Angry Is anyone else really getting sick of this F'ing weather?

I have a convertible.

I like to drive with the top down.

I need warm weather to do this.

Where the "F" is the warm weather?

Anybody in Florida want to let me live in their basement? Oh wait; those houses don't have basements. I guess I'm just destined to stare at my car and let it run just sitting there. It's so depressing to just look at your car and not be able to drive it. It has rained every day here for the past week. Today I had to scrape ice off of my windows because there was a ice storm this morning. A freaking ice storm at the end of March. I think I am the first person to ever crush one of those lil stress dolls.

I hear ya bro!

My car is in the paint shop and I want the nice weather to get here two weeks ago. I will be re-assembling my REX next week. But, with the possible snow that is coming, I may not be able to drive her yet.

DAMN WINTER ICE AND SNOW AND OTHER BAD ****

Is that all you've had to deal with? Hell it's snowed here, ice, rain, hail, been -20, all within the past week. I'd be happy with just rain! We still have snow

Thanks! that makes me feel a lil better. You guys with warm weather probably don't realize how lucky you are. Alot of people around here like the changing seasons because they like to ski and snowboard and stuff like that. But for a car nut; the snow is like poison. I kinda like some of the winter festivities too; but I would much rather travel somewhere for a weekend to get those thrills. I NEED SUMMER.

When I left Indiana, we were ice skating on the streets. I got off the plane in Jacksonville and the locals were gripeing about how cold it was at 45! That was 40 years ago. No way you're getting me back up there. Maybe one downside here - you have to mow the grass in March..

It's not luck, it's a choice.
I prefer to deal with 90-100 degree summers so I can still wear shorts at Thanksgiving.

I grew up in north-western NJ. After college in Florida, I decided to not move back. I lived real poor for 9 months looking for a good job meanwhile taking any shitty temp job I could get (some where REAL shitty). Finally I scored a full time job in my desired field and it's been sunshine ever since. While I would like to see my family more oftem, I refuse to live in that crappy weather to do it.

If you're living on your own, it's your own choice as to where you live. If you don't like where you live, pack up the U-haul and point it south.

Try living in......Alaska

We had very very little snow left, then in one day it snows 2 feet....and has snowed a couple times around 3".

I just want it to go away so I can enjoy pavement again instead of snow and ice.

I am not too upset with the weather, since my car is 1000 miles away (it's in NY and I am at school in IA), but I would really like to be able to ride my mountain bike without freezing my *** off.
