I'm originally from southwest NY, our average annual snowfall is about 120-150"!!! I've seen more cars in the ditch down here after one snow than I'd see in NY all winter.

Longhorn Man · 10-27-2008, 05:27 PM

wow... did I call that or what?
Today was the first snow fall of the season. It never stuck,not even to the leaves or cars... but it was there.

corn · 10-27-2008, 05:49 PM

Im mad...because you are right!

This is a cool pic thread & yes I just put mine away for the year about an hour ago.

straitnate14 · 10-27-2008, 07:33 PM

Well I plan to keep on driving mine until the 9th then I go to Ft. Sill unit dec then off to wounderfull afganistan but when I get back I'm moving to a better state, I hate IL

NO GARAGE!! Oh man and ice, snow, and bitterly cold temps. Now I am depressed for you. Especially since the burb was down most of the cruise season.

Bob 68327 · 10-27-2008, 10:06 PM

The wife and I got the 68 out tonight for a short cruise . We ran the heater good thing I left it hooked up . I don't want to give up after 7 years not driving it and this year driving the wheels off it. I will however have to put it to rest for the winter soon . I might try to drive it a couple more times if it doesn't snow . Takes forever to warm up with no choke and the single plane manifold it don't like the cold . But maybe one or two more cruises and maybe a few more pics before a winter's sleep . Gonna hang on as long as I can to the cruise season !!!! Bob

prairewolf · 10-28-2008, 06:43 AM

cool thread/story and pictures, I had my sub out for a month and a half so got to enjoy that,.... word around here is it is suppose to be a real snowy winter, so I may buy an older snowmobile with a big motor and get on with it.

Blue'72 · 10-31-2008, 05:24 PM

NOOOO!!! It can't be time to put 'em away yet! I'm just about ready to paint my bed so I can put it back together. Dang it if it didn't start raining on me last night right after I started wiping it down to spray some paint on it...

71BB_LWB · 10-31-2008, 05:39 PM

Well it's finally getting nice here in Arizona, so our season is just starting.

If only my truck was running!

Jtrux · 10-31-2008, 06:29 PM

I love San Antonio, I was wearing shorts all day working around my house outside. Forget that cold crap, I won't ever be living there.

68,69 K20 · 10-31-2008, 07:19 PM

Cruise season??? I'm confused??? What's that??? Not enough classic iron left here in NY for a cruise season

**leddzepp** · 10-31-2008, 08:12 PM

Great pictorial...bummer about cruise season being over. Just talked to my brother-in-law in Columbus, and he said the snow is coming!

72-c20 · 10-31-2008, 09:39 PM

yeah, I'm probably putting my Firebird away this weekend, for the winter, but will be using the '72 during the winter some....

68C15 · 11-01-2008, 07:08 AM

sad to say but the cold is coming. not much longer and I will take the skids off the Honda and slap on the studded snows. then I will fill the back of the 68 with snow/ballast.
on a good note my step side hasnt seen snow for 2 years now. but it hasnt seen daylight either. just a pile of parts stashed away in the MIL's garage.
