Amen to that brother. Heck, just give me cold with clear dry roads and snow on the sides of the road and i am back in action with the P car.

Unfortunately, looks like we are going to be grounded for a little while now my fellow die hard, drive your hot car all year round (if you can) hard core, fast car enthusiast .

Stay in Napa bro, its pay back time here in Chi-Town after winter gave a huge pass the first 5 weeks of winter. Back to reality, but winter is more than 1/2 way over now and I am starting to see a very small light at the end of the tunnel.

Yes, I only mention the warm up to melt the snow. Appears we are in deep freeze till February but I bet we'll be back in action then. Here is a shot from my 1st long drive in the Z last February.

You know I am Steve, Lol, but the way winter has now turned into a real Mo. F$%^$(@ now, it looks like Feb. (which is just 1 week away) will probably be a ball buster also.

That being said if it wasn't for the 3/4 inch dusting we got yesterday late afternoon my 911 Turbo S would have been out today (Saturday)) but not with fresh snow on the ground.

Good news it that Feb. ***** fly by and its all downhill once March arrives.

Just 52 days now and counting until calendar Spring (but whose counting)?.

Bad news is that its January 30, 2019, and -45 degrees out with the wind chill, and -22 degrees without the wind, the coldest day in Chicagoland history for this time of year, (with 7 inches of snow on the ground). UGHH!

Good news is that there are only 49 days now until Calender spring, and that's going to go buy real fast (trust me)!

48F forecast for Sunday. If you use the wind chill temperature that will be a 100 degree gain! Need some rain to clean those streets and we're good to go.
So it looks like this winter will not keep us out of action for any entire calendar month.

I don't know about you folks in the southern suburbs, but I'm going to guess we probably have about 20" of snow on the ground. It's going to get pretty sloppy before it all melts.

Get notified of new replies

To Official Count Down Until Spring, March 20, 2019, that's less than 4 months.

No doubt Steve, with the warm temps coming this weekend and Monday its going to be one big dirty WET mess out there! I'll take that, we need that b/f we can move forward as we inch closer to spring, but wet and dirty roads mucking up my clean cars is the one of the last type of weather condition you will catch me driving my fun cars in. Now if there is frozen snow on the sides of the road and its 15 degrees out and the roads are clear, my P car would be out for certain in those conditions (but that's not the case right now or after the big dirty meltdown soon to come). With any luck some of us might get some seat time in during Feb., but if Feb. is 1/2 of what the last 2/3 of January was weather wise, then forgetaboutit.

Can't wait until spring, now just 48 days away!

Isn't tomorrow, Saturday, groundhog day. If he gets out of his hole and sees his shadow, vets will be out soon.
