Moochfeast under heavy snow

[metalmaker12]

It looks like it is going to snow 1-2 feet Friday-Satuarday on our Moochfeast:mad:

[michael everson]

Hmmm. Maybe they will reschedule?

[FFinisher]

12 inches of snow is my limit. I can't drive the roadster in a foot of snow.

[Mechie3]

Good thing the 818 is AWD. :troll:


;)












(please....nobody take the bait......lol)

[Hayai]

Bummer! I'm from michigan, but I'm going to be in the Boston area this weekend for a job interview! The company is giving me a rental car, and I have the interview on Friday and I have saturday to explore; so I'm planning on driving down in the morning for Moochfest! I want to see the 818 in person.

Well played, sir. :D

[Arrowhead]

I was postponed last year also becuase of weather, but it turned out to be just kind of wet and gloomy.

[RM1SepEx]

snow isn't for sure right now...

but I have out of state visitors this weekend and will be in Tampa next weekend... so sadly I'll be getting second hand info and waiting for my latest pre-order update.

[bil1024]

Will be checking this thread throughout the day, sucks I lose money on hotel

[spaceywilly]

Yeah it appears the storm will be at it's worst from Friday midnight until around 1pm Saturday. I for one am always down for a WRX rally drive through several feet of snow, but given the circumstances I think it will probably have to be postponed.

[metalmaker12]

It is looking like 6 to 12+ wet nasty snow in the Wareham area with 45mph gust. Blizzard conditions for sure

We’ve been following the weather forecasts, and with talk of a potentially historic snow storm on Friday night, we have decided to postpone this weekend’s Winter Open House (Moochfest) til next Saturday, February 16th.

With a couple of different forecast models, there is still uncertainty about whether we will get 1″ or 15″. We understand that folks travel to the event from all over New England and beyond, and it looks like no matter what, there will be a lot of difficult travel and potential delays this weekend. Safety first!

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday, the 16th, from 9 am to noon, and crossing our fingers for better weather!

If email is down Dave told me he would personal drive my message to me with this. I took this at the northeast auto show in Providence last weekend

[wallace18]

Boy I am glad I went up to FFR on the 4th . I just missed this weather coming up there.

[Mad Dog]

We're still planning to send out a mass e-mail either this afternoon or tomorrow. This includes a Factory Five mass e-mail to all of our customers as well as one with an 818 update for everyone who has placed a pre-order.

[Mechie3]

:D :D

(apparenty if I don't write anything else, it auto downsizes my capital D's and ruins the smiley.)

[Erik W. Treves]

Well, the most important thing is for you all to get ready for that snow! We'll still be here after the storm... Stay safe.

[metalmaker12]

Oh boy 18-24 and locals of 2-3 feet, great cause were I live is like 700 feet above sea level, bring it on

[AZPete]

I got an email saying the Winter Open House has been re-scheduled for February 16th.
Or, you could come to Scottsdale. I'm writing this outside on my patio. Just sayin'.
