Snowing

Had to leave work today because of the snow. My tires HATE this weather The highways were fine but once I got to the neighborhood roads I starting slipping and sliding. I had to disable the traction control to get up my driveway.

We have black ice here - I think they are both dangerous.

The day after i finally get my new wheels and tires mounted it decides to snow while i'm at work Not that i don't love snow but the timing could have been better. I think i really annoyed some people driving 10 mph the whole way home from the alignment shop as well.

Are the Highways fairly clear up near you guys? I'm planning on driving to Seattle after work today for the new years weekend(from Salem, OR).

On a side note: making it the last 500ft up a hill to my house going 2 mph at about 2-5k rpm was interesting but i made it up that damn hill

Ask and you shall receive(had to get it somewhat clean first.) I'll get some better pictures and put them in the multimedia section with a little write up once i have the clear corners on.
