Me too, but I'm at work now (lunch brake/forum time ) and it just started coming down. Don't think the vette will like the ice much, but the vararam will.......too bad though with it being slick out.

Hey Josh! Mine had some white polka-dots on it while driving from 21st Cent MC! (Got 3.90's installed.) It was comming down pretty good in your neighborhood.

Yeah... they are calling for a downpour here too.... of sunshine that is. So if the reflection is just right the top of my car also looks white

Sorry to hear that you all are getting snow. Vettes just don't do snow that well. I would be truly bummin' if I couldn't drive mine.

Hope your winter is short.

On and off sleet up here in Allen today. Nothing on the ground. A little slick and the power went off for a while. My wife is stuck in California trying to get back to this ?!? So this is winter, right? And spring starts on Thursday?

Mine had to sit out at work today also. Covered with ice. Sat in it for 20 min.with defrosters on before it was driveable. Only a 7 mile drive home and made it ok. Hard to believe we were sitting in 80 degree weather at the car show saturday!!

This is the first time I left the Coupe home (due to weather) and took my wifes MDX (limited AWD) in to work. Should be interesting when I leave here around 6pm. I am debating if I want to use all back roads to get home or 190.
