Uh oh, it might be time to get the shovels and snowblowers ready!

I was just looking on the Accuweather forums and one of the latest model runs was showing a huge storm sitting just off the coast and lingering in the Sun-Mon time frame. And with the cold air in place, it could be a lot of snow! The good news is that it's showing it this early which means I'm sure it will change before we get to the weekend. It will be interesting to see how the local news shows their 7 day forecasts. But it would be pretty cool to have a white Christmas. 3-4" would be fine, not 15-20".

They aren't forecasting it yet, it's just the message forums where people are discussing the models. Last year I needed to know how bad the snow would be with the SS being my daily driver. This year I don't really care now that I have the truck, but snow will definitely mess up my golf game! I've played every week going back to early October.

I think it was 24 degrees in Orlando for the morning low this past week. Might have to move very far away.

Forced induction loves cold weather. Maybe that steers you back northward.

i just drove the V through blizzard conditions last night up by syracuse in order to go pick up the title for my Durango. Ive seen enough snow up here in upstate ny the past 3 winters to satisfy me for 15+ years...

From reading some of the information this morning, they still don't have a good idea of what this potential storm will do. The data that feeds the models has been questionable which has most of the models sending this storm out into the Atlantic with us getting nothing. They won't get good data to process until tonight it appears. We had a nice little instant blizzard yesterday morning and got a quick coating in 10 minutes.

Looks like we're gonna luck out on this one and it's staying to our south and east. The shore areas may end up getting some snow but probably not too much.

Wouldn't have that issue if you bought good ones once and kept 'em lubed properly.
