Default Detroit, are you ready for some snow? WTF?

Weather.com:

Morning rain...then windy with a mix of rain and snow showers in the afternoon. Cold. High 39F. Winds NNW at 25 to 35 mph. Chance of precip 90%. 2 to 4 inches of wet snow expected.

So much for pulling the car out this weekend! Guess the cover stays on for another week!

Wanted to make sure this was the "Kevin" who took first place at Baker's for "black vettes" last summer. Checked out your photo section - clever idea, skirts that zip from the bottom to the top!!!
Will you be stopping by at Milan on May 7th?

George that's because you have a plow on the front of your vette.

I can remember when we had a tornado 5-8 years ago that took-out a house on my street and threw our padle boat a mile away. Michigan weather changes every 5 min.

Hello Irish Whiskey, Yep that's me. I was planing on going to Milan, just to watch. I had the complete drivetrain (Motor Trans and TQ Tube) out of the car during winter and I need to get some miles on it before I perform all the re-torques on everyhing.

See Ya there!

Kevin

This is what was in SE Columbus area this morning...



Not as bad as they were calling for. But still way too much especially after a week of 80's.
