Getting her out this weekend

mousitch · 02-16-2011, 07:32 AM

Taking her out of storage early. High of 54 and sunny Saturday. happyanim:

Might be a month early but I can always wash her up on Sunday and throw the cover back on for another month.

- But... what is this "storage" you speak of?

We are having some excellent weather this week.. 60's at night and mid-70's during the day. Misty in the mornings on way to work, but afternoons have been top down weather all week!

Enjoy the weekend!

mousitch · 02-16-2011, 08:06 AM

Storage = Missouri +18" of snow and subzero temps. Not including snow plows, salt brine and inexperienced winter drivers.

Huz-Z · 02-16-2011, 08:26 AM

Here is my local forecast for today:

Today
Cloudy with 60 percent chance of flurries this morning and early this afternoon. Periods of snow and blowing snow beginning this afternoon. Risk of freezing drizzle this morning and early this afternoon. Amount 2 to 4 cm. Wind west 40 km/h gusting to 70 becoming northwest 70 gusting to 90 except gusting to 110 along parts of the coast late this afternoon. High zero.

Tonight
Periods of snow ending overnight then cloudy periods. Amount 2 cm. Blowing snow. Wind northwest 70 km/h gusting to 90 except gusting to 110 along parts of the coast this evening. Wind becoming northwest 50 gusting to 80 overnight. Low minus 6.

Supposed to be mid 50's here as well today! Not gonna get her out though. My insurance rates go up a lot when I have full coverage compared to when I have storage coverage and that is not worth just a few days (a tease if you will)

High of 74 today in Dallas.
Why couldn't we have had weather like this last week during Super Bowl Week!

Re: Daytona 500 this Sunday
I hear that they are actually providing a real seat with each Daytona 500 ticket purchased!

lstratos · 02-16-2011, 10:48 AM

I took her out last night.. gonna give her a good wash because there's a layer of dust storing it in the underground garage..

and i've been doing the same, it actually got into the 80's yesterday

Nikki · 02-16-2011, 12:03 PM

Rainy today and throughout the week but clearing up on Sun/Mon. Shouldn't be a bad 3-day weekend

ANUSTART · 02-16-2011, 12:07 PM

Sunny and in the mid 40s here in Chicago. Plan to turn up the heat and drop the top.

my truck was broken so I drove all "winter". it's been above 80 the past 3 days.

but glad she's able to come out and play!!!

ZStig · 02-16-2011, 01:30 PM

Mine would be on the road, since its in the 50s in philly, but my bumper is off, waiting for paint to come in for the reflectors on monday :/

bhoch · 02-16-2011, 02:22 PM

This threads makes the need to start to plan a meet /short drive/ eat soon. I think I get that going in the SW section.

mousitch - yeah - that's pretty cold. I would not want to have my roadster out in that either.

SteveInfante · 02-16-2011, 02:25 PM

I have also had the top down almost everyday since friday here in SC.

Lance_Goodthrust · 02-16-2011, 02:51 PM

I had my top down yesterday and today in Denver. High 60's.

RBull · 02-16-2011, 04:13 PM

Likely 6 weeks away from storage removal here.

Enjoy your baby Mousitch.

M_Six · 02-16-2011, 04:16 PM

It hit 63 here today. I'm not fooled, though. We have at least one more bout with winter left. And the roads are full of dirt and gravel. We need some good spring rains to wash the roads.

ShakyDog · 02-16-2011, 08:10 PM

I was really wanting to wait for a bit of rain to wash the salt off the road, but I am not sure I can hold out...

I'm expecting a little more snow sometime later this month or early March. Winter always teases us like this here.
