I'm in CR and while no snow (measurable) predicted the wind is somewhere in the 40+MPH sustained today and it's also raining just to pi&& me off.

I agree the winter long anticipation of spring arriving is kicking us, it's been a long wait to get behind the wheel.

I feel your pain. I just blew 12" out of my driveway and they're predicting another 4-6 by tomorrow night here in Minneapolis. I have about 1,000 more miles on mine, but it's been a tough five months looking at it covered in the garage.

Weather forecast going forward for the next several days doesn't look like anything to get excited about either.

Welcome to living in the upper Midwest!

Watched the Cubs/Braves game yesterday. although it was 80 degrees here in Tennessee, it was miserable there in Chi town. I was born and raised in Burlington Iowa, and I don't miss that weather one bit.

Light snow and windy here, and of course they're sanding and salting the roads.
