I'm afraid that this is still where mine will stay until the roads are free of any salt and sand. Hopefully that will be on or soon after April 1.

Salt, sand, huge potholes all over, and still snow and cold. It will be a few more weeks for sure. So, it will stay like this for awhile yet.

Had my first ride of the season, on March 9th, when approx. twelve of our club members got out for a two hour ride and dinner. Twelve Corvettes all in line going down the the curvy roads we have here in South Missouri. What a blast.

Mines still in storage. We're supposed to get 1/2"-1" of snow tonight and tomorrow.

I've got a basement full of stuff just waiting to be installed.

+2F this morning. On the brighter side, it looks like milder, above freezing temperatures by the weekend. At this point I wouldn't even count on having the car out before the middle of April. This has been a winter more like what I lived with as a kid, just not quite as much snow as back then but there is at least a foot of the white stuff on the ground out in the open. Taking the cover off the car would just increase the pain.

Mine has been out for over a week and I have amassed nearly 200 miles! Though our temperatures are FINALLY rising looks like more snow in the forecast. Here that means more salt on the roads.

I was out yesterday and 18 degrees is as cold as I have had a Corvette, tires not so likey...

Mine never fully went away. I drove it through winter as best I could. The back alley here at our complex ices over and snow piles up blocking me in for long periods. But, I do take it out in snow/ice/sleet,, etc and then just have it cleaned again. This year, though, was worse than prior so it spent longer periods locked up behind snowbanks.

Argh this winter just sucks. Went and visited mine yesterday. Doesn't look like I can get her out quite yet.

I've had the car out a few times in the last 3 weeks for a quick run here and there. My part of PA there is no snow and the roads are rather clear of salt. Just waiting on new tires this week. Oil is already changed, fresh inspection, good to go by the end of the week.
