Featured 4 months into a 6 month sentence

[Dale124]

Even though most of this winter has been mild, with the exception of the last couple of miserable weeks, it has seemed like a long, Corvette-less stretch of time. With a little luck, we will have the toys back on the road by Mid April. I know some of you are blessed with a fairly mild climate and shorter winter, here on the prairies, we can expect a long haul.
Stay strong, my frozen brethren.

I was beginning to think we would be on the road earlier than usual this spring with this mild winter. That is until an unforecast blizzard dumped 25cm of snow yesterday and we still have some light snow falling this morning. I think Ol' Yeller may have gotten even more than we did on my part of the island.

I have coffee with my Vette every morning Dale and she asks me every day how come the dogs get exercised and she doesn't. I think next week I will pull the cover off and give her my ritual February bath, wax and detail. That should keep her happy for a couple months.

Time always has a way of slipping through your hands so before you know it, Spring will be here and we'll all be enjoying our rides. When that happens, we should organize a get-together of the Forums' "Edmonton and area Corvette folk" (or anyone else who wants to attend: anyone with a Corvette welcome) assuming there aren't any COVID restrictions preventing that.

Me too! I would love to see that C8 up close.

I had to get the tractor out this mornng and clean up about 2-3 feet of snow from the house out to the street before I went to work. I don't know what way the wind was blowing, but I got all the snow and the neighbours got hardly any... maybe they put their snow in my driveway...gggrrrrrr

photos from March 29, 2019,
still some snow on the ground but clean dry roads.
The earliest out of hibernation for this one here in Grande Prairie Alberta.
If it’s nice enough for motorcycles it’s nice enough for

I now Don, the wind was from an odd direction this time. I had drift between 2 and 3 feet deep across the full front of my garage but half my driveway had no snow, just black asphalt . Behind the house and garage it was even deeper.

go figure

I haven't plowed myself out for a week now. Some drifts in the lane but nothing I couldn't get out if I had too. I really hesitate to take the tractor or my truck plow out when it's around -30. Metal breaks way to easy when it's that cold. Suppose to get warmer next week. Will worry about plowing then.

When spring arrives, we'll get together

 

[Carson]

Got out today for good behaviour!
After five months of the six month sentence.

Asphalt was clean and dry but I couldn’t resist this photo opportunity

Count me in!

 

[OL Yeller]

Carson, put that back in the garage like a good little boy.

 

[Dale124]

I don’t want to jinx it, but we might be able to play with our big boy toys sooner than later, if this weather keeps up. Here in Edmonton, most of the snow is gonzo! Fingers crossed we will be out and about soon with no more lousy weather to spoil the fun.

Here in Toronto the Snow is all gone. Noticed several Vettes and Exotics on the road already.

Stop it right now or I will empty my backyard and send it your way. This was taken this morning. The bank of snow is about shoulder height. Now then, is everyone going to behave themselves??

Very generous of you but I swear there is an old saying " better in your backyard than ours " . . Soon enough we will all be out enjoying one of life's simple pleasure.

Was out yesterday. Put 200k on. Spring is here. Winter isn't dead but....
