Been in east TN since I retired from the Navy. Had to move from Jacksonville FL to TN as I needed hilly roads with lots of curves from my Motorcycle addiction
This is the worst winter I have seen here since 2001 when I move here.

This winter is so bad the last weekend I could only drive my Corvette in my driveway. It is so bad that when I take pictures snow shows in the background. This picture was taken on a good day. One of the few that we have had. See the snow in the background. See the salt on the driveway from my daily driver that sets in my driveway.

I'm with you. I started it just to hear it running, pulled it out on the apron for a few minutes to let it idle and warm up, then pulled it back in the garage and put the cover back on it.
I really hate winter.

Speak for yourself. I would trade 4-5 months of sh!tty weather for flat roads in an instant. Right out my garage is some of the finest roads a car enthusiast can find (Frederick, MD) but I would gladly trade it in a heart beat for 24/7 60+ degree weather year round. We have a place just outside of Sarasota, FL that we go to a few weeks out of the winter but still that isn't enough for me. I 100% ******* hate winter but unfortunately am not in a position yet where I can be in FL 6 months and MD the other 6.

My car arrived at the dealership Wednesday and was going to pick it up tomorrow. Now they're forecasting a small blizzard in Chicago tomorrow morning!!
Looks like I'll be waiting until next Saturday as my work schedule doesn't allow picking it up next week. If the anticipation doesn't kill me first.
Worst winter in WI I can ever remember. Don't think we've gone more than a day or two up here without snow!

Tell me about it bruther. Im in houston tx and its been ***** cold here too, this winter has been very unforgiving. I moved here from the bay area (northern Cali) to escape the cold and now it found me here lol. Look at it like this, you are going to enjoy your baby that much more, and will have summer/spring around the corner to look forward to. Hang in there my man, Ur right at the finish line

I have to agree that Sarasota is a very nice area. My daughter was married at The Longboat Key Club and we had a great time. But as previously stated there are no hills...awesome trees and real grass like we have up north. I hate sand and heat/humidity so the north is perfect for me. I do think about my GS in storage but mostly when reading this forum...otherwise I have winter stuff to do...Tomorrow our snowmobile club meeting is at 11am and we NEED more snow...Anyone with a Vette loves acceleration and handling...well snowmobiling is a sport you would really enjoy with an additional benefit of some super scenery and wildlife

I think you guys need to stop complaining. You don't even know what winter is like where you guys live. Heck, one day last week our high temperature for the day was minus 16 degrees (F) below zero with a low of -26 !! This snow ain't going to melt until May the way this winter is going.
