Default Snow!!!

Well we will be getting our first taste of snow for the year up here in the great white north. It won't stick but it is a sign of things to come. My "Corvette" days are numbered. Storage time will be coming soon!

Swearing is frowned upon in the forum. 60 years of that crap was enough. I can deal with the Florida a LOT better than that. Blech....

I'd like to get 2 more weekends fit for cruising, then winterize and head south. Tough to predict the weather this time of year, but the plane leaves on the 30th!

Thankfully no snow in the forecast for quite a while here, but we know it will get here eventually. Got to take advantage of the good days while we can for car cruising.

No sweat here on the west coast. Got a little wind and one band of rain but pretty much a no-op on this side. And thankfully, so far, it's staying just off of the east coast. 25 miles west would have been devastation on the coast.

I really don't mind not driving it for a few months (more like 6) I drive mine many more miles than a lot do that can drive all year round. Winter in my nice warm garage is the time I use to fix or add things to make the car better or my own !!!!
