Please, somebody make it stop!

I am sick of this $..ty winter. It snows every f......g day. We are runing out of room and the piles get higher and higher. I took my car out (into the driveway) just to try and cheer myself up, it helped a little.

There is a complete lack of dirt and oil in your engine compartment. You need to run it more often...

You car just messaged me, it wants to know why it like the rest of Canada is not sunning down here in FLA waiting out winter.

So you think that's a lot of snow? When I was a kid....... B-)

I was thinking, "man, there is no dust at all on that motor."

And besides, look whats happened to my good looks from staying indoors all the time. I used to be happy, had good vision, shaved every day. Now I have to wear these awful glasses and my nose has trippled in size from too much drowning my sorrows. The glasses don't seem to help much either. Not sure I can last till summer. Can't afford to live in Florida no matter what my car says. Snow shovels, winter footwear, cold freezing weather. Bah! Drat!

Your car looks sad. Get some snow tires and have some real fun.

Nor would you want to. A far better place to visit than live. Just about the time our cars come out of storage, their humidity kicks in & it lasts until we put them back into storage in November. My car was very happy to escape South Florida before it rotted.

Just kick back & throw some Stan Rogers on the stereo until late March . . .

The other day I saw a photo of a church bulleton board, (must have been back East), it read... "Whoever is praying for snow, please stop." LOL the sign was half buried in snow.

Already set a new low temp (-31F) and snowfall record here in OK. Granted it won't be of Vermont's standard, but still a record!
