Mid-50s and sunny here in NoVA this weekend, good time to get the yard cleaned up from the snow/ice damage to foliage.

Strange, you have the same weather and plans as me. Got a Dogwood and a Bradford Pear that are more down than up. :sad: I'd also like to pull the hard top, but I have to wait for a car cover - birds have been way too active in my neighborhood. :censored:

It has been in the 60s all week and more days of this temperature promised.
Lot of convertibles running around with the tops down during the day but as soon as the sun is down the temp drops quickly.
Got most of the yard all cleaned up of winter's dirt. One more big chore to do, pressurize the sprinkler system. Always apprehensive as each valve takes on the pressure and each sprinkler head blows out the air. Never know what will break over winter's rest.
For our liking it is still a few weeks early to take off the HT.

It's about time Martin, I have been driving mine for well over a month now...
I'm not far from you and only got 1 small snowfall in February and 2 little ones in January...
And ony one in December. I could have went the whole winter just shoveling once in December, but used the blade 4 times...

It has been great motorcycle weather here in the sunny Okanagan for the past two or three weeks. Rain is forecast for Thursday and Friday, then more sunny days. Hope to get the plates on the bird for April 1st.
We get very much the same weather as Mike in Richland, except for the FOG!!
They get it, we don't........ha ha .
We both live in great cities!!
Cheers,

Brought ours home last night. Sweet ride down the highway.
A young man and girlfriend followed us off at our exit, pulled up beside us at the light, said nice car and when the light turned green, made a U-turn and got back on the highway.

Every thing is leafing out, some pretty strongly. However, after a week of 70s last week, this week has been rainy and 50s-60s. Forecast for after Easter is back to sunny and 70s. Maybe we have had the last of the rain until October.

It was nice while it lasted, March's weather that is.
Today the mountain passes between the east & west sides of WA State are covered in snow CHAINS REQUIRED!!!. Yikes!!!
Usually all chains and studded snow tires must be gone by April 1st. Now the DOT is extending the removal date to the 10th.

The weather forecast called for 82 degrees and sunny on Thursday, April 15th (tax day). Perfect top down cruising day, so along with a friend's '57 TBird, we took the Cashmere and cruised from Grosse Ile to Lexington MI. Saw a high temp of 85 in Port Huron as we passed the local Tea Party gathering. Best way to escape the tax day blues!!
