Angry OK I'm ready for spring!!

I really need a garage. I think it's time to move back down South.

Yeah I got some of that. I'm in cincinnati. Luckily my sevens in the garage. But I still spent about an hour chipping ice off of my daily driver.

It's the Wings West Supra style. Not sure if they still make it. I bought it several years ago. Installation was pretty easy, just 4 holes.

HAHA. When I lived out there(Monterey), I had friends who had not physically seen snow.

Might be a good thing you all don't get that much snow down there. I was at Ft. Bragg from 87-90 and one winter they got about 6 inches in 4 hours. The town completely lost its mind. They had no snow removal equipment whatsoever. Took over 2 weeks to get all 4 lanes back open on the by-pass around town.

On a serious note I think the ice is only gonna get worse 2 months to go. I lost some trees couple years ago.
