So the "Storm of the Century" has just started around Phila. At least we are suppose to see a warming trend right after the storm so hopefully it won't stay around long. Let it snow, let it snow...

We're at the middle of the storm now. The sleet and freezing rain are moving out and the snow is moving in. We don't expect much accumulation here in central NC. But north and west of us, it's a different story.
We were very concerned about power outage with the freezing rain but we only lost power for about a 1/2 hour so no big deal.
As for snow on the Vette, no way. The old Toyota gets parked in the driveway, the Vette gets the garage. I took this pic earlier today, right now it looks more like a giant ice covered black popsicle.
BTW, as of 4PM today there were over 600 accidents reported in NC alone, at least one fatality. Not a good idea to drive unless it's a critical situation.

Don't you know your car will depreciate 50% when snow hits it?

They're expecting over a foot of snow in Bowling Green so unless they moved all the new cars at the factory under cover there are going to be a lot of 'Vettes depreciating overnight...

I don't like keeping any of my vehicles outside. Not even my 2014 Ford F-150 in 20" of snow at my mountain home on Dec 26th, 2015. Elevation 8000 ft.

Love to be driving but .... Guess we'll have to wait a while
Looking like a blizzard in PA!
So we'll be hibernating for a while.
