Just cleaned off the 8 and took it for a spin or twenty (literally) :lol:

So much fun in the snow!

CTrx8 12-21-2009 11:51 AM

got about 10-12" but my 8 was parked nicely in the garage so it was fine today. had to shovel a ton yesterday to clear the driveway and then again this morning to get to the gym after the plow came by again and tried to trap me but it's all good.

xun4gvn4everx 12-21-2009 12:49 PM

my streets have a nice layer of packed frozen solid snow over them. Gatta slip and slide to get out of the neighborhood.

RIWWP 12-21-2009 12:50 PM

I love driving on packed snow :)

xun4gvn4everx 12-21-2009 01:01 PM

It's def fun and a good time! but, my street is kinda narrow, so you risk sliding into the snow drifts on the sides created by the plows.

moonkid 12-21-2009 01:01 PM

we had a lot here too but my 8 was nicely warm in my garage.... :) took the fiancee car to work but i really miss my 8 that night i wanted to have some fun in the snow... and when i got back home my neighbor was doing donuts on the loop...... i was so jealous..

I don't know, my car's been breathing at ~5 Degrees above ambient temp...and i love it. That and sliding in and around town is always a good time.

klanham08 01-30-2010 06:49 PM

Is it just me or is anyone else DONE with this snow?

...so much for a "dusting" that the meteorologist expected!

Yes! I'm done! :lol: I scooted out at 0945 when there was about an inch on the ground so I could get my daughter registered for soccer. I'm glad that was all there was.

Yeah, 2 inches my azz. There's at least 6 inches down here and according to the weather thingy....it ain't stoppin til 2am.

The minute I can afford one, i'm buyin a hoopty.

Lol they go from a dusting, to 1-3, to 3-5, to 5-10, and like you said it won't stop until early Sunday morning. It has pretty much stopped where I live so hopefully I won't have to go back out and re-dig my car out.

af7mn 01-30-2010 09:09 PM

Come shovel my driveway! :lol: My car is nestled in the garage...but I haven't figured out how ima get outta my driveway come Monday morning. Suppose to be sunny all day tomorrow but I don't think it'll be sunny enough to melt it away. Grrr. I have to turn in a final exam on Monday morning! I have to get out! haha

Daughter is pretty much stuck inside in Arlington, VA right now. here's a few pics she sent me. She can't get out of the complex gate right now as it's frozen shut. There was a huge tree that came down on somebody's truck which you will see in one of the photos. These are from early this morning on 2/6/10.
Sorry.....couple of shots are through the screen on the window, but what the hell!


Going to keep them small, you'll have to click on them to enlarge.

Two more......................Oh, and it's still snowing there and is expected to do so through the evening.
This is right outside the Ft. Meyer area close to the Pentagon.
Glad I'm in Florida, but I would like to go snow skiing out West of the city!

No weights...but I have WinterSport M3s. The only thing you have to worry about is ground clearance with the snow drifts and fallen ice chunks.

yeah we probably got around 24'' up here. Don't like to snow to sit on the car, so I cleaned around it. Now it has its very own snow fort, the kids around here don't even have forts yet! I wont be driving it for a while so I'll just wait till it melts away. My neighbor was telling me we might get 3-6'' wed then more next weekend?!?

BTW, how has everyone been?...I have been a bit of a hermit lately.

klanham08 02-07-2010 01:58 AM

Yeah that is about the same amount I got at my house....took me almost 3 hours to clear the snow off and around my car!!!

But now she is clean and free of snow :)

...until this Wednesday when they are calling for MORE SNOW!:wallbash:

Mazurfer 02-07-2010 01:46 PM
