Bot I tell ya ... Beautiful day had the targa top off the vette and working on the interior then moved to waxing my Camaro.
But don't worry guys ... this was a blizzard as we call it. one december day. So yes it snow periodically and I hate it. Grew up in northern Minnesota so can relate to ur cold days and tons of snow.

I remember leaving that state when I was 13 and watching the snow disappear as we headed to California. Can't say I ever got used to the 110 degree days out here but that is far better then freezing and cutting wood, shoveling driveway.

The darn thing fizzled out before it got here - we got maybe 4-5 inches, no wind, just an overnight snow and gone. Not that I'm complaining - thanks to those of you who took more than your fair share of snow so we would not have to deal with it!
Punxsutawney Phil must have played to a smaller crowd, I'm betting the locals are pretty put out at the weather. For those who may not know, the event is like a mini Mardi Gras - people come from all over, there is much revelry and consumption of adult beverages, etc. It's got to be a big shot in the arm for their local economy but I'm betting it was a bit smaller this year.
No groundhog shadow - may be getting the Vette out sooner than normal!

We actually closed our business. All county roads are closed, only major thruways and streets are open. So I am going to do nothing but eat and watch tv. Already did the outside work so time to relax for a few.
