Default Effing Snow

Came out from my classes and found 4 inches of snow on my car, saddled it up and started to drive it home and was sliding everywhere. This is rediculous, first the cold weather and then its snowing like a ****. Had a hell of a time getting back from school today, without trac control I wouldve been in the ditch. Anyone else sick of this ****?

When will this crap end. I mean seriously, yes I know it's winter but this is no longer fun. Another month now before it all melts and the 12" of salt are washed off the roads!

Laid some nice black marks in the driveway today with the T/A when I backed it up a slight incline to shovel underneath it. I wish the snow would go away so I could actually drive it on the road again.

Totally agreed. That is just the worst feeling, when you start to forget just what it feels like to drive and F-Body in nice weather. Of course that also makes it that much nicer and more fun when you do finally drive it after waiting for so long.

I'm just tired of waiting.

It's true this winter has been mild overall, but this current streak of shitty weather has just been too much at one time
