Clean car and cold as hell...........

Cleaned up the Vette for a nice Sunday ride 59 degrees and also getting it ready for some cold weather ahead. Hopefully it won't last long, but dang the weather is not nice. Hopefully the forecast is correct for next week back in the mid 40s low 50s.

19* in Northern Maryland at the moment. The Z is clean but it's not going anywhere for awhile.

They salted the roads recently.

How many days till spring?

I took advantage of the nice weather on Saturday by driving to Gettysburg for the day. Now it's all cleaned up waiting for more spring like days.

Cold?? Ha!
Negative -12°f here.

And the roads are finely spread with a pretty mix of sand/salt topping.

I'm sure you didn't mean -25 degrees. That would be a record for NC for sure. UNLESS, it was displayed on your OEM NAV UNIT, then of course we would know it's correct...
