so much for seeing the grass.

Wednesday I washed the vette, took the roof off and went out for a ride. Now it's sitting in the garage topless. Today I'll be shoveling snow.

We need more global warming! Dino, what did you use for a plow mount and do they make one for a C4?

Haven't seen any snow around here for a ~4 years. We don't even need to use antifreeze down here. Been nice and sunny since the first of Feburary.
