Been back on Insurance in March, but with this CRAPPY WEATHER lately, was almost pointless.

With this freezing rain/ ice storm coming this weekend they will be dumping huge amounts of salt, hopefully the rains coming after that will wash it away. It's the 12th of April today I'm guessing at least 1 more week just in time for next Thursday's HDR.

It's BEAUTIFUL out there right now, but there is a short window of opportunity because it cools off later tonight and then we get a few days of rain/freezing rain/wet snow But I'm taking mine out for a spin, it's sunny and 18C in Oakville right now!

I think tomorrow might be a better choice so that I can have the world's largest toboggan

Sitting around pining for driving season and wondering how many more days. Winter is hard without the Corrado countdown.

Just when a bunch of the snow gets melted and you think driving season might start up again, then another snowstorm hits and piles more onto us. Tuesday looks to be brutal yet again. We had a good start to the winter but the past month has sucked big time. Last February was awesome, I had a lot of dry salt free roads to drive my Corvette, but there looks to be no chance of that this February, and probably the first half of March too

Went to Rhubarb for dinner last night and the Corvette crowd has been replaced by folks on motorized toboggans. Spring cannot come soon enough.

Keep the count down going Corrado, somethings matter.

I feel like we got slammed in January to make up for the breeze we've had so far

December and the first week of January were great, I put 1000 km on my Corvette during that time. I mistakenly thought we were going to get off easy this winter but it's been one storm after another lately
