Oh NO! First snowflakes

I just looked out the window and saw the first snowflakes of the year. It's the beginning of the end!

Take a pre-winter road trip to the South where you can ride year round!. I've been on the road Thanksgiving with the top off....

Snow's pretty but not Vette friendly....

Seems awful early for snowflakes. Guess we'll get ours before you know it, but right now, it's fantastic outside.

Is the Vette really THAT BAD in the snow? I only ask, because based on what I've seen on this forum I'm seriously considering getting a used A4 quattro or Jeep Cherokee.

I have Conti DWS' on the car and although last winter was really bad, it's certainly not the norm.

Winter woe's

Yeah, It's going to dip to 48 degrees here in SE Pennsylvania. I washed the Corvette last week, and their calling for a warm up this weekend so I can squeeze in a wax job before the real winter sets in. Kinda early this year. Usually we don't get any snow till the middle of December, but last year we got dumbed on. But the forecast is for a lighter snow season. I hate snow, I got a nice little DD, but I hate to hang up the corvette keys for 2010. You guys in florida, I got a VooDoo doll all ready for you !
