Here are the 2 cars (Remo's in front) sleeping the winter off:

Same here in Philly. I can't take it anymore. I did have my vert out yesterday. It was beautiful and warm. What a difference 24 hours can make. It is so grey and raw here. My daughter was thinking of going to Boston U. I know it's a great university and beautiful campus. I told her-" THINK SUNSHINE STUPID." I can't wait for spring/summer.

What a sad picture that is . I can hear the poor things crying :cry ! I know mine is. I'm starting to get razzed at work because nobody has seen the 'vette since November. This has been an awful winter. Everytime our roads get cleared another storm comes in and makes everything a mess again.

I live in the same area as BruceBed, just across the Delaware river in NJ. Had mine out yesterday for a nice ride, now it's in my parents garage all tucked away.
Hey Bruce, where did your daughter decide to go to college?? Mine is at Temple University in her freshman year. She loves it there except for when it snows. She misses the "snow days" they used to get in high school!!!

I noticed from the pictures you have the hood unlatched. Any reason to store them that way?

No. The picture was taken right after hooking up the battery tenders. The hoods are down now.

I feel for you guys. I really do.

Dateline: Greater Denver area. We're getting a bit of a respite from the winter. Temps for the last few days have been in the low 50's, with clear to partly cloudly skies. Yes, I've been taking full advantage of it, and driving the Z06, only because I know what's coming. March and April are our snowiest months of the year. I'm getting while the getting's good.

Thanks

The only problem with winter storage in my basement was getting the cars down the stairs.

I really do feel for you right coaster's because if I miss a day going for a ride even with the top up, I start getting ugly. It has been in the high 60's low 70's this week which makes the left coast great for Vette's even with an occasional shaker.

That snow will keep the Vette in the garage some more!ad

Winter Blues

As I read these posts from the northeast, I had flashbacks to my living in Maine for most of my life. It was great to look forward to the winter season with all the many outdoor activities such as skiing and ice fishing, ect; but as one gets along in years and outdoor activities change, it sure is nice to be outside with temps. in the 70's in January. Mind you now, I am not rubbing it in, but the forecast calls for "top down" weather today and tomorrow in the land of sun and fun. Now if we could just prevent those darn hurricanes. Enjoy your winter, spring will be here before you know it. Ayuh!

Hi to all - just wanted to put my .02 in about snow. I've lived in RI all my life and I hate snow. I've had vettes most of my life and I hate snow. Had a 67 (someone stole it), had a 74 (sold it to buy a house), bought a 91 and kept it for 4 years, had a 99 coupe (sold it for a 01 Z06 (had engine problems - swore off vettes - bought an 02 M3), sold the M3 and went back to 03 vert. When will it end? I love driving my cars but I hate being limited by the snow. Mine is sitting in the garage covered up for the winter. This has not been a good winter. I think it's almost time to pack it up and head south. Spring can't come soon enough for me!!! It's about to snow again and I'm not happy. And we're not even getting as much as Remo.

 

[ROCKETBLOCK]

I feel your pain!

 

[cklotzle]

This is my first winter as a 'vette owner. I never liked winter to begin with and I have wanted to move to Florida for a while, but it is really killing me this year. Hopefully just a couple more years!

Ron, Clermont is very nice. I just bought a couple of cases of wine at Lakeridge when I was down there in December. You are lucky to have the sunshine !

Ron,

I'm just the opposite, grew up in Melboune/Palm Bay and love the 4 seasons, however, it would be nice to limit winter to a few weeks . The snow is what I get for sitting in Kissimmee with Nut & JRMaroon last month laughing at the Weather Channel as one of the bigger NE snow storms canceled all the flights .

These are from last year, but this is what my driveway looks like much of this winter:

Yeah, it's a long driveway and I'm about 10 miles from Remo.

Chad,
I Don't like to hear about your moving to Florida ideas. Talk like that will get you kicked out of the "West Townsend Corvette Association". It is after all a very elite organization. First, you have to live in "West" Townsend (population maybe 1,100 people). Second, you have to own a silver C5 Corvette. And third you have to be an engineer. Given that it's so difficult to meet all the criteria - you need to think long and hard about leaving.
