wow... i just took a walk outside and there are cars stuck everywhere (i live between 2 hills). Looks like the rain that fell earlier frooze solid and the roads are literally one sheet of ice... I almost fell just walking!

 

Yeah, tonight sucks bad. The rain has turned to black ice, which is almost worse than snow. My 8 sits outside with all that crap on it, and then theres the salt next day..ugh..I dont want to think of it any more. Hurry up Spring!

Snowboard trip huh?

 

I just went for the most harrowing (sp?) ride of my life. I happened to be up in NW Lehigh County for my son's basketball game and left the area around 7PM. The roads were a sheet of ice. My ride was 90 miles and it took over 3 1/2 hours. In that time I must have seen at least 10 accidents, including 1 turned over SUV. Winter tires or not, no one should have driven in that ****. They didn't salt the NE Extension of the turnpike. The blue route also wasn't salted and was a total mess. I finally saw situations where the bridge actually froze before the rest of the road.

That is bad dag. I dont think the forecasters expected it to be this bad...its a high of 22 tommorrow while Thursday has a high of 50. Very funky weather patterns. Glad you made it home however!

We in Ocean County, NJ missed out on all the "fun" . Got up at 5:30 AM no snow / rain at all but that didn't stop the town from salting the roads after I cleaned my 8 Well I am ready for the stuff so bring it on!

 

I got 2 inches of the stuff at home. In Manhattan, there's nothing sticking. Just salt powder.

 

we just got a little dusting here in south jersey...not much ice either

 

its feeling like a winter wonderland almost, not much more than a half inch sticking, but the roads are icy, and blizzaks are awesome, no problems with the ice, it felt sharp and sticky to the road, ich bin impressed.

 

well its not much of a trip... I live 10 minutes away from Blue Mountain

its 6 degrees F outside right now!!!! :o :o :o

 

I swapped cars with my parents thinking this storm would give me problems, but it was not worth it. Now I have to drive home in a Chevy Lumina! Oh well, better safe than sorry.

 

Agreed, salt everywhere, not too much snow. Looks like theres going to be plenty of rain to clear it all up towards the end of the week. We should have dusty 8's just for alittle while!

 

Boston is a snowy...its a heavy wet snow. Yea at 7am this morning i had a hard time driving away from the gas station. It just wouldnt grip....i was not even touching the gas and the traction control was on....off....on...off...
I work near no windows and i havent even looked outside yet....i hope its not bad for my commute out of crappy Boston....

 

Disgusting eh?

Man - after last night I feel I have to get driving lessons for the ice. The *** kept wanting to kick out.

Wayne - thanks!

I just got those Pirelli Winter 240's from Tire Rack. Should be here by thursday or friday. Until then, the 8 is out of commision.. don't want to take the risk

 

we got some wet snow and ice in DC. left the mall at 5 to cold winds and snow. Just got Pirelli Winter sports on 2 wks ago, and they handled great. Seriously. I love the look on those SUV owners when I zoom zoom by on the exit ramps. This is not to say Im out speeding though. Its just nice to have the car keep a lot of its integrity. Now I just got a keep it clean.

 

No snow yet here in Phila, but the rain is doing a good job of rusting up my rotors, brakes and creating a sore sight on my rims. Anyone else in the same boat?

 

luckily the salt is minimal over here, else my black rx8 would be the new color of "dirty whitewater salt" that mazda is pushing out for the 2005s

I hope we dont get a blizzard this feb since we are having such great temps in Jan!

 

I think we are getting almost a foot of snow on the same day the eagles play....

 

That much?!?! I hadn't heard anything about accumulation yet

 

Well you know forecasters....they said for sure at least 4-8 inches

 

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Time to go be depressed.. hehe

 

^That's good though, the Eagles will be better in the snow than the Falcons will

 

Hopefully Gambit!

Talking of snowing, its really coming down here outside in Horsham PA!

 

Yeah Wayne, after you made your post about snow, it started here as well. We're over 1 inch so far and still coming down pretty hard.
