Suffering from winter withdrawal!!
#41
I have drilled through almost three feet of ice but we live farther south than International falls. I could see ice getting that thick up there.

Ski resorts around here are loving it! Last year was their worst year on record. As far as the 'vette goes it stay until the roads are no longer white from all the salt.

You should have enjoyed it more before Nov, which up here the snow (what little we've gotten this year) didn't fly until XMAS!
I bought my car beginning of Sept & have 4200 on it now, with only one trip to MD on it.
Oh, & I live in MA.

I drove my car 162 miles home a few weeks ago after purchasing her. That is all I have driven the car. Spring needs to come soon here in the Midwest. Today it is about 8 degrees out.

We have been lucky, again this year in south central PA. There have only been two weekends that I couldn't use it because of snow and salt. We had a salt storm last weekend than a cold front brought heavy rain and washed the roads, thankfully. Had mine out today, at 23 degrees you drive the car like a Buick.

Have been in your area for the last 2 weeks (Rockford ILL) on business, the cold spell here is awful, especially with the wind chill, I don't think the vette would survive a trip around the block. Not exactly warm in CT where I am from but much better on average than what you have been experiencing. Can't wait till March!!!

it's been two months for me now and getting tougher ever since I read about the mod to the exhaust to make it louder - really itching to try that out...

Got my 13 NRB November 17th..... NE Ohio.... Got 2K miles on it already. It goes in salt and slush, does not go out in accumulating snow. Got it to drive. Each to their own but life it too short.

I have covered and I uncovered mine at least four times since December. Cover off right now. Got two days of joy riding...albeit a blustery 25 degrees. I figure avoid the ice and salt and have at it. I got mine in sept. a 2006 with 7K miles. She now has 14840 and climbing. I ride ANY chance I get and I live in NJ.

In the 20's (single digits wind chill)and flurrying the last couple days here in STLouis--- didn't feel like waiting til March or April, so out we went. Only got a little slippery once, and that was just me testing if it was icy or not.
Agreed. I'm just a few hours south and it was close to 70, but so humid it might as well have been raining. Garage floor was soaked, streets were a mess, etc. I was off the next day and it was 60 degrees, but it actually DID rain. Of course, today it was Sunny---- and 21 degrees, and I'm back to work.

Brought home my new Cyber Grey 427 on Tuesday
On Tuesday it was 60 F degrees out. Tonight, Saturday it is currently snowing and 16 F degrees in Southern MD. That sucks. I only drove the car home from the dealership. I did have some guys come to the house this morning to install 3M Clear Bra. It was 22F outside when they showed up at 0800 hours. Oh well the Vette looks awesome in the garage. Sure would like to drive it fast. Oh well less than 50 days to
Spring.
Spring.

Rained a few days ago and all the salt/snow washed away. I could not resist and took the car to work today. Roads are cold but it was still nice to stretch the legs a bit. High of 42 degrees today.
