Winter is a double edge for me I want it to be over because I just got my c5 in November and it started snowing in December.
On the other hand I do snowplowing on the side and it gives me extra money for toys.

I drive mine all winter long in Denver. People think we get a lot of snow. Only sometimes. Most of the time its nice and driveable.
Drove the vette day before yesterday. Took my 84 year old Mother for a drive. She loved it. The only drawback . . . the top was up. Have to wait for warmer days for that. Denver has the best convertible weather anywhere around.

I have not even seen my Vette since March 23, 2007! At least you have the pleasure of being able to see, touch, and admire your Vette in person.
Come the end of June I'll be driving my Vette with a huge smile on my face.

I don't see how you guys in inclement weather areas drive your Vettes at all during the winter unless it get unusually warm. I took the Vette out to get new tires and the cold tires handled like crap. I was slip sliding everywhere and the ground was dry. This was with the new and the old tires. It was unusually cold out and that contributed to the issues I was having. Needless to say, it was not fun to drive.
Broke out the ol' rust bucket after I got back home and all was well.

I went for a ride this morning. As long as the roads are dry, I'm ready to drive.
It was 22 degrees and the traction was iffy, but I had a blast rowing through the gears on Rt. 93!
