Winter in Wisconsin
Wednesday 55 degrees-Thursday 15 degrees and 6" of snow Friday noon 0 degrees.So I look out at the evergreens and I think they would make a good backdrop to old blue.So I back her up take a few pics and it takes me 4 tries to get her up the slight upgrade in the garage.Was it worth it?

Great picture and I love the color of your car.
We have managed to go the entire winter with about 1" of snow, which is unbelievable for northern Illinois. I'm sure we'll pay for it one of these days.

It was worth the time to take the pic. Great looking car and the snow makes for a great backdrop.

I just came in from shoveling about 2" of fluffy white stuff from our driveway. Fortunately, it's a very light snow.

Nice picture! Great backdrop!
One of the things I miss about living in the midwest was that Corvette season mirrored baseball season. I loved the excitement that built up towards spring. I found winters peaceful and relaxing, especially when there was a nice snow cover.
