It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

wow, tahts a hell of a lot of snow :) It was 80 degrees here today and 90 yesterday.

Hehehe :)  I have a similar experience:


Crappy phone picture, I know.  That's outside of where I work at ~11:30 this morning (Networks might recognize the intersection of Greenfield & Guadalupe :P)

All the traffic and stuff was slow as crap today, but at least it's moving.  Yesterday, busses weren't running, and there were cars stuck everywhere.  And we're a city where we're used to snow :)

[iago]

Woo, I got to drive today for the first time since snow.  Driving is fun :)

The plows (ploughs? whatever) do the main streets, but they leave a pile of snow at the edge, so turning onto big streets is fun.  Unless you drive a 4-wheel drive vehicle, you have to take a run at it to get over, but it's also slippery, so you have to regain control.  It's fun++, but so dangerous :)

lol! I wanna try!!!

Driving with a stick when it's slippery outside is hella crazy.  While I am driving, and I go from neutral to first gear, I skid or a squeel like crazy!  That's the only bad part of snow, and rain.  I think I just need an automatic, while I was learning how to drive, I drove an automatic, and while in the snow it was a lot easier to manuver... But it was also four wheel drive, whereas my car isn't.. *sigh*  But like you said ron:

It's fun++, but so dangerous

4wd makes driving on ice/snow so easy that it's not fun. 

I forgot to mention the worst thing: getting stuck.  I HATE getting stuck in the snow/ice, it's so embarassing and hard to get out :(

It has snowed here. :-)

Well, I went for a bike ride last night.  It wasn't too bad when I was on the streets, but then I tried taking a pedistrian path and got owned.  I ended up walking it, because I would just sink.  But on the street, even icy areas, I was ok.  I don't think I'd be comfortable riding in heavy traffic, though :-/

[Towelie]

lol, get wheels made for snow then you can pwn it up in the snow

[iago]

The secret is to keep your tires at a low PSI.  Then they have more surface area = more traction.

We had snow last Wednesdayish, it melted, we have more snow tomorrow. :\

It only snows once maybe twice in January through mid February.  If it does snow we only get an inch or two. :(

Last year it didn't snow at all. :(

[Furious]

Yeah, I think the snow will own my car.

I'm gonna get gG'd :(

Oddly enough it hasn't snowed here yet this year. In the past years that I've lived here we have gotten atleast snowflakes or a considerable snow by now. However, the temperature has been consistantly below freezing at night for the past couple of weeks now so if a storm ever does move in we will likely get a fair amount of snow.
