Don't give up just yet. The snow may be here today, but also will be gone tomorrow. Forecast is 38 degrees and sunny on Tuesday. Maybe there will be snow on Thursday, but easily could be gone by Saturday. Forecastfox weather says Friday and Saturday are going to be sunny, though chilly. Check back to this thread on Friday and then Saturday morning. Michigan weather ALWAYS changes fast -- so Saturday easily could be a great day to get together for a few hours.

Here's my first update about the weather. Acuweather.com and the weather guy on the radio says today (Friday) will be partly sunny/cloudy and chilly, with the high in the mid to upper 30's. Saturday should be much of the same, though a bit colder. The weather will change to rain and maybe snow later Saturday evening and continue on Sunday. So, I think unless it changes significantly that Saturday early afternoon (noon to 4 pm) will be a good window for us to meet. Dress warm (gloves, hat) cuz you know we'll be outside looking at everyone's cars and talking modifications, etc. Hope you can come by for a few hours. I'll leave another email about the weather Saturday morning. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. There will be donuts and hot coffee, hot chocolate, etc.

Best thing to do is MapQuest the location.

1265 Harwood Circle, Saline, MI 48176

We are south of Ann Arbor. Even though the mailing address is Saline, we are not in Saline, but four miles east of Saline along Michigan Avenue (U.S. 12) and one mile west of U.S. 23. The subdivision is Warner Creek.

As I said, the best thing to do is MapQuest. It's easy to find.

(Right now, at this moment, the sun is shining, but it's chilly and there's a bit of wind. Dress warm and it would be fine to be outside. We'll see what Saturday is like.)

Believe it or not, as of now I am still planning on being out tomorrow. I bet that I will be one of the first arrivals, as I have to scoot no later than 1:00PM, especially if the weather looks like it might take a turn for the worse. Hope that I will still get to meet some great people&cars.

Unfortunately I had to put my snows on last night because I was worried about the weather which will probably pay off in the end. So my Enkei's are already wiped down and stored in the basement.

See everyone tomorrow!

SO SORRY ... no hot tub! Sure do wish I had one. I think it will be sunny and COLD. Dress warm, have a cup of coffee, and you'll be fine. See ya tomorrow.

Ray, if you want to bring anything for snacks, you are welcome to do so. I'll have donuts and coffee. I tried to find an outdoor area heater, one of those propane gadgets, but none of my friends around here has one. Nephew on the west side of Michigan has two -- but I don't feel like making a 5 hour round trip.
