Beautiful Porsche weather in NE Ohio

...... not for a couple of months at least. We were hit with a pretty decent storm overnight. Needless to say not too much Prosche driving going on around here. I can't wait until spring.

I feel for ya! We had about 2 1/2 feet of snow locally, which made the drifts on the house and garage about 4-5 feet deep!
It took me about an hour to clean off the driveway, and another hour to clean up the MOUND of snow and ice at the end of the driveway put there by the city plows!

Not alot of snow here (just had 6 inches today), but it's really, really cold.

Build a fire. I'm sure with all those tornadoes you have some branches to rub together

Jeremy, don't you grow weary of continually searching the Off topic subjects looking for any place to stick your weather forcast? Personally, I love the snow. It keeps away the idiots!

Eh, not warm enough for me, but it'll do. I've wanted the removable hard top for my Z4 for a while and finally found a used one at a fair price in FL, but he won't ship it. This Saturday, I'm driving down from Chicago, hoping I'll make it to south FL by Sunday afternoon. I'll pick up the top, turn around and try to drive to KY the same day, spend Monday with relatives and drive back to Chi on Tuesday morning. I was hoping to do some top down driving on the way in, but 60s a bit chilly.

2 1/2 feet...poor baby! We got probably over 4 feet here! In a way it's cool, because I haven't seen snow like this since I was a kid. I work at home and my wife's on maternity leave, so it was no big deal being snowed in, but on the other hand it reminds how long it'll be until the toys come back out. I dreamed about my car last night - is this something I should seek help for?

I see the snow has sapped your sense of humor - my kids would love to be up there playing in the snow - and you guys can all bust my chops when hurricane season hits.

Two days after the storm and not all of the roads are clear.

More snow on Friday and Saturday.

Then it hits 40º on Monday and stays there.
