Winter?

Fess up Swamprat. You drove a Corvair back in the day, didn't you?
Or a '58 Chevy with the floorboards rusted out. The modern day Flintmobile.

What a mess, another 5 inches of snow and it's a blizzard out there now...but will be near 70 degrees tomorrow.

Only one day for skiing? Bummer!

Our snow had gotten solid enough to walk on top of it without sinking. Low 40's today has softened it a touch.

I learned to drive in a 1962 Corvair Monza convertible. I liked that car.

My first car was a 1950 Ford. It was almost all there. No floorboards, you could literally see the road going past. Sat on a milk can.
2 nd car was a 1961 Morris Oxford. Painted British Racing Green. Nice car, fast. Was way faster after I put the Austin Healy motor in it.
Never owned or drove a Corvair.
My buddy had a '58 Chev that was an auto matic 283, he changed it to a 4 spd standard 348 and 2x 4bbls progressive linkage. Now that was a fast car.

The first car I ever drove was a 1947 Plymouth. I stole (took it without the owners' permission) it from our driveway while Mum & Dad were out of town getting drunk at a Grey Cup party. I did that twice. I was in my 40s when I fessed up to Dad. He admitted that he figured it was me, but he didn't care because the car was back where it was supposed to be (backed in the driveway) and with more gas in it than when he parked it.

Fingers crossed my kids don't ever read this, although the putting of fuel back in would probably be enough to scare them off

Mine was a '62 Ford Galaxy 500 that dad bought for my older brother and I. But in his eyes it was his car. So much so that he thought he could prevent me from using it by removing the power steering pump. Fooled him though. I didn't want to use it. I preferred dad's 67 Plymouth Sports Fury. That was a nice car. So I waited until I got a job and bought a '72 Dodge Charger practically new. It was a demo that the dealer owner's wife had driven for a year. I put that car through hell.

Wait for it...wait for it.

I thought this was winter....

anyway, my first car was a 69 olds 442, give anything to have that back. Had a few clunkers, but had a 72 Dodge Charger I later totaled....

Back to winter, 200,000 people without power in the triad area, most are being told 4-8 days before fixed. Glad we missed all the ice 30 minutes away, just snow...

Beautiful day here in the mountains - high was 59F/15C. Expected low tonight will be a little chilly. More of the same for the next two days, then possible snow Tuesday.
