So tired of this weather

[ViperSmith]

Only 28 days till March, right?

[Policy Limits]

Ha. I run it once per week anyway. The car seems to handle the cold well.

[City]

Only 28 days till March, right?

Got that right! This is the first winter since 2001 that I've had to use a battery charger. Never have 4 consecutive weeks ever gone by where I couldn't take the Viper out ... till this year.

[swexlin]

I was thinking about taking mine out tomorrow, but the dust clouds of salt on the road are literally that...clouds. I might have to run the SRT8 though, she hasn't been out in a couple weeks. My blue Dart (my DD) is literally white from the salt.

Neither the Viper nor the Charger have sat for more than 4 weeks since I've owned them (April 10 for the Viper, and Feb 07 for the Charger). It's bad to let cars sit.

[The_Greg]

Man, you're telling me. We can hardly even have fun up here: I had planned an indoor go karting trip but now looks like our 1 hour drive might be smashed with 3-10" of snow during the day.

I have zero outdoor winter hobbies. The most I can do is sit inside and goof around with the GoPro or something.

Funny but I was just there the end of August! Rode a Segway on that path along the beach. SWEET!

I prefer this: 2890

[The_Greg]

My winter toy. Wrong wheel drive though. And at 154k miles, its not exactly cherry.
2891

In the summer time, I forget how bad winter can be and I think, "winter gives me an appreciation for the changing of the seasons and the precious time I do have with the Viper." But right about now I'm thinking, "Who needs appreciation when you can just drive it whenever you want anyways?"

Time to start making a 5 year plan that includes MOVING!

[PittsburghRT]

I'm waiting to see the 2015 subaru sti in person an might pick up one of those.

Yep, wife and I have been talking about SC (though not as warm as we'd like) or maybe FL.

[Ohiotj]

I lived in as for 4 years. Now in ohio. Snow is easier to deal with then sweating all,day and night. Plus I have no ac in my viper.

[Anonymous]

Viper smith what part of SC, were moving to myrtle beach 2015.

[ViperSmith]

Viper smith what part of SC, were moving to myrtle beach 2015.

No idea, just something we've pondered! We know a lot of people that have moved down to NC, so it is an option as well, more so tired of the DC area.

[Coloviper]

Well, 4" of snow at the house last night, calling for an additional 12" of snow to start on the drive home here in Colorado.

Global warming, what a farce! I think they need to mandate all high hp modified cars to forgoes the emissions testing so people drive them to warm up the local region. Talked to my uncle up in Saskatchewan and they haven't even seen temps above -25 for the majority of the winter along with a lot of -40(+) days and nights. That and they are into the feet of accumulated snow which will be there until April. He is bout ready to just lose it all the way to Mexico!

[C.J]

So the snow was just about gone, and the fools at DOT sent a plow/salt truck through our neighborhood. The nearly clear streets are now white with salt in several places.

The Viper and Vette are staying put until after the first heavy rain.

[Nine Ball]

I couldn't live up North, I enjoy doing car stuff weekly, all year long. It was in the 60s today, I washed 2 cars in the driveway.

-25c or f? Both are damn cold regardless (-25c = -13f and -25f = -31c)

I love the cold weather, but my only downside is I don't take the viper out. Where I live it hit 40 today and I feel I could of worn a tank top and shorts it was so warm lol. Viper is itching to be driven, but the salt is just insane right now.

I do have this for my DD/winter funmobile

2889 I need a boat!

Weather for January in the UK has been the wettest since records began! Army has been asked to help people in Somerset, SW England. Its Just non stop rain here :( I was very lucky last weekend, we got hit by a freak Tornado, (yea, 1st one I have ever experienced) I was driving home and a Very large tree came down in front of the car (not the viper), as I reversed the car at speed back up the road another tree came down behind us! We don't normally get weather like that, scary stuff!

That Picture Newport Posted sure looks refreshing :)

[Rizzo]

Coldest winter I can remember here in years. Unfortunately our cold is -35C and we have had a lot of days of that this year. But it seems our regular temps are around -25C which is DAMN cold. I am SOOOO sick of winters where I live. We are actually going to look at property in a few weeks west of here where its warmer all the time. The older I get the more I hate winter.

[ViperSmith]

lol, man - those are some damned cold temps

[CHAP]

Weather for tomorrow : 6 inches of snow :(

[VYPR BYT]

Exactly why I took up snowboarding years ago!

I can truly echo these words. I can't take this weather. I'm done! Literally, we've been planning a move and it'll be the southwest. Here we come.

Me: "Dad why did you chose to stay in Cleveland all these years?"

Dad: "Well it's just one of those things. You know, you go to school, then college then, get married, then have kids, then..."

Me: "Ok got it Dad, I got it."

Dad: "Yeah it just happens"

Me: "Ok I guess you will just have to visit me in Florida next year!"

Zoooooooom I was out of there at 18

LOL

[ACRucrazy]

Eh. Today was a heat wave. Currently -3.

[v10CodeMonkey]

I don't like the cold, but it's the dang wind we've been getting here the past couple weeks that I can't take anymore. Gusts up to 55+ mph, blowing our trampoline all over the backyard till it hits the fence and bringing windchills up to -35f. Then it warms up about 30 degrees for a day or so and plummets back into the sub-zero temps the next. Ready for a long, hot summer!

