Come On Spring
 

18" of snow due today. Starting to get cabin fever :(

Boxster is hiding under the covers being shielded from the elements.

No comments on the cover please. All the cash went into the Pcar.

We had it last week, about a foot. My brother lives in DC and he and his wife are both home today. On another note I have a friend in ATL and she's posting pics on fb of "being home for the third snow day". It's awful! I can see her driveway through the "misting" of snow. I know they're not used to it but come on!?!?

My cover is a 15 dollar tarp from Costco haha, we only had 6 or so inches but that's enough to cancel school from Tuesday to the weekend. Serious cabin fever over here.

We didn't get too much but no one down here has ever heard of snow tires haha. Mother had to have the Camry pulled up the driveway by my fathers truck

The girl on the weather channel said she was expecting to see eight inches tonite. I assume she meant snow.

Spring is here.
 

We are expecting friggin record highs. Crazy weather in the US this year. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1392319271.jpg

Sorry guys, I spent too many years up north!http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1392320615.jpg

There was a Fall and Winter?

I must have blinked during it.

man... not even a pillow for that bed sheet.

Pillow is at the other end and the bed sheets are 800 thread count. :p

However willing to accept donations to upgrade to something more to your liking.

sorry saving up for a snow-blower.

I'm using the OEM outdoor cover. $200 on Ebay. Fits tight as a snare drum.

I hear that! Doing the same in the spring.

Spot the snowman!

What's all that white stuff laying around? Doesn't it get in the car when you drive with the top down?

the car has been garaged through all of this... shoveled the drive just to take it into the neighborhood for some pics, once done... she returned to slumber in the garage.

An other good one today! Wind reaching 100km along the st-Laurence river, but still the boxster perform Well. Tonight afterwork should be interesting :-).

Love the snowday. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1392396698.jpg

I'm interested to know what snowblowers people are running in various parts of the continent.

Mine is a Yardworks 8 hp 28", dual stage, with 6 forward speeds and 2 reverse. It is adequate most of the time, although it does struggle with packed drifts once they get deeper than about 3'. I'm going to fit it with drift cutters and tire chains to see if that helps. I think the chains will make all the difference as traction does seem to be the main issue in the heavy stuff.

Better call in the National Guard :D

Waiting for another 1 1/2 to 2 hours for the current round of snow to stop so I can go out and fire up the Snowblower. 3 car side entrance driveway and several hundred feet worth of private drive to contend with, I'm set back in the woods so the depth isn't usually too bad. My daughter's boyfriend is here tonight since it's Valentines Day, thinking about putting the lad to work ;). The back entrance to my office:

After my softball game today it was so nice I put the top down for the drive home. I left my sunglasses in my other car, oh, thought I was gonna die! :cool:

Man, you guys are writing about snow blowers and I got all sweaty mowing my yards today. Just imagine if we had to shovel or use scissors to maintain the yards:eek:. Afterwards took the wife out to lunch and then to the beach, in the Jägermobile of course. :cheers:

We get similar problems....It's called being snow blind.

Me too, top down on the drive home from work, gorgeous weather.
oooooh, and the sweet roar of my TS mufflers...I muted the music so I could enjoy some spirited driving.shifting up and down through the gears...yippee kye yeah!
:D

Im stuck behind 100 ft of 3ft high snow. Im not going anywhere. Next week the weather will be warming up into the 50s, hopefully we'll see a lot melt.

Less than 30 days to my years first DE doesn't look good. Piling on 5 more inches of snow today.

despite the snow pics i posted a few days ago, it will be in the 60s early next week and 70s by thursday!

Gotta love the snow... took her out for pictures and then i got stuck until i got some buckets of hot water :)http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1393186578.jpg

Sorry guys, been driving around with the top down for the last 3 weeks. Last week it got into the 80s, had to turn the air conditioner on :cheers:

I shoveled about 50x10ft today. Now i can get the tt out of the garage, but not yet out of the driveway. I have another 50 ft to go.

Back to 70s here in S.C.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1393194410.jpg
Got to the engine to clean out the air filter.

Last three months here, actually we never had winter arrive period. Bought my car in October and never have driven with lid closed. Daaammm I hate drought but dammmmm I love the warm winter, especially since owning a convertible.

Damn, you guys still diggin' out up there?

Just read there's more coming your way. :(

Hey Jake,

Why don't you just throw salt in our wounds?

Snow tonight, Tuesday & Wednesday.

Warmed up to 55 today, so I figured I'd exercise the top/motors/etc. More snow and cold coming east this week, but thankfully I'll be in Vegas.

Thursday I was very happy to drive to work. Roads had that glazed feel to them so I had to be careful in the AM but the PM ride home was nice
The pot holes around here are a whole different thing.

Tomonomics, you know that front license plate is actually optional right?

I haven't had a front license plate on a car in NJ since Bill Clinton was President.
99% of time they don't even bother to write the ticket and if they do write at ticket,
it's better than having the Staties use it to zap me with the lazer on the Parkway.
As a matter of fact I got a ticket on the Parkway recently (warning with a fine) and they didn't even look at the front of the car.

I got one front license plate ticket while living in ny out in Nassau county. $100 for 14 years with no front plate.

P-Lap, I agree it's not a big deal most of the time, as I had no front tag on my Miata for 10 years and only received one warning. However, after getting two tickets at $100 each during the first ~five months in the Boxster, I decided it was no longer 'optional'. Sometimes it just comes down to the town you're in, the car you're in, and how Johnny Law feels that day.

I put it back on for inspection, and mounted it low and recessed into the front spoiler so I don't even see it when I walk around the car. It's been there ever since and doesn't bother me anymore. While I prefer the look without it, I choose to keep a low profile and not draw attention in that regard.

Ready to go....
 

Sun came out and it is 68 degrees, top down fun to be had.
