Frank, I HEAR YOU!!! I am getting cabin fever!! We too got hit again--Ice & Snow. The weather is crazy because now they are saying 50 degrees and higher on Wednesday. We have been shoveling snow off the roofs and chipping ice.

Snowing today in upstate NY, expecting about 4-6 inches. Was supposed to move some cars to a new shop today, that will have to wait until tomorrow. Come on spring!

On January 14,1979 I was 15 years old,& One of the Most reliable Paper Boys Villa Park ever had...Until I woke up to this.
It was Sunday Morning,& I had a challenge ahead of me.Even our dogs wouldn't go outside to pee.I'll never forget the look on thier faces when I opened the door for them.

You were lucky, I had to walk 20 miles each way uphill to school in the snow.

In that '79 snow my Z-28 didn't get moved for almost a week, I walked the 3 miles or so to work for several days.

richp. I'll be in the Orlando area from the 20th to the 24th, other than Old Town are there any cruises/shows worth making the drive to on the Atlantic side?

you might have alot of snow but we here in sunny so calif are getting hammered by heavy rain. we've had heavy rain now for about 2 weeks and 3 back to back storms this weekend. this recent group of storms this weekend has had very heavy rainfall over 1-2 inches per hour or more and snow level down under 3500 ft elevation.the two major mountain passes "grapvine" and cajon pass" have been hit hard with snow and sometimes closed due to poor weather conditions. the local weather reports are saying we're at over 15" of rainfall for the season and still alot more to come.my condo has suffered water damage due to the on going heavy rain.the entry way flooded causing alot of damage to the interior walls and destroyed my carpet and kitchen floors.this winter has had some really weird weather patterns all over the country

Here is a picture of another garage in the backround that fell victim of the 1979 blizzard,the whole roof just caved in and the sides blew out and that is a red 65-66 plymouth fury 2dr if I remember correctly that you see that was in there at the time and it suffered major damage as you could imagine.This picture was taken on the nw side of chicago after the storm and when the alleys were finally cleared out so we could get our cars out of garage.That is my 72 340 cuda daily driver at the time in the picture.
