I Can't Wait!

Maybe its a good thing I'm 11 hours away.

Calling for snow...

BUT Not much..I don't think travel will be bad.

What's A Little Snow...

...compared to 4 buildings of goodies! We have 4WD trucks anyway.

 

[sfh074]

Weather for Charlotte tomorrow morning shows a snow advisory for 1-2 inches. Is this meet still on from 10am till 2ish? Thought I would just check the status before making the haul from Atlanta.

Not trying to snow on the party,however------

NC Governor is saying to stay off the roads. Especially expressways as the state lacks the equipment to quickly clear snowy roads. He specifically warned not to expect a "rescue" if you get stuck as the State nor Local Police have the manpower to help out those who don't heed his warnings. Best have a back-up plan if you get stuck somewhere. Just 'sayin.

North Carolina Snow

All weather reports from the middle of the state thru the east & south is predicting snow warnings. It appears that Rockingham will be getting snow.
Rich is suppose to talk with Mrs. Jones later and give an update. I'm not going to try it at all tomorrow. Rich may go on up and take pics & get an idea of what is actually there.

I would like to go as well, however, our forecast is not too good either. It isn't 8 inches of snow that bothers me . It's the ten degree temperatures that will follow. They started salting all the roads here last night. Yeah, the salt melts the snow, but then the cold turns it into ice. Not kool.

 

[firedome]

snow in NC...

my folks lived in Greensboro NC for 8 yrs, both having been born & raised in Melrose Mass 1920s to 50s. When NC got an inch or 3 of snow folks tended to go absolutely berserk, having little to no snow removal equipment, no snow driving experience and no proper snow tires, much less the studded tires we Northern New Englanders truly love. Be careful!!

Saturday's "Mini-Meet" Postponed

Guys,

I just spoke with Mrs. Jones and she'd like for us to wait until next Saturday, same place, same time. I think this is best anyway as the forecast is calling for freezing rain in that area. Snow is okay, but no one can go on ice.

Rich

When it snows in New England and the vehicle starts to go into a spin, the driver will say

"Hey, Hold my beer and watch this : )

 

[frigidaireguy]

A VERY GOOD IDEA

I think Mrs. Jones made the correct calling on this. The snow has started here now and is suppose to fall thru tomorrow morning. Temps are going to be very low and like Rich said no one needs to drive on ice. Everyone be safe and we will plan for next weekend.
Bob

 

[norgeway]

Sounds good

No need to take a chance!!

 

[firedome]

"hold my beeah and watch this!"....

LOL... oh yeah, when it was "wicked cold" and we had REAL snow back then, miss those days! Remember putting on the tire chains? haven't heard that jingle sound in 50 years!

 

[moparwash]

Slightly off topic...

Great 58 Windsor in your pic, Firedome!

Ron Jones estate

Hopefully I'll be able to be there this coming Saturday morning, I'm only bringing a minivan as there's a little I need but if there's anything I can do to help his parents deal with this stuff it would be great and hopefully I'll buy some stuff and help them out cash wise.

Looking forward to seeing everybody hopefully the weather will be better than it was this weekend.

 

[trainguy]

John,

It'll be nice to see you again.

You don't happen to have a 62 Kenmore 70 series washer do you?[this post was last edited: 1/9/2017-20:07]

 

[firedome]

62 Kenmore...

Wow, my Mom had one almost exactly like that for many years... brings back good memories!

"Moparwash" thanks, that one went to Sweden a couple years ago, to be replaced by another '58 (my favorite year) an Olds Super 88. Had a '58 DeSoto before that (hence my AW.o "handle"),

Good luck at the NC "meetup" folks! Nice of everyone to help out Ron's parents!
Would love to come and get a pink or yellow '58 FD 40" range, but....

Would LOVE more photos of the Super 88!  Before I learned to drive my parents had a 98 of this vintage.  It also was a 4-door sedan.  Unfortunately for me, they traded it off before I got even my learners' permit.  Ours had problems that my dad could neither repair nor explain, and we were not in a position to take it to the dealer or other such "real" mechanic.  Those were awesome automobiles.

Thanks Lawrence -

we call it the "Road Locomotive". Here ya go, plus what she'll look like after the color change:

 

[pulltostart]

Roger

Thanks for the photos!  So you're going with the lavender - a great choice.  And only 58,000 miles!  It appears to be in great shape.  Keep us posted with the progress, please.

Did you guys meet today?

I'm just up in Virginia and just found this thread tonight (I haven't been on the forum since before Christmas, unfortunately). Did anyone get the 1963 refrigerator? If it is non-working, I would love to buy some parts for my 1963 Frost Proof Imperial. Thanks!
