Lack of winter is almost WORSE than winter
 
I stored my Z in early December, since I have a relative with an open garage space who was willing to take it. It's now residing about 2 hours away so I can't just get it out any time. Well it turns out, winter in Iowa is nonexistent. I have had frost on my winter car's windshield a handful of times and it has never really snowed or been icy. All I can think is.... I COULD BE DRIVING THE Z. Today it's a high of 55 and sunny, no salt on the roads. It's killing me! Anyone else having this problem or are you midwesterners still driving?

dont worry. you will be clobbered by snow within 10days. :)

that is my estimation for my area... it's not going to just snow. it will blizzard with tornados and earthquakes and such. :eek:

This is punishment for the Iowan's support of Mitt Romney.

I thought I"d be garaging the car for winter which is already short in tx. But it hasn't happened yet. Lol. The lowets we've been for a high is 39 but that's like one day out of a 7 day week. The rest has been 50-70 degrees.

Same here man.. Put the Z away and took off collision insurance after thanksgiving and even went out and bought a 99 Jeep Cherokee winter beast, based on predictions for Chicago winter to be even worse than last year..

Its gonna be 50 fking degrees here tomorrow.. :shakes head:

Ouch. At least you're probably enjoying the Jeep though.

I might have to put my Summer tires back on for another 10 days :rolleyes:

My winter wheels have been waiting around in the garage... Normally they'd have been on a month ago. Avg. temps are down enough to put them on this weekend, though. They say we're supposed to have a very rough winter. :rolleyes:

50 degrees in the winter is like 80 degrees to us.

I miss NY winters(more or less seasons), but i like driving my car all year too. So hard to choose.
