30 degrees here today, no sign of spring yet, cleaned up the car, charged the battery...having a few cold snacks, patiently waiting! IMG_2703.jpg IMG_2705.jpg
 
Went for a 45 minute cruise with Submit in the 4-speed Charger before the rain set in. First ride this year. High 50's here.
 
I still have 1-2 feet of snow on my property...driveway is finally clear of ice and snow but it's like driving on mashed potatoes! Be another 4-6 weeks at least before I'll venture out with my wagon.
 
I keep reminding myself it’s still March in WI

Two years in a row I pulled the plow off the work truck in March only to have two of the biggest snow storms come in April - And that was only a few years back

I worked at the Airport this morning and it felt like January with the straight line winds and snow

But eventually Spring will show up , like in July
 
Nope
it's been/is really nice here
about 300+ days a year average
it's been over 60* - 70*+ the past couple of weeks
a couple of minor rain days here & there
& we even had snow a couple of times too, within the last month
nice warm, clear & sunny most times

other than the 60 or so, average days of crap weather we get
I can't complain

I still procrastinate on my projects thou... :poke:

no salt on our roads out here either

Then to add more pain

We have to wait for some major rain storms just to clean all the salt and brine off the roads
before all our toys can come out of the garage
 
It's gonna snow tomorrow with an expected high of 22 on Monday.
I'm pretty anxious I've got a bunch of stuff to do this spring.
 
Yes, sitting here waiting to get them out and to start working on Charger #2, the Roached Runner and the Belvedere.

Don’t get me started, I hate cold weather and hate it even more with snow!
 
I took the car out for a cruise a week or so ago when the sun peeked out and was happy that I did as it exposed a minor fuel issue which I believe is now fixed. Handheld for the EFI also packed it in, so new one arriving this week. Hoping for a sunny day to take it to a friend's place and get it up on the lift to put in the new Hotchkiss bars, shocks, FF quick ratio pitman/idler and new master cylinder. Still deciding if I'm gonna treat myself to some new wheels & tires. Got about a month before the first run of the year. I did wash it yesterday.

85 degrees F here today, but morning is still cool (not likely according to a bunch of you guys, but to me it is)...
 
Glad I live in Colorado. We already have car shows going on. Also we don't do the "put her away for the winter" crap around here.
