Default "Corvette Season" is over...

I woke up to this, today. It came in rather suddenly, although predicted a couple of days ago. Bitter cold, and quite breezy, but as of yet, the salt trucks haven't hit the roads, so maybe if the weather prediction is correct, again, and it warms up next week, I might get in one more ride before it's off the road for good.

I do not miss that at all or what's soon to follow.
Reaffirms my decision to move to SW Florida 4 years ago.

Coldest early November in over 100 years here in Kelowna BC! We got snow a week ago! Good thing I put the van on the road 2 weeks ago...

Just washed mine to take it out this weekend. Every day here is vette weather, one of the few perks of living in the People's Republik of Kaliforniastan

Corvette season never ends here in Arizona Now begins the season where I can take the targa top off and enjoy the pleasant "winter" weather. It should be in the low 80's today.

Here in Northeast Ohio, I drove mine yesterday with temp in mid-40s. Right now I'm looking out my window and it's snowing

Corvette season here is mid-April until mid-November.

I'm a few miles from the Bills stadium in Orchard Park. Put my cars away 2 weeks ago. Snow melt or not - I'm afraid of them getting trigger happy with the salt. Once it's getting into the upper 40's low 50's, I'm done for the year. They come back out when we've had 2 weeks of rain w/no snow - wash away the salt.

I put my 02 away a few weeks ago and my 99 days are limited. It's currently 24 degrees. Snow is expected this weekend and they put brine on the roads for the first time yesterday

Had the wife's C5 out for an inspection sticker today here in the Boston area. I hear there was some snow north and possibly west of us but still good here along the coast.
