Looking for a Weather Window
As Cavallino approaches in January,
I'm making preparations to get my
car to Florida. We've had an exceptionally mild winter so far here in
Upstate New York, but I know things can turn nasty very quickly. I
decided to try and take my 330 America to Maryland and park it in
Radcliffe
Motorcars where my friend Richard Garre can look after it
until I drive it the rest of the way to Palm Beach in the third week in
January. Getting my car out of the Northeast will avoid the majority of
the sloppy stuff, and with some luck, the drive down in January will
have less weather drama.
I've been watching the weather closely for the past week or so, trying
to coordinate a good time to drive down and catch a train back home.
The problem is weather forecasting seems to be getting worse, not
better! There doesn't seem to be any more reliability in the forecasts
further than 24 hours out. With each passing week I got closer to
getting snowfall, so I had to commit to something soon. I decided to
choose Monday the 7th of December to make my journey, but driving down
with clear roads may not happen. On Saturday afternoon, the snow began
to fall at my house, and by evening we had 6 inches of snow on the
ground! The weather on Monday still looks O.K. to drive, but I hope
most of the roads will dry by then.
Wish me luck!
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the Tomyang.net pledge drive so
far. Your support lets me know I'm not just doing all this work in
vain! I appreciate your pledges, and it always reinvigorates my efforts
to building this website for continued enjoyment for us all!
Just a reminder, I'm
looking for a
new Vintage Ferrari Project. If you have, or know of a restoration
project, please let me know. It would be great to restore another car
on this website! My E-mail.
