Snow!

Post by racycle »

Well we had about 3inches last week and it just started back up 2 hours ago. Already at about 4inches. How is everyone else doing with the snow if any? Frankly I hate it!!

Please don't tap on the hood. It disturbs the gerbils.

I live in WA and it's usual to have lots of snow here (east side of WA, as west side doesn't get much) It's unusual not to have lots of snow here. Couple winters ago we had so much snow that some roofs collapsed, houses, businesses, grocery stores. They hired bunch of people to shovel snow off of the roofs. I did mine myself, it was almost to my waist line on the roof in spots.

We saw our first snow (that stayed) a couple days ago for the season. I think we have a total of about 2 inches at the most. And I thought I was going to be able to drive the mx all winter long, haha!

It has been a strange winter for us here, I live I. A snow belt of lake affect snow from Lake Michigan, but we get dumped in with snow. Then soon after it gets 50 then rains... Snow melts then we get dumped on again...

So it been a snowy icy rainy mess all winter... I wish Michigan would just pick one!

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Boo cheater man with the AWD, I find it to be a challenge in my FWD focus... Not in a bad way thoe I think it is fun to have a little slip with the ride. Never been in the ditch yet (knock on wood)

FYI rained last night... Now frozen... I don't care what you are driveing FWD, AWD, 4x4, or RWD. You can't drive on black ice ;)

We got plenty of snow here in Quebec! The banks were at high as my rental Fiat last weekend

FWD was too easy in the snow. The truck is naturally RWD, so it's driftorama on any corner cause it's fun. 4x4 is only for deep snow

It was funny working in VA. We were a bunch of Canadians working down there and one day there was snow. Everyone from there stopped to look and play and throw snowballs like it was a big deal. Us, well, we just looked, and kept working, lol.
