##$%^@!!!!! weather.......

We've had an incredibly mild winter this season, with a record LACK of snowfall. I was actually thinking of putting the 'Vette back on the road this week. However..................

We got 3" of snow overnight, the air temp is in the 20s, and the wind is gusting 20-30 MPH. This pattern is expected to remain in the area for another week.

The weather here in SC has been great... but the freaking tree pollen is so heavy you can't keep your car clean for a second. Not a big fan of the green tinted silver look.

Ha.. I live 5 miles from Fox Woods and Mohegan Sun!

I know ALL about the snow.

The GOLD STAR Bridge (I-95) NORTH & SOUTH was CLOSED this morning because the entire bridge iced up! Talk about a TRAFFIC JAM!

HA,,, Driving the JEEP home from work, I saw areas (mostly at intersections) where there was 2" of salt!!

Damn plow drivers don't turn their salters off when they stop.
