Default Go home Winter, you're drunk...

This crap had better clear out tonight, have a road trip tomorrow morning!!

Shoveled the driveway and had the plow crew make sure the road was cleared to get out but supposed to keep going into this evening. Only bright side is it's supposed to dry out tonight so the roads "should" be good...

I am sick of it too. I am in Kentucky and it was in the high 50s a few days ago and supposedly going to be close to that this weekend too, but today it looked like this:

I feel very bad for you all in the Northeast.....Spring shouldn't start this way for anyone.

^^^ Those are amazing pictures CAB6!!!


I've been saying this all winter, you guys should move up to southern Ontario, it's been pretty dry here ever since the end of January. In fact, most winters here are not that snowy compared to a lot of areas not too far from us (like Western NY which is just an hour away but often gets hammered with massive snow storms thanks to the lake effect from Lake Erie) I'm still anxious to start spending my winters in southwest Florida though, where there is zero chance I would ever see any snow.

My twenty years of carrying the Nikons say picture #4 is the best. Just kidding.

All four are super but the offset and tension in number four, to me, makes it visually more interesting. Well done!

Great pics CAB6

Snow is definitely a pain but those pics do the car justice.

IMHO, pic #4 is the most creative one. Runner up is #3. All are great though.

BTW, what is that snow stuff y’all keep talking about?

Those pics are great! I had the same car except it had black interior and black calipers. Traded for the same thing again but a coupe. Your pics make me miss the convert.
Well done!

Photos are great. You're a good photographer, others you have posed of your Stringray are as good.

Sorry. Couldn’t resist. I lived the first 25 years of my life where winters are frigid and snowy and I don’t miss it one bit.

I understand all too well!

Lived the 1st 18 years of my life free of snow and ice, but most of my recent residences have been afflicted with this nonsense. Hazards of my chosen profession but will retire soon, hopefully to more temperate climates!
