Default Denver weather!

This is what I love about Denver... snow earlier in the week, supposed to snow all weekend. But today is nearing 70, which allows me to enjoy the Z06 in January!

I do agree. I live in Colorado and work in Georgia and often Georgia has been much colder than that in Colorado.

Do they treat the roads out there with salt brine? We've got tons of that stuff here in Virginia.

I grew up in Denver and live in Grand Junction now. I drive mine all year with only a few days I can't.

It's always nice when winter throws us a nice little break so we can bring out the beasts! I can't be one of those people that takes the insurance off and leaves it sitting the entire winter, even if I can only bring it out 3 or 4 times it's worth it for the therapy! We're getting a break from winter here this weekend too and I'm hoping the roads are clean enough to take mine out for a spin too

Yep, just went and washed the car. A few spots of snow still on the grass, but otherwise, it's quite nice out.

What I like about living in San Diego is that it's around 70 and it doesn't snow here at all.

wow and no snow either. It warmed up here also but there was so much snow that it is just a melting mess. Enjoy it!

The problem here is that they use salt like it's going out of style

Where were you guys last Jan-March? I was hoping to meet a few forum members while I was in Denver for 7 weeks.

I loved Denver, with exception to the cold!! Starting getting nice in March.

Badass rides!!

You haven't seen salt being used like it is going out of style until you come to the NYC suburbs.
On Tuesday it was 42 degrees and raining. The rain stopped at 11 am, and when the temps dropped to 32 degrees at 4pm, despite all the roads being dry, they proceeded to drop a solid 3/8" thick salt coating on all the dry roads. The salt and salt dust is still there 4 days later and won't disappear until it rains again. Sucks because it is 45 degrees today and it would have been nice to go out for a 50-60 mile drive.

It is top down weather in Denver today! We will probably get 6 to 10 inches of snow tonight though. Got to live for the moment!

In the northeast the weather will be mild for the next few days (50-60s), but the recent cold temps have blown-up the roads. Between the endless pot holes, salt, calcium chloride, etc., the Vette will be parked for a little while.
