My car is frozen solid, I can't even turn the key to unlock the car to get in =( I want to throw my mom's SUV outside but I can't even get my car into the garage so it's stuck till I get desperate and find something to thaw it out with. Enjoy the snow.

My garage is full of junk that I need to clean up, but I'm too lazy to do it :P Although the car port sounds like a pretty good idea, ima look into that Locks are frozen too anyway :\

omg it might snow on christmas here in houston. the way these people act down here about it just cracks me up. "the world is gona end and i might just die of mild discomfort. "

if i offended any southerners , tough. its not that bad. now if it is 69.7 below zero then ok you have a point.

(69.7 below is the coldest temp ever recorded in north america in montana in the 1950s)

If it gets 69.7 below here in Minnesota, it'll just be another day. People will still go to work, kids will still go outside to wait for the bus.... but snow in Texas... yep the world is comming to an end.

Yes.. how do you find the empty parking lot if you can't even make it out of your driveway /get up the hill that awaits you before you get on the main road?? :P

I love it when it snows. Too bad not long enough.I just put on my studded Hakka 1's and go with a huge smile on my face.The only thing I have to worry about is "the other guy" who may not know how to drive in slippery situations.

hahaa, yeaaathats my fear, I used to go out to lots in my beater (mom approved) to learn to drive in snow. just the other day i took the Parkway out to the North hills of Pittsburgh goin 40 mph and onto some back roads so my friend could check out a 240 hes looking into (to replace his totaled one ) but about 100 ft infront of us we watch a focus come around the corner and do a 270 across both lanes of traffic. good thing no one was hit.

There is only like 6 inches on the ground here in South Bend, IN. I need tires for the maxima because they are currently slicks and very dangerous. My 240 is currently in my heated garage.

I wish bro....I could move out of dad's and into a place with a heated garage...but then I'd have zero dollars to spend on her....I think I'll just let her sit and not drive her much in this weather...makes sure she stays salt and sand free, and in the meanwhile keep saving for my first big upgrade....

69.7 below is positively toasty! The record for north america is actually -81.4

Iteresting bit of trivia: the world record is -128.6 in antarctica, some 20 degees below the freezing point for carbon dioxide.
