You are definitely off my Christmas Card list--temps are dropping, it is snowing to beat heck outside. bleak outlook for the next few days, roads are slippery, the poor Corvette is shivering, locked away with her blanket on for the remainder of the long cold winter.

yes you could call this major whining.
