The Winter that will not End

I am normally not one of those people who are complaining about the weather.  I always figured that if people can't handle a Minnesota winter, they should move somewhere else...Indiana, or Missouri, or somewhere a little wimpier in its winter.

And really, our winters have come down in intensity in the last 20 years too.  I don't want to sound old when I say this (though I will), but I remember typically 2-3 seriously kick-butt winter storms/blizzards every winter when I was growing up.  There would be a run on the grocery store...people would stock up on batteries...and the snow would come and would turn country highways into "chutes" after the plows went through.  

I seriously don't remember the last time that happened.

So, all that being said, I don't want to come across as too wimpy.  BUT...would this winter just END please?  I mean, for Pete's sake, it's April 10!  Our lawn was green...well...er...crud gray... at noon today.  Now it's back to white.  

After I get back from Jamaica every late March, I'm pretty much ready for spring to begin.  HELLO!  It's April 10 today!  Any time now...

Ok, I'm done griping.
