I hear ya! I put mine away November 1st. We've had 90+ inches of snow this winter so my goal is to have her out by the 4th of July 
She's been on the Battery Tender all winter and I have started her up a few times. I've got my new Vararam intake and MagnaFlow catback exhaust with X - pipe to install when it starts getting a little warmer.
I can't wait

I truly feel for all my Corvette brothers and sisters in the great white north. I never have to put it my '01 away here in Florida. Today is in the upper 70's to low 80's.

Have March and April to finish before it will come out of hibernation. Keep it in a climate controlled facility and stop by every so often to admire. When the rocks and boulders are off the road - WATCH OUT

Hey man, I used to live in Fort Wayne and It was a cool place back in the "60s". W.O.W.O. and all that, but the winters sucked big time. We used to hang out at Azars drive in and Ron Hadley had the fastest car in town! It was a blown c-2 Vette and he even won the nationals in modified sports. The big speed shop was Dave Furthmillers. My brother had a 52 M.G. with a small block chevy in it that was pretty fast! Hot about those Fort Wayne comets?

I know exactly how you feel. Mine has been in hibernation since before Thanksgiving and I'm certainly ready to get it out on the road.

Here's my rule: If the garden hose is thawed out enough to spray off the grime: that means it is now the time.
Break it out now, you Sir, on the road would indeed be: " the first green of Spring ".
Yesterday's snow melted off the black top by noon, I went out for a long Sunday drive.

This is my 34th year putting my car away for the winter. Sorry to have to tell you that it doesn't get any easier. BUT....it's like getting a new car every spring. Hang in there.
Hang in there.
