Hope the rest of you guys up here in NE are okay. Seems like one thing after another. Hurricanes, blizzards, I'm waiting for the locusts next. Just got done clearing 36 inches off my drive way, insane. I was supposed to be working on the vette today. Putting a plow on the truck next year. I drove home from work friday night and thought I was doomed. It was a crazy drive, thank god for F-150 4x4 in low. Good luck and I hope you are all with power and dug out.

Here in Worcester MA we got around 36", manditory driving ban for 24 hours. Had power the entire time and the beers flowed like water.

I'm in Worcester too, the drifts here are pretty damn high. Needless to say my Corvette is staying in the parking garage for now!

We drove through rain only today Indianapolis to Oshkosh. Not the vette. Glad everybody on the east coast is good . The people hit hard can't even post. Some 300,000 without power the last time I looked.

We haven't had power since Friday, electric co. says it could be Thursday until it's restored, staying with family tonight, 2 days of no heat or running water is enough for me. Stay safe everyone.

The East Cost buried in snow and the West Cost with a car show. Here in the middle no car shows but at least no snow and a good day for a drive.
Being buried in snow and no power is just a nightmare but glad you guys aren't stranded in a car somewhere.

Here on Barnegat Bay we only got 6" but the wind gusts were strong enough to flap my new shingles like eyelids. I knew I should have waited til spring to replace the roofing ripped off by Sandy.
