Here in north Mississippi it was almost 70° and sunny middle part of the week, we got a little over 2" of snow yesterday, and woke up to 12° this morning.

We've had 53 inches of snow so far this winter. This morning it was -22F . Now I am planning a week in Miami and the Keys next month to help get through the rest of the winter.

Guess I've been in Texas too long, had some things that needed to be done outside, froze my cajones off! I still suspect you had something to do with all that, you know, warm weather envy and all ! You take care!

This has been the strangest Jan. I can remember for a long time. I kinda glad I have not started working on my Vette. Next week is going to be in the 40's with some rain (road wash) then the weekend is going to be in the 50's starting Fri. Might be calling State Farm !!!

I was lucky to be able to get my vette out for a drive a few days ago. Ran it for about 40 minutes. Could have driven it today also but did not. Weather has been up and down. Yesterday 66 and an inch of rain today sunny and 35. Had to get it out, so i was able to charge it up a bit. Started right up after sitting from the middle of November. The older i get the worse the winters are for me. Hate the snow.
From a few weeks ago, not much but to much for me

There is a silver lining for you. I remember many moons ago when I lived in Johnstown PA and had a '59 C1. I too had to put the vette away for a few months in winter. But when the weather finally broke, i was so glad what I owned and enjoyed it even more!

Why? Every spring i unwrap this present to me and I get this new car, it's exactly what I want, it's great to drive, you can feel the power! I can turn back the clock every time I sit in it. It's beautiful thing and feeling. Nothing like it. Break out the classic rock and I'm gone. And it's paid for!!!!!
