3 Northeasters in the last 2 weeks here on Cape Cod. Been on generator for most of it. Using the snow plow and chain saw more than the Vettes. Spring's coming though. Keep the faith.
I bought mine the Thursday before christmas last year so its not gotten much sleep. We've gotten some pretty nice days so I've had it out a fair amount. Had it out with more salt than i would like but its a car, not an ice cream cone. Drive em... they really arent that fun sitting in the garage.
Made it home safe and sound..put 320 miles of smiles on the Z in her first day out of winter storage. Is it wrong that I exited at several off ramps just to reenter the interstate and work through the gears as I merged into traffic at speed? 😏 She had a good workout!
Potholes and salt here in NE Pa have prevented me from getting the vette out. I have driven it around the development a couple of times in the last month but not on the open road. Hope the roads get fixed soon but I don't hold out much hope before mid-April.
A few weeks ago I got mine out..... to the end of the end of the driveway, turned around, and pulled it back in the garage to start working on the car. Two hours later the driveway was covered again.
We're working on 200" this year!
My mom couldn't wait and took her 14' Mustang GT/CS out for a quick spin....and slid off the road on an onramp. My brother and I had to explain that her tires weren't meant to be driven in temperatures under 40 degrees let alone the tiny patch of ice she hit Luckily no mustangs were harmed in the making of that story. Not even a scratch but it did have to be extracted from the snow on the side of the road.
... then my brother and I made countless "cars and coffee" mustang jokes to each other.....
It's cool here in the burbs near Cleveland Oh. Took it around the block last month but wanting spring spring rain to come and wash away all the salt that has been put on the roads. Ordered parts last month waiting for them to get here so that I can install and take it and have it detailed.
I took mine out 3 times in February, all days over 50, but, we've had 3 (soon to be 4) Nor'easters in the last 3 weeks (about 20+" of snow total). With "Opening Day" a little over 2 weeks away, let's hope convertible weather won't be far behind!
Fortunately, there hasn't been any fresh snow in my area, for about a week. However, we had quite a bit, two weeks ago, and it's still been pretty cold, so the snow hasn't melted yet. What that means, UNFORTUNATELY, is all the snow that the plows have pushed to the sides of the road, still hasn't melted into the street, and mixed with the residual salt that's still there, causing a wet, salt laden mess, for a few days. And then, we still need to see some rain, to wash that mess away....
Roads here are horrible. No snow, still tons of salt. Pot holes are terrible and gravel from the holes cover the roads. All in all not the best for pulling the car out. One of the worst seasons in a long time. Had her out once since October.
I'm thinking of putting a hit out on that frigging groundhog Everytime I look under the car cover, it snows! Decided I'm not even going to look again until the 1st of April. Maybe that'll work.
Just got off the phone with my cousin, in Edison, NJ. She said it started snowing there, 2-3 hours ago. The prediction is 10-12". Her husband works for the power company, and he's organizing the emergency crews, in anticipation of downed wires and poles. Crews are coming in from out of state.....
Mine still hasn't been out and from the looks of things it's not going anywhere in the near future...Another Nor'Easter heading my way. Forecasting 6" to 10" of snow in the central New Jersey area by the time it's over late Wednesday night...
This is the 4th Nor'Easter we had in the month of March and the month isn't over yet.
