Bill Clark Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I too am looking forward to the new class 04 and am bringing along my beater Met. I went to college at Norwich and going back to VT is like going home. If the forecast stays just showers, I should be there. If it gets worse, well....Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Maine Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Weather doesn't look promising. We're under one of those pesky upper level lows. Latest forecast doesn't show clearing until late Sunday/early Monday. Bring warm clothes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 NOAA's National Weather Forecast says Saturday partly sunny with a high of 75. Both Thursday and Friday the chance of showers is only 30%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlier Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Still kinda early to put much faith in the weather forecast but for those who are interested:US Weather Pages: USWX : Weather -> VT -> Stowe (05672)NOAA: 7-Day Forecast for Latitude 44.47N and Longitude 72.68WAccuWeather: Stowe, VT 05672 Today's Weather Forecast - AccuWeather.comWeather Channel: 5 Day Weather Forecast and Conditions for StoweWayne, So if the Board Meetings are on Thursday does that mean Board Members (like yourself) might be taking the Tour on Friday? No doubt we will cross paths like we seem to do at most meets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Charlie, with the Annual Meeting, 2 Meets, and two tours under my belt already, I don't even remember where Stowe is?????:confused:But yes, the meetings will be over Thursday and we will attend whatever is available on Friday and Saturday. I left the wife and a car home this time, so I don't have to worry about bringing home anymore antique furnature.See you there, Charlie!Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Boudway Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 We'll be driving up Thursday in Grace's '64 Corvair (repeat HPOF). Plan to stop to visit the museum in Saratoga Springs and arrive on Friday. Also trying to demonstrate to the wife that car meets can be fun.

jscheib Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Bill Boudway,An excellent chioce to stop at the Saratoga Museum. We were there this past weekend for the Saratoga Invitational and Car Shows (Europe on Saturday, American on Monday). It rained Sunday, but that gave us more time to see the cars inside.If you can spare a bit of time and have never been to Saratoga it is well worth spending some time to vsit the town, and horse track just to see those places. Lake George is also worth a bit of time. I hope the rain lets up for all those at the meet. Because of the trip to Saratoga and some other distance events, I decided to skip Stowe.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 37StudeDude Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Stowe's a great town to visit. We attend the August car show every year at Nichol's field. Looking forward to debuting our just finished 3 year restoration project...from rust bucket to concourse ready...1934 Ford Cabriolet.

charlier Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) For those concerned about rain take the forecast with a few grains of salt. The forecast I saw for "rain, heavy at times" for Tuesday evening and all day Wednesday was pretty far off the mark when it came to the route I took. I can only hope the forecast is just as inaccurate for Thursday when I finish the last leg of my trip from near Albany, NY to Stowe.FYI, anyone traveling the NY State Thruway going north try to avoid getting fuel at the Sloatsburg Travel Plaza. The cost of fuel there is about 22 cents more/gallon than the plazas to the north. I had to fill up at New Baltimore (last plaza before Albany) and paid $4.06. Much better than the $4.28 at Sloatsburg. Also, for those with trailers be advised that the Sloatsburg Plaza does not have all that much trailer parking.Safe Trip to all traveling on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.Weather Update: My trip from near Albany to Stowe on Thursday was nice and dry. Mostly cloudy with periods of sun.The Stowe area had more sun and white clouds. A little bit of drizzle here overnight Thursday.
