Default Rain day

It's raining pretty good right now, and may continue on into tomorrow. Sure easier to shovel than snow. It's going to wash all the salt off of the roads, and the forecast looks to be above average for a lot of the next 2 weeks. This would be the earliest I've woken up the Vette, by a month. The fact is, this has been a really easy winter for us. Above average temps right into the middle of January, and then a bit of cold, but nothing like it could have been. Not that much snow either - 2 dumps of maybe 18" total, and it's melting fast. The cool temps won't be a problem at all for the A/S3+ rubber. Good times ahead!

I'm in Buffalo, NY - not too far from you. It has been a pretty average winter here, though we recently got some good snow fall. Last year, I took my Vette out of storage on March 14th. We still have a good amount of snow on the ground, so I'll need to wait for most of that to melt, and then hopefully we get a good rainfall to wash away the salt. I'm hoping to have mine out in mid-March again, which is still pretty early!