[AaronFL]

I am the biggest pansy about cold weather. I grew up in Michigan and moved to Florida after high school. Skiing and sledding were fun, but that was when I was a little twerp and didn't feel cold. When I turned 16, it was like a switch was flicked and suddenly cold 24/7. I knew I had to get out of the Midwest. Best decision I have ever made.

Stay warm my friends.

Arghh. Oh ya. Dont get me started about the FU?$@$G wind. Not only do we get the -35C cold but then throw a 60 mph wind into the equation. We had -59 C with the windchill a few weeks ago. You need to feel that once in your life just to know what we put up with here. And weve been getting that every damn week this winter it seems. I cant wait for summer. The mosquitoes get so bad they pick up small children and dogs and carry them away. What the hell am I doing here??? Lol

It's in the truck and should arrive in a few days... I will be the fifth or sixth person to actually get one. I'll let you know how it is when I get it but this will be my 5th side by side and this thing should be a hoot based on the reviews...

Polaris also came out with a new new machine just the other day, a totally unique single seater... Half the horsepower but still pretty quick and a lot less money too... Kinda like a 21st century awd Honda Pilot...

Mama went for a cruise yesterday before the superbowl, while I ran these beasts on the hose since they haven't been in the water since the viper has arrived....

[johniew398]

I'm also getting tired of it myself.

We don't normally get that much snow here but this year we've already had two - three pretty good storms.

Finally got tired of shoveling it and they are delivering this sometime this week. Couldn't really justify it because we have a short driveway so I told her I would plow the neighbors driveways too.

You'll love that thing. My wife normally works from home but she had to get out to an important meeting today and there was 5" of snow in my 400Ft+ driveway and my road wasn't plowed yet to the main street. I took my Rhino and 62" plow and did the driveway and a 1/2 mile road in 25 minutes.

[Rizzo]

Ya its amazing how much snow you can push with one of these things. I have a 500 Polaris with a 60" plow and I can do my driveway in no time as well as some of the neighbors too. last year I was on it every other day as we had a record snowfall for the winter. This year weve been lucky and haven't had much snow and I've only had to use the plow 2 times. Were just stuck in a permanent deep freeze. Coldest winter weve ever had as long as I can remember.

[98intrigue]

I must have the language setting set to Spanish because I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

After a weekend of skiing in NC in 40-50 degree weather, I'm headed back to FL where's it's supposed to be in the 80s today.

[Fatboy 18]

Rain, rain, rain here and heavy winds, lots of trees and Yard fences down.

[golfer15]

Only 47 months until I can spend my winters in the Dunedin/Clearwater FL area. I too, am tired of this crap. They are calling it a "classic" winter in our neck of the woods. Ten days of -18 C (0 F) or colder in Jan. alone, one in 2012/13 and not one in 2011/12. Snow on the ground since Dec 9th, with another 25+cm (10") on the way in a few hours.

I know that feeling. When I got my ACR it showed up in november and I drove it up the driveway and didn't get to drive it again till the following March. My incredible wife was nice enough to chip off the ice on the driveway while I was at work so I could get the car up the driveway when it showed up. This was also an extra special day as we had found out that we were pregnant with our first as well.

I'll chim in from sunny AZ!!! All this talk of Florida and Socal, don't forget the valley of the sun! I put 30 miles on my car on Tuesday. Was almost warm enough to take the top off.....at least for me. I've been here over a year now and can't stand temperatures that are below 50. I was born of for the sun! All you northerners are welcome to come to the desert for some winter fun!

I bet you got some funny looks. I too take my 03 out in winter, but only if the roads are clear and dry. She's been sitting 3 weeks now, and looks to be another week at least here in Suburban Philly (Chester County). Road are dry, but potholes, storm debris, and salt. No Bueno today.

[swolff]

14-22 is a little over generous. The potential is there, whether the cold is or not is another thing. Since its a 2 LP nor'easter it will draw warm air in from the south. Will be a wet/heavy snow. Could be 14-22 if it was a light powdery snow but I doubt it. S. Jersey will be more rain. I could still see over a foot to philly though. Unless thats including snow on the ground from the past 2 storms since last monday

Well either way, getting the Raptor ready for more tomorrow night then

[Fatboy 18]

Not so much Snow in the South of England but the wettest weather since records began(over 2 hundred yrs ago), South West of England severe flooding, coastal railway lines washed away cutting off S/W England from the rest of the country, miles and miles of flooded land and homes, rivers bursting their banks. In the Greater London area the river Thames has burst its banks in areas, Windsor area (near Heathrow Airport) is under water with thousands of people told to evacuate their homes and many, many homes under water, businesses flooded and there's more to come, much more!

Luckily I'm on very high ground, but I feel for the thousands that have lost their homes :(

Here's warm weather pics to keep you guys from going crazy. It was 75 degs here yesterday, and I took the snake to the gym, and then over to the Port of Canaveral for some pics the new Port Of Canaveral Greeting Center in the background. And the snake is in need of a bath in these pics! Enjoy...
