Weather looks encouraging here in NE Ohio - it is raining and rinsing all the salt off the roads! I am waiting for a new clutch cable anyway, so I would really be depressed if it was nice!

I drive my 914 more in the winter than the summer. Here in Allentown, we get snowfall that comes in big chunks, like 2 to 6 inches at a time. I got my "new" 74 on the road last Wed, and have driven it everyday until today where its now raining. Our weather comes mainly from the east, and the Appalachian Mountains that split PA clears all the onion snows (1/4 to 2 inches) in the Pittsburgh area, leaving us clean and clear for long periods.
Between snows here, it could be sunny for a week or 2 straight. Yeah the roads are dusty, but as long as the 914 stays dry, the road dust can be blown off.
In the spring and summer it's not unusual to have a clear sunny morning followed by PM showers which prohibits taking the 914 to work.

It was snowing like crazy on my walk to the buss stop this morning. Not really sticking, just on the grass and stuff a little. I love walking in the snow, early morning before everyone else is up. It's quiet.

If I had a digital camera I'd take a pic for ya....
It was kind of weird last night, it snowed hard and heavy til about 9 and then it kind of turned to rain, and from what all the cars driving by right now sound like, it sounds like it froze up pretty good after that. I'm driving back to the west side to go home tomorrow night, so that should be a fun trip.
It would be nice if it quit snowing so we can get all of the gravel cleaned up out of the parking lot that we test our race car in. It usually takes forever for the sweepers to come around, and now it'll just be even longer. Oh well I guess...

Snowing like crazy here at Squaw Valley.
Man they have a ton of snow. Making up for last year, I guess.
Left the heat on at the house, should be OK.

We got like 4" of snow on Sunday, today it is 60.
Chicago - if you don't like the weather, wait a day.
Honest to God, just like those little 'you know you're from Chicago when....' lists, i have used the Heat and the AC in my car on the same day (Of course not in the 914 - which has neither).

Gotta love the weather in the Rockies...

P.S. 's'okk really. I used to live in Portland, and I know how bad it can be there when even 1" of snow sticks to the ground... Hardly anyone there can drive in the snow worth beans...

Okay as long as we're on the topic here....
[rant mode]
Driving to work today was un-frickin' believeable. I know what I just said about Portland drivers in the snow, saddly the same should be said about front range drivers here in Colorado. Barely any snow stuck to the road, maybe an inch or so of slush. At yet, in my 25 minute drive to work I encountered the everpresent stamp of marketing's effect on the modern driver. Three vehicles spun off the road and/or impacted with a berm or such. What were they? No, it wasn't the 20 year old tercell on bald tires, he was the one driving 20 miles an hour on a 60 mph two lane road...

It was, get this.... A new Land Rover Discovery, an Acura MDX, and a BMW X5...

Geez... Just because you spent $50k on your all wheel drive luxo yacht, does not mean you are immune to the elements!!! Me, I had no problem driving through the inch or so of slush at the posted limit. Why? Cause I have... you know... wait for it... SNOW TIRES!!!!!! Geez people! It's the freakin' rocky mountains!! Get some bloody snow tires for your $50k fashion statement!!

When I went to the bank in BAD TUB at 10 am I was still wearing my typical non-work attire, flips, tee shirt and shorts and got wierder looks than usual. As the compression comes up with the rings sealing it gets funner and funner.......too bad it's an ass dragger, huh?
