Winter Anxiety

It is freaking freezing here in Ottawa and the snow just keeps coming. I normally don't dread winter or wish that it would end, but this year is different - I can't wait for Spring to come to the city. The cold weather, frigid wind and copious amounts of snow have lead to a very unhappy car.

It mutters mean things when it starts in the morning and has to sit around for 10-15 minutes before it can be driven nicely. It has no snow tires and therefore can't grip anything. If more than 5cm of snow falls overnight, I get anxious about whether or not the car will behave properly on the roads. It is even worse if I have to go to a site for work as they are usually construction sites and have no regular snow removal in place.

I can't wait for Spring 2009.
