We're super low here too, but I'll gladly take it. We were still getting snow in may last year, so I think we deserve it.

**** right man. Last year was brutal. I ended up taking a trip to Jamaica in MAY of all months because I couldn't take it anymore. This year I'm going to Mexico...but leaving TOMORROW!

Not to jack the thread, but of the participants here, who needs me to have a margarita or 6 on your behalf?

Jeebus!!! Another two feet by Tuesday and another possible big storm this weekend coming up. I'll be lucky if I'm driving my car in May.

Wow! So after this latest round of snow, I decided to really shovel out the mustang. I've been periodically taking snow off the car but not as much as I thought I was. After getting to the last shovelful the front of the car jumped up about an inch! I have to clear it out because of the next possible two big storms coming into the Boston area.

That's sad. Salt looks so terrible on a black car. I'm doubly fortunate to be able to keep my black Mustang in the garage and have another car to use in this weather. Not every is so lucky to have 2 cars.

Whatever you do, NO CAR WASH!!!!!!! Love your wheels, by the way....even if they are disgustingly filthy!!!!

Thanks man. Yeah def no car wash. At least not an automatic one. I have a real nice manual wash by my house. Great pressure and hot water then spot free rinse. It takes 95% of that corrosive poison off then I spray the wheels with soapy water and wipe off with paper towels. Jet black spray and microfiber towels work great after that if you want. Will not scratch or swirl. Then when it's warm enough she gets a nice hand wash

My car is buried again. Blizzard here in Boston again. Was supposed to be 6-12 but it's turning out to be a blockbuster again. 18" or more. I'll take pics of my poor car. Next year I a garage.

I really feel bad for you folks in New England.

I realize it's kind of late now, but for those who don't have garages and whose Mustangs aren't DD's, have you considered a self storage facility during the winter? There's one in just about every town her in north Jersey and many have units that will accomodate a car.

Next year I'm going to definitely park the car in a storage unit. This year I didn't think I would have to worry about 100 inches of snow. My car is in my driveway parked with the cover so it's not so bad, it's not seeing salt. I've had it!

If you know someone who wants to do the same, you might be able to get a double sized unit for two cars. It's probably cheaper than two single units and you can split the cost.

I really feel for you guys out east/midwest. I got plants poking through the soil already. However, mother nature can always change her mind and dump on us out here, so i'm not convinced it's early spring just yet

Yeah it really sucks right now. But it looks like it's going to warm up a little bit next week into the 30-40s. Hopefully the snow starts to melt.

That's a good idea. Thanks.

This is my biggest worry. My neighbor's house. I need to remove that icicle tomorrow. It's freaking me out. I have some shovels right below it on my car. 0_0

Can't quite get at it even stepping on snow. I'm worried about knocking it down and becoming the next Darwin Award winner. I'm confident now that my shovels and snow pack will protect the car. If it falls its going straight down. I was worried with no snow near the car once it fell it might topple toward car. The brutal cold is here for another week at least.

We got 6" last night. I know that's not that much but it's 6" more than I'd like. Not getting out today but I have to go to work tomorrow. So long clean car. Hello two tone salt and black mustang again. The thing that really ticks me off is it's going to be way below freezing for at least the next 10 days

48 degrees and good chance of rain here in central Indiana on Sunday. I will have to get the Mustang out after the salt is all washed away!
