Drove mine to work today! Life is good in the south! Tomorrow will be cold but dry. That is how it usually goes.

Just changed the dash pod lights over to LEDs and washed and waxed the 07. Nice sunny day here. Going to get it all dirty tomorrow.

Meh, winter sucks in general.

In addition to not being able to drive the Vette, I hate the bitter cold, the dirty,sloppy, salted roads, being closed up in the house just staring out the windows, the endless hours of watching tv because it's too damn cold to do anything else, the salted and crusty vehicles you cant really clean because it's too damn cold, the fact that it's dark when you go to work and dark on the way home, shoveling snow...do I need to continue

About twelve more weeks till spring.

I'm jealous of everyone that lives in a warm climate at times like this.
We've had around 14" of snow this last week. The roads are terrible. I haven't had the Vette out in two weeks.......... I'm starting to get stressed out, irritable, can't sleep good, started watching soap operas late at night, I'm eating too much junk food, my left eye has started to twitch uncontrollably, I even put my socks on backwards this morning .......... Help!

I have the blues big time since this is my first winter that I've owned the car, but I think that this time without will make me appreciate it more.

100%

Mine's been hibernating since the end of October.

I just looked up yesterday when Easter Sunday is this year: April 5.

I'm hoping the salt will be washed off the roads by then, and the day is clear, so I can drive it to my sister's for Easter dinner.

EDIT: HEY "theblue": You're in Rochester? I'm near Canandaigua.

We are still waiting for winter to get here. No snow or ice yet. Had a good freeze that put all the plants into hibernation but my spider lilies are growing again.

The drab colors of winter is the most depressing part to me.

Can't wait to see green grass, trees and the colorful flowers again.
