Texas gets snow

[Philipio]

You know how we always make fun of people for snow? Well, today really sucks. This is possibly the most snow we've seen in 10 years.

I'm definitely not driving today. Extreme performance summer tires, I'm paranoid of rust, and my car would be acting as a snow plow for all the slush piled up in the roads.

My poor, poor car.

[numbnuts240]

i want more snow

[Koshin]

lmao...

you call that snow?

haha

[Philipio]

Yes. Terrible, terrible snow.

[PoorManQ45]

Summer tires should not be used below 40~50 degrees. The rubber gets hard and offers very little traction.

Also, LOL at your neighbor with the boat in the driveway

[DrifterXRPS13]

HAHAHAA!!! this is what you get for angering the gods...not so funny meow.

and don't worry about rust man...one tiny snowfall does not rust create.

I know about the tires. Driving today would be really stupid for that reason alone. When I left my house a couple mornings ago there was a big spot of ice in the road and that wasn't a lot of fun to slide through. I usually drive as long as there's no kind of snow or ice, even if it's around mid 30s or 40s. I just don't push my car or anything. They're not bad when they warm up, I went to a track day in mid January and it was probably in the upper 40s. I didn't have a single issue with grip the whole day. I just can't wait until summer gets here for grip!

Yeah, that's middle class Texas for you. Tons of boats everywhere since there's a ton of lakes around here, hahaha.

Supposed to be 6 inches today, that's seriously a HUGE amount of snow for us.

Texas freaks the hell out about snow. There WILL be large amounts of salt on bridges.

Still coming down pretty hard. My car has piled up what looks like an extra inch or two of snow. I'll have to take an updated picture before I go to work.

Good, im glad. I wish it would snow in Florida and Arizona as well.

[Koshin]

theres been snow on the ground here for the past month straight...I hate the salt...I was my vehicles every day almost...it sucks teh c***

[ThatGuyRoger]

damn all we get down here is cold rain

[PoorManQ45]

It snowed here in January

[RCA]

Well I wish I can send all my snow to Texas because it will melt much faster there.

[Philipio]

Snow keeps falling heavily and my car has formed a double mustache.

This is not snow. This is fluffy cotton that as been spread across your car and roads. When your state activates it's National Guard, then it's snow. My trailblazing skills are not needed to navigate this stuff you have there.

va calls the national guard? for snow?

[flohtingPoint]

va calls the national guard? for snow?

We activated it for transport of key personnel, you have to realize, DC is a stones throw away and a lot of US gov officials live in VA. Our snow budget was destroyed by this back to back storm that hit us.

[numbnuts240]

see that makes more sense.

[sultan]

roads are in perfect shape around here, quit being a p****.

i just drove around for a few hours and couldn't even break the tires loose on my explorer.

[Philipio]

I guess the roads an hour away from me are different then because the Explorer was having plenty of trouble here.

[troskinatior]

Is there any snow plows down there?

How do ther get the snow off the road?

[Philipio]

No snow plows. We wait a day or two for it to melt. Tomorrow I'm anticipating worse conditions, probably a lot of ice. Texas loves to ice. It hasn't stopped snowing once today and it's going to freeze tonight. It'll all go away soon though.

[hannibal]

^ It just melts the next day...

[Loki]

Don't let it go to waste. Go to the nearest empty parking lot and PROFIT.

[Philipio]

Well, an all time record for Texas was set today. 9.4 inches of snow recorded at DFW airport. Wow. "The previous record was 7.8 inches on Jan. 15, 1964, and Jan. 14, 1917." Hundreds of wrecks happened in the metroplex, salt trucks are in full force. The roads are expected to turn into solid ice tonight.

Where did my foot go?!

Car update.
