Default Is winter ever going to end? WTF!

As the title says, is this ever going to end WTF?! It was snowing on the way home from work today. I've got such a bug to pull the car out and start getting it ready for the Spring, but the forecast looks crappy for the next several days.

I can't wait to see your C4.....uh, I mean GT.... err, I mean SS back on the road again! Things change so fast that I can't keep up.

When the glacier melts off my driveway, I might have to think about pulling a car outside. I've got a few oil changes to do.
