All it means is that it's time to pack up and MOVE!

Is that white stuff what folks call snow? I've heard of it, but quite sure I don't want any thing to do with it.

Hope it clears for you soon my friend. I can't imagine having that mess around all winter long.

Oh man, that is disappointing. That's why the best deals for a new Corvette are in the fall....because you know you're going to have to sit and stare at it all winter. Keep the faith! Spring is coming!

I know what you mean, but Spring is right around the corner.

When I saw the first picture my first impression was to say "STEP ON IT", then I saw the second picture.

I feel for you brother -- 60 here today, raining and pot holes big enough to swallow your tires and wheel. The CV sits in the garage; almost afraid to drive the DD. On the way to work this morning dark and pouring rain, I saw at literally, at least 15 cars in a row on the right shoulder with blown tire by one of the exits on I94 West.

Mine has 38 miles on it and I was moving snow in the last 2 days. The only miles are Dealer to my house and an 8 mile ride last November.
I almost pulled the cover off today. I'm jonesing...

I'd LOVE 59 degrees here in KC. We had freezing rain and sleet here today. We're not supposed to be in the 50's until this coming Sunday.

Oh gosh, look the pool is almost warm enough to do laps in without a wetsuit.
Won’t be long!

And honestly, I-94 is one of the better freeways. Plus, these side streets are WAY worse. Hit a bad one about an hour ago on Eastbound 13 Mile, West of Groesbeck right after the railroad tracks. No blown tire out of my daily driver, but even when the snow melts, they have to fix these road conditions ASAP. Pothole patrol has it's work cut out for them in 2018.
