Default Winter Bed time

I washed the Vette and the motorcycle yesterday and put them to bed for the winter's nap. It was really nice here in SE Ohio yesterday; Sunny and 70 degrees.

It was sunny and 36 here in Idaho yesterday and I still haven't put mine to bed! It is supposed to snow this afternoon, so I will have to take a spin this morning!

I'm going to take mine out for a bit today, weather's still decent enough here. Might even take it out a few times this winter, depends I guess. I'd love to move out of the northeast, somewhere sunny and warm all year.

NW Ohio had a very mild winter last year. I drove her at least once a week through the winter when it was dry and above freezing. I'll keep her out until the snow flies.

I will drive mine during the winter when there is no rain, snow or salt. Kentucky winters are not too bad.
