Yea! for snow

I love snow. It makes driving on the roads fun. :laugh:

 

i wish we were getting snow up here right now, i hear mankato has 4 inches right now

 

In Rochester we have 4"! I have nearly bald RE92s...

 

Holy crap! I just looked out the window. I was gonna put t3h winters on tomorrow too.

 

what no way give me snow

 

I think that after I dig my car out I just may have to go find me a place to play in the snow! Come one come all to the Rochester snow-covered parking lot races!

 

Dammit, don't snow here until I pick up my car!! I just bought an 07 WRX and can't wait to get back into an AWD. I had a 97 Mitsu GSX a while back that got me addicted to AWD.

 

To the noobs who are driving their first AWD cars this winter:

Do not drive like you have as much traction as you did this past summer. You will hit curbs, trees, light poles, mailboxes, fire hydrants, other cars, living creatures, potholes, etc. and your bank account won't like it very much.

Just be careful out there on the slippery roads. AWD can help get you out of trouble quicker than a FWD or RWD car but your car has as much traction as everyone else with the same tire setup and tire pressure as your car does.

Now go out there and have fun!

 

haven't seen any snow here yet, but it'll be here sooner or later.

 

What snow?? You called that snow!!! You haven't see nothing yet!! :biggrin:

 

Sooo.... where are the pictures!!!

 

I <3 SNOW!!! In lacrosse right now we have a little over a inch and falling. I am so excited this is my first winter with the suby!!!

 

You just wait....the time has not come yet!!:biggrin:

 

There is like 7in in rochester right now and i am stuck at work

 

Yup me too

 

Fun my ass. I had to drive to austin at 3:30 this morng and only got to Faribault(half way) I ended up sittng at a truck stop for hours befor heading back home. Btw e-250 work van completely empty. no traction or control.

 

My Winter Adventure!!!

In chronological order...

1st pic is the start of the day in Northfield making my way down towards Albert Lea. Initial excitement for driving in snow!!!

2nd pic is of me stopped completely on 35 headin south with sure accident ahead...

3rd pic is of me following a wonderful van at about 10 miles per hour!

4th pic is of idiot not controlling van thus having to have the 4 hispanic passengers jumping out to push!!!

5th pic is me finally at my destination lookin at my new snow tires and the 6 to 10 inches of snow on the ground!!!

 

My Winter Adventure! 1 More!

Ok, so I forgot one! The best part of my trip was seeing the mayhem on the side of the highway as I must have seen 25-35 cars, trucks, semis, trailers and even one WRX all in the ditch as it got worse the farther down I got!!!

This pic is the main part of my 45 minute delay on the way down as there were two semis and 4 cars all in the ditch!

 

holy smoly! I have never seen a semi in a ditch before.

 

Haha bastard!

I didn't even see a flake of snow today

 

I spent 1-1/2 hours scooping my driveway and sidewalf free of about 10" yesterday afternoon.....and still didn't get the part of the driveway with the third stall which contains the Suby.

8-10 cars in the ditch in the morning on the way to work driving from Rochester to Dodge Center on Hwy 14.

I was driving the Jeep though....was planning on switching to my stockers with Blizzaks for the Suby this weekend....as I call myself a *******!

If one goes in t he ditch more will follow

 

^^ so true. misery loves company.

 

Yeah, saw like 4 or 5 semis either jackknifed off the road or in the ditch! Good times for me, very bad times for them...

 

Yeah, good thing Mike was able to put the snow tread on Thursday night! Next time you'll just have to go drive and "find" the snow!!!!

 

getting some snow out in mound right now. started about an hour ago, I can still see grass so its nothing serious and will just melt in a few hours.

still exciting nonetheless
