Back on the Tender
Just watched the salt truck go through, God I hate March in the Northeast. Warm, cold, rain, cold, freeze, sleet, warm, flooding rains, freeze, salt, warm, cold. There's always
April.

They just love to salt the roads. Here at Manheim, Pa. they just put a little salt at some intersections. You can drive and miss these areas. They are predicting more rain later this week, hopefully should wash the salt away.

I hear ya, we got that same Crap here in IL this past weekend, although they don't have appeared to have thrown more salt for some reason which is great.March is the toughest month cuz it does start to warm up, it rains but then snows again and goes back and forth and you get spring fever.

yep... this is the TEASER month for sure! Yesterday at noon it was 54 degs and this morning 22 degs with snow and ice! The salt trucks were out in full force with their load of chemical soup. That crap must do wonders for the underground water supply? NOT! If people had HALF brain it wouldn't be necessary to salt down to the pavement but it is.. what it is! Keeping mine plugged in until I'm sure we're going to have some decent driving weather....

I remember many a first day of trout season in PA, which is the second Saturday in April, standing in snow squalls and low 30 degree temps. I don't care so much about the cold, it's the crap they put on the roads that drives me crazy. We get some rain and about two weeks without any type of frozen precip and the roads just get clear enough to take the vette out and then bam, sleet or freezing rain.

I do not miss the BOS weather and enjoy driving the Corvette 12 months a year rather than looking at it for 5 months in the garage in BOS.
Have already had several topdown days with the new GS.
