I need your HELP
Hi guys, I hang out in the C1 C2 section but I am here visiting you guys looking for some HELP. You see I just bought myself another 54 Corvette for Christmas (I figured know one else would buy it for me) but my problum is that it is in Manalapan NJ. and everything I see on the weather channel says that they are going to get hit up the east cost with a Blizzard. I need your help letting me know the weather and road conditions out your way. I will be coming from central Indiana. I was to leave Monday morning but now it looks like Tuesday morning before I leave. This will give them time to clear the roads and clean the highways of ice and snow. I will be pulling my 20' enclosed trailer so I don't need ice, snow nor high winds. Any HELP you guys could give a fellow Corvette Forum member would be great. Thanks in advance. Mike

I don't see any reason why all the major roads won't be cleared by then. You may just want to check with person you are picking it up from that the local roads are clear in Manalapan. Good thing it is in enclosed trailer so you don't get it covered in salt spray. Good luck

It is snowing here already in CT, and the storm is coming from our south. I just heard we are expecting up to 24". 
I can understand you being excited to get the "new" 54, (congrats) but
IMO may be a good time to wait several days!
Best of luck!

Towards the latter part of the coming week the weather will comparatively real nice, sunny and mid to high 40's. The only problem will be slushy, wet roads from all the quick melting. Good luck on your trip.

Hi Mike, I think you should delay your trip till summer. I'll volunteer to keep your 54 in my garage during the spring. I'll only track it two or three times a week just to keep everything lubed and working. On a serious note, you'll be fine, good luck with the purchase.
