Scott - I feel your pain. Even though I don't live in Minnesota I am in one of the M states that is also suffering through this miserable ass winter! Everytime I look at the weather and see more snow, sleet, freezing rain coming our way I have to cringe.

When we get snow I'm out at 6AM w/the damn snowblower (that's this bizarre gas powered machine you push which blows the snow off the concrete - for those of you in warmer climates who don't have to plop down cash for these damn things) clearing the driveway so my wife can make it to work. Often times I'm daydreaming about warmer temperatures and the calming breeze coming off a deep blue body of water. I can almost smell the intoxicating scent of coconuts and fragrant rum concotions...that's usually right before the wind picks up, shakes the limbs on the maple trees and drops a giant clump of snow down the back of my neck. That's all it takes to bring me back to reality...a reminder of the fact that I'm still stuck here in Maryland and that it's only March.
