Default Will Spring Ever Get here??

Man, I thought I heard possible flurries and or rain this week. Were just on the trailing edge of winter. Will spring get here already???

There are alot of events I would like to attend. Alot of projects I would like to do. Not to mention I want to cruise with the targa top off!

Ok so I felt the need to rant a little, as I sit here frustrated that spring is taunting and winter is hanging on. I'm off to do some paper work.

I know....

Spring is here! It was official a couple of days ago I believe! That is why it snowed here in Michigan!

I don't know about you Ohio guys, but we are having a 61 degree day today and possibly in the low 70's tomorrow here in the windy city. I hope this weather reaches you guys and the n/e coast in a hurry...this winter has been terrible to us all.
