Is this winter ever going to end



Can't wait to get the cars out, I've got to buff up the 911 for sale, waiting for TPMS sensors to arrive so I can put my new Fikse wheels on the Cayman and get it ready for spring, not to mention clean out the garage due to using my chop saw in there from working on the basement all winter.

Every time I get ready to bring the cars out it snows again...

I think this weekend I'll make the final push to get them out and pray for nicer weather.

Spring in Canada eh!

I agree. Still snow on the ground here. Now I understand why some folks are snowbirds. Tending to spend a bit more time in Cal/Ariz. each year during fall and winter.

I don't mind too much since I'm not exactly ready...

The mechanical conversion is done, next is the electrical.

I'm a little more south than you guys but I also am ready for some warmer weather.

Snow is gone but we're supposed to get a little more.

Overcast, cool, & damp - situation normal here for this time of year. Easter weekend was bloody glorious - actually managed a bit of a sunburn - had the top down.

Woke up to snow on the ground here this morning. Snow pack in my area is 118% and I live on a riverfront property. Oh Oh.

Our so-called snowmageddon came down as ice pellets and freezing rain so not much new accumulation at my place. Most of it has melted away already. The salt trucks were back out again however which delays my spring awakening until this week's forecasted rain washes the roads back off.

Should be 65 here today. Working on my interior in the driveway and then a long drive for the 2.7 to enjoy some cool, dense air. Of course, talk to me in August...
