Made it through January
Well, I made it through January and now wait for February to be over so maybe, just maybe I can bring the C7 out of hibernation. At my age, you should never wish for time to go by fast except when you have a corvette tucked away for winter. I pity the people further north today, because they are getting hit hard with snow. I can tell you for a fact that not being able to drive my C7 stingray makes cabin fever twice as bad. Looking forward to Buds Corvette Show coming May 9th. My wife and I always have a great time at the show meeting some wonderful people and enjoying warm weather.

Eastern Iowa. Been snowing now for 24 hours. Somewhere between 12 and 15 inches have fallen. 30 mph north wind. Had the snowblower out twice today - trying to decide whether to go out again tonight or wait until the morning. If it isn't 4WD or AWD it isn't moving this evening.
We're at the beginning of the storm here, one of the forecasts calls for almost 16 inches of snow to fall over the next 12 hours! That rarely happens here, in fact I don't think we've gotten that much snow in the past two months combined!
I figure February is a write off, I won't have the chance to take my Vette out at all, hopefully March will bring a lot of rain for the first few days to melt all the snow and wash away the road salt.

I do not have a C7 in my garage, but I know how you feel. Getting antsy to be able to get my C5 out again.

I live in Colorado and drive mine year round. Of course, while we get snow, we also average 300 days per year of sunshine and dry roads. Retiring to Florida in a few years; no way we're retiring where it's cold and has a tiny chance of snow. I don't envy you guys in serious snow country.
I'm guessing that no Corvette owner on his deathbed has ever said "Gee, I wish I'd driven my Corvette less."

SE Ohio here.Ordered my C7 around the first of the year knowing that should be plenty of time to get it before nice weather. Strange thing is I can't wait to take delivery even though it will probably be sitting in the garage until April!
