Winter storage more than half over

Counting the days until the Camaro comes out of winter storage... Even though a snowstorm is predicted for tomorrow here in the northeast U.S., we're entering the downhill half of winter storage.

I stored mine on Nov 28 2020. Plan to take it out of storage on Mar 27 2021. That's 119 days in storage. Today is day #64, with 55 to go.

Officially, winter is 90 days long, from Dec 21 to Mar 20. Today is day #42 of winter, and this Wed Feb 3 will mark the midway point. And Groundhog day is this Tuesday - the traditional reminder of winter nearing its end.

Obviously miss driving it, but I know it's for the best when I see the salt and dirt marks on other cars in this sub-freezing weather.

I too miss driving mine,maybe it’s an age thing as well,at 59 the sand dial is not right side up anymore

The 300 SRT and wagon with a T56,4:56 gears LT-1,as well as one hearse never see action from November to May either,

Sorry about sideways pictures,what am I doing wrong?

What a shame to garage it. I drive mine most days.

Our roads here were dry and clear of salt till about three weeks ago. I drove mine until then, even in the 32 degree weather. Sadly we just got ten inches of snow today, look out you guys on the east coast...its coming.
