You think that's snow? Pfffttt. ;)

It's kinda funny, because i'm in Saskatchewan and i only have snow on about 2x2 feet of my lawn. Today it was only about -7, and you americans think we live in igloos up here.

Most of the time, our winters are really violent though. One winter, coming home from christmas... we had to shovel our walkway to get into our front door, there must've been 4-5 feet of snow :)

i wish it would snow here like it did in 89 after hurricane hugo, man that was the best i don't remember much about it i was only 4or 5 at the time. but it covered everything. now it hardly ever snows. it did 2or 3 years ago but it was just enough to put a thind cover on the ground. i'm hopeing it will this year so we will get out of school.

Yes! My college is closed and so are the other schools! Yippie! :jump Now I have some time to finish the rest of that research paper. Livingston gets hit every year with snow and all. One of the guys I talked to online said that he got snow this morning and cant get out. I didn't see snow yet, but I had ice all over my car and all. Roads were fine. I had to drop my car off at the shop. But yes free day!

uhh....I seen the weather this morning about 5 am when I was trying to hear from the radio whether or not VolState was closed in Livingston....they showed sunshine for next 2days that I seen. Either that or it will do worse tonight then sometime tomorrow evening ya know clear up....I hope school is closed again tomorrow. :xfingers I'm bored right now though.:boring My mom threaten to take my keys from me b/c I have spare key to her truck, I wouldnt dare driving that thing in rain/icy weather; she said off limits and her truck better remain in the driveway while she's at work. I asked to go to a friends house and she said no, but they can come over if they want to. ;)

Argh....I wish we gotten snow instead of ice. It sucks because I'm bored. I'm trying to think of things to get my mind off my car. I want my "baby" back!:sad but its getting fixed so I dont have to worry about it. After that all I'll need is a muffler and my car is done. :D Then it will be time to install my new cdplayer system w/ new speakers.

I just tried to take my 240 out in the snow. Let me just say my trip to the bank didnt last long, I turned around, I'll admit it that Im not that experienced with my car enough yet to go driving around in snow in traffic!!

Hey I havent drove my new car period in the snow. lol Its now a month and week old. :) I wont get my car from the shop til in the morning when they spend another 2 to 3 hours maybe on my car. I cant wait to get it back. It sucks not being able to go anywhere and I cant take my mother's truck b/c its off limits *shrugs* Her truck slides in bad weather like this. Now just get a muffler for my car and it will be finished for now and no worries. :D

You could be the best driver in the world on snow, but its not what you do or how you drive its the others out there that freak or panic and hit the brakes and then slam into others.

Just got back from work and my god, it was crazy! 20, 25, 30 at the most for me. At least 5 wrecks on the way to work, 5 back. For the Louisville natives, Waterson was insane! My poor 240 had to work hard to get up those hills without fishtailing! Be very careful on 65 and Waterson, some crazy people out there!

Just started snowing this morning in Jersey. There is about 1 and 1/2 inches on the ground right now, in total there will be 6-8. My car is too low to even drive with an inch on the ground. Plus I don't even have snow tires on my car yet, just old bald ones. I'm not going anywhere today...

I don't know, I got World Sport coilovers, and 15" wheels, and no wheel gap. Plus I have a front lip...My fron't bumper is basically like an inch or an inch and half off the ground. I don't want to be plowing snow into my radiator as I drive around.

I do, but I have no photoshop to resize it....its really big, I've been wanting to post pics for forever but can't.

Redrocket, if you read this how do I properly link my briefcase from Yahoo. You have it done, but every time I try and do it when you click on the link it won't allow it to open (for other people).

Shot, I would much rather it be here sunny all the time cause it would be race and show season all year round and I wouldn't have to drive in this crap when it does snow. People up here can't drive very well in the snow.
