It's that time of year in North Carolina. We had single digits temperatures and snow last week, then 60F on Sunday, followed by mid 20s and snow today. But spring will be here soon, probably next week.

Well nothing I could do about it. Still waiting on carport to arrive. But they seem to be taking their time getting here. All snow is off of it now, cranked it up put some heat on the motor and interior. Trust me I don't like it either.......

About the same here in Winston-Salem, they are forecasting more snow Wednesday night. We are going to need a good rain to get rid of the salt on the roads after this. Don't worry OP, corvettes will not melt like some people think.

I came by Winton Salem Wed afternoon coming from a little vacation to Gatlinburg TN. Weather was horrible on the drive heavy snow all the way to the other side of Raleigh. Stop in Mebane at Tanger to pick up some oakleys. I live about 45 mins from Wilmington NC.
