corollaman,
First of all welcome to the forum, great to have you here. One thing to remember though is that a vast amount of people on this forum enjoy the lakes region and ALL the seasons. There are so many reasons to love winter as well as spring and fall.
Another thing to remember, regardless of a warm up or whatever happens this weekend, boating will not even be possible until mid April at the earliest. I would say that most of us would rather have deep snow cover, (Skiing, Snowmobiling, etc.) as long as we can. Ideally if we could flip a switch on April 1st and get rid of the ice and snow we would. Reality is that there is an "in between" period regardless of any little warm ups or rain spells that occur in early March. The in between period means no snow activities and no water activities for a couple of weeks, give or take. So forgive me/us if we do not share your opinion.
Suggestion, take up skiing or snowmobiling or even snow tubing, it makes the winter FLY BY!!!!!!!
