No mention of all about any possibility of snow here yet. Not bothering me in the least. But at some point we'll have to pay our dues and winter will show up.

It's been 75-82 here the last week, and that's 15-20 degrees hotter than usual. Not complaining though.

I drive my vette almost everyday. A great pro for not putting it in storage. Still, something about the weather feels wrong.

Same weather here --
but there's something unnatural raking leaves and sweating while wearing a t-shirt on Dec. 16th.

But it's still top-down weather.

I'm absolutely shocked, that those of us in the "snow belt" haven't gotten any real snow yet. About 3 weeks ago, we got a little (about a quarter inch), and the road crews spread a bunch of salt, so I parked the 'Vette , took the insurance off and put the "winter storage wheels/tires" on it.

Two days later, we got a downpour of rain, which washed the roads down, and it hasn't snowed again....yet. So, I could have still driven the 'Vette, had I known how little snow there turned out to be.

Last December was similar with very little snow here in Boston...but most everybody knows about the Hell Fury that came in Jan/Feb....I lost a month of C5 driving twice now and I just decided that next year she's staying out till New Year's. Saw a C4 and a C7 tonight....argh..
