Come up here to Minnesota in January (if you have the nerve) and I'll show you what and why we do "winter storage"! LOL!

This storage word for which they speak is good...If not, your standards on a minimal rust body lower with every car you see.

Webster's definition of winter storage: New England Version for those of you unfamiliar w/ the term.

A point at which an auto enthusiast begins a panic stricken attempt to keep a vehicle out of the elements that have an adverse effect upon said vehicles aesthetic appearance or structural integrity & ultimate value. See also: Tarpaulins, Garages, Lean-too's, Barns, Caves & Bungee cords.

I'm just glad someone got the joke...

LOL! Sure wish I had the same perspective....

COURSE ... "winter storage" does keep SOME of the "car expenses" down, so it isn't ALL bad......

"I shiver when I see the falling snow" __ Merle Haggard __ 'If We Make It Through December'

Well.....winter in Eastern Mass this year was a joke (I'm not complaining). I think there was less than 10 days since December that the temp fell below 15 degrees. It's been 75+ for the last 4 days in a row and my winter jacket all this season was an insulated zip up hoodie. I think I took the snow blower out once when we got the one "bad" storm...a whopping 6". I could use a few more of these. Thank you Mother Nature!

Same here !!! Thank god ! It so nice out,now I know what it is like to live where there is no winter !
I like it !!!!

Same here in MN! I shoveled three times this winter...each snowfall being a paltry 2-3". Was visiting family in Phoenix the only week we had a couple days below zero. We've been setting record highs the past two weeks and wouldn't be surprised to hear the roar of lawn mowers within the week!

Same here in IL.

But, I couldn't take advantage of it. Had to put the MCs away early because of my 11/11/2011 open heart surgery, and we didn't have a major salt-needing snow until JANUARY. Now, we have gorgeous weather ... and I can't justify the expense of getting them out because I'm unemployed. Lovely...LOL!

"It's such a cold blow from out of the dark" __ Brooks and Dunn __ 'That Ain't No Way To Go'

I HAD winter storage for my Monte Carlo, but it went to my damn Grand Prix when the engine decided to spin a bearing. If all goes well this April, I'll have the GP back on the road and the Monte back in storage.

And speaking of winter, I mowed the lawn yesterday, since the weather has been warm, and today there is snow on it. And there was frost on my windshield today. And tonight it's supposed to be below freezing... again........around here if we don't like the weather, we just wait a few minutes....
