C6 not going anywhere for a while......
It has been snowing here for 2 days and no end in sight. More than a foot at my house. The plow has been by 3 times already. Oh well. Good thing I have an SS Silverado AWD. To bad I am not a big mod guy, now would be a good time.

I think we switched weather. Just looked at the Weather channel, snow through Sunday.

But Reno's summers are almost worth this crap. Although short they are absolutely gorgeous. Clear, warm, dry days that cool off wonderfully at night. And if it gets too hot, take one of many beautifully twisty roads out of town and in 15 minutes you are up in the cool mountains, and Tahoe is just one of many places up in those mountains.
But summer is a long way off, and the snow shovel has been my tool of choice for the last few hours.

I know the feeling. Mine has been relegated to the garage because here in NJ we got a little snow last week but they went overboard salting and sanding the roads. The snow is now gone but the roads are still all white with salt and I'm not driving mine in that crap!!

Went out this morning to 2 feet with drifts up to 5. I never realized how big my driveway really is. Been shoveling for over 3 hours. The roads are not C6 friendly at the moment. The center divider has about 4 feet of wet nasty from the plow.
