Well... karma always wins out... here I have been taunting my Northern Brethren for being snowed in and guess what.. Here in Arlington TX we have had the most snow since 1978.... 12 inches.

KARMA IT IS A *&)$#@....






Last time this much snow was here I was completing Training in the Air Force in San Antonio. Had completed Basic and Tech School and was sleeping in tents at Camp Bullis during Air Base Ground Defense training.

They would call that a "dusting" in the northeast right now

Ironically, we haven't gotten ANY of the dumpings you southerners have seen recently. Although fairly warm up here in northern New England (high 20s-low 30s), we have had very little snow in weeks! Hopefully this means we can get our Vettes out by early April...

I guess I better stop taunting you southerners about your hurricanes, alligators, fire ants, poisonous snakes, carpenter ants, high humidity, etc.

Thanks,Matt

We've had little to no accumulation of snow in Toronto this year..
Oddly enough they still salt the roads so I still can't drive my vette.

Maybe they should have had the Winter Olympics in Maryland this year! Good thing I have a Z71 for the winter months and off-road needs:

Won't be putting the Vette back into its bedroom anytime soon:

You know it's bad when ... the snow is piled twice as high as the Corvette:

Knock on wood,,so far we have been dodging the heavy stuff!! Not unusual that we can get hammered in the St. Louis area,,but so far big stuff has been splitting around us.Sometimes you get lucky,,,but winter is not over yet!! So far about 6" at one time has been the worst!! Weird that the south has been getting more than us!! Karma IS a bitch sometimes,,,so I ain't say'n nothing!!
