My god, I got a ton of **** I want/need to do outside and in the garage but I can't with single digit temps and 5 foot drifts still in my yard! I'm over all the damn snow already. How about everybody else?

I've been tired of it since I have to work on my car outside laying on the cold *** ground and shoveling snow every other day drives me crazy.

I'm right there too. We started the headers and stall but we got the headers done and said **** this let's do it at the shop. I have a torpedo heater but I need my garage insulated first. It was supposed to get done the day after the blizzard. Lol so much for that.

I can't remember the last day where you could actually see the ground. I refuse to go out to the garage to work until the temps rise a bit.

I'm the complete opposite of everyone else, I love this weather and hate the heat of the summer.

Yea, this sucks. I dont have 5ft drifts, but my TA is parked in a friend's storage barn under a car cover... Its about 500ft from his house and blocked off by 3ft of snow drifts since he doesnt plow back to the barn.

I'm itching for the spring cruises... I'm hoping to have the TA back together by April

I actually am for once. Not been a good year for snowmobiling, totaled one around New Year's, and just seized the engine in another.
