I don't really put mine away, I try to drive it as much as I can unless there is salt on the roads.
I am hopeful too that we will not get any snow. I worked on my snowblower and changed the belts and relocated the pulleys so it does not throw the belts. It is a tractor mount 48" blower, and it really chews through the snow. It will throw it clear over the roof of my garage. Now that it is working right I am hopeful that it has scared off the snow for at least a year or two.

Never done it before. -- This is my first year as a Vette owner. It may be the last year that I store it away, but there's this little problem of owning 4 cars and having only a 2 car garage. I'd love to have a garage where I can try out mods during the winter, but alas I don't have the infrastructure.

It actually rained here in SoCal last night and today....
I had to drive my wife's Camry this morning, cause the streets were wet.
That's just not right............
But, then the sun came out, and by 2pm; I was able to drive my C5 to golf course on dry clean roads.
Oh, crap.... I can't believe I just said that.

Woke up this morning at 4am. It was in the 60's. Took a drive to Tucson for a car show. By the afternoon it was in the 80's. Even got a sunburn. This is the time of year I get mine back out more often. Sorry you have to deal with the white stuff, but I love this time of year.
Arizona best state.

All the snowbirds are arriving from the Midwest . . .roads are crowded, freeways are slower and restaurants are packed at 5pm ! I guess it beats shoveling snow.

Snowing here, now... my baby is at the doctor getting the harmonic balancer replaced and addressing a very nasty power steering fluid hemorrhage. Glad it's going to warm up this week so I can get her home... @#$%ing winter!!!

FWIW, I live in the "snow belt", along the shore of Lake Ontario, and although it was a little cold the last few days, and snow flurries were predicted for yesterday, nothing happened yet. In all reality, it's still a week or two early, for snow here.
But when it comes.....
