I just looked at the weather forecast. 4 - 8 inches of snow followed by sleet and ice. [:((]

I've been trying to work in the garage on the 96 and its to cold to enjoy it. Moving to Florida with the rest of the "southern branch" of the NVCC is sounding better all of the time.

Unless the training center has a class, I'll be home with the snow!

Unless the shop I work at is closed I'll be going to work.
Lots of work to do, working O.T already [:((] [:((] [:((]
But will have more money to work on the car[:D] [:D]

You guys know I'm home if it snows! Whoo hoo.
Of course I'll be out and about in it, driving the '94 Escort wagon. [/:)] Sure it's hideous, but it kicks butt in the snow!

I think a lot of people use it for an excuse to take the day off. [;)]

I don't particularly want the snow but I could always use a day off. Problem is that I have to scoop the white stuff whether I stay home or not. [:((]

As the coupe is my daily drive and it doesn't drive well in the snow, I'll be working from home.

Plus the forecast (last I checked) is also talking "wintery mix" which means ICE!! [:((] [:((] [:((]

Mike...if it snows, they close the schools....and I already happen to know that Manassas City schools are going to be closed tomorrow!

So I don't just use the snow as an excuse! [[-X]

There you go. [:)]

I hope the '63 is inside a nice warm garage now.

The '96 is inside but the '86 has about 4" on snow on it right now [:((]. I was hoping to get the other side of the garage cleaned up so I could get them both in before this stuff hit. Needless to say, it didn't happen.

I have to confess, I open the garage door every now and then just to look at the two side by side, then think how lucky I am to own them. Its nice and dry and warm, garage is heated. Next trip is to the paint shop in Feb. John Sheldon will be doing it. Met with John last week. It will take about 5 months, everything is done by hand. The cost, well it will be very expensive, but after this id done, I will be finished. Well almost, but you know what I mean. Check out newsletter...did update on restro progress...

Regards[:D] [:D] [:D]

Just got through checking out your article in the newsletter. I LOVE your garage! (the garage is really nice, but having the vettes in it really makes it!) [:)]

Actually, I've been thinking about doing something like that with mine. I've been toying with the idea of extending it by 4' and widening it 6'.

It looks like tomorrow could bring a lot of ice. If that comes in, I will stay home.

Stayed home again today; my condo parking areas is a skating rink. [:(] [:(] [:(]

I'm continuing to work from home but the current forecast calls for more snow tonight (about another inch or so). Looks like I'm locked up at home again tomorrow.

I don't mind the snow and don't really like the ice but what is going to suck is the forcasted 20-30 MPH winds tomorrow. [:((]

What totally sucks is that I just flew back into town yesterday (after being gone a week) and REALLY missed my vette. With this crappy weather now I have to wait till I can take it out again!!!! ARGH!!!![:((] [:((] [:((]
