Damn guys. On tuesday I believe it was snowing here in Chicago like hell. I couldn't get back home from school b/c of the snow. I tried go on the bridge, it didn't work b/c of my tires on my 8. I decided to choose a way home without any bridges. Me and my 8 are alright. And I need new tires for sure.

Idk about you guys, but I like the snow. (not so much the brutal cold we had)
but when you have an ATV plus a Truck for a DD.
Snow is much appreciated.

This isnt cold honey, its death from hypothermia or pneumonia if your outside for too long weather. lol its 4 degrees outside right now with 20+ mph winds.

you'll change your mind after shoveling your driveway and driving in the snow with other people that may not have insurance.

or in today's case, still scraping ice off your windows 20 minutes after the heater's been on full blast, and hoping the person behind you doesn't slide into you (which happened to my coworker today on her lunch)

you're wind chill definition is almost right. it's what the "feels like" temperature is because of the wind. and since chicago is so awesome, we get heat indexes in the summer too!

...you'd have to cuddle for survival for a day like today.

Talking Only...

Sorry, I had to laugh.. ONLY 3cms of snow in a few hours? I live in Canada and just recieved 17cms of snow -10cms within 1 hour.. and it's -40celcius (I guess that's -40fer too) and my car is FROZEN. Won't start
**read my "I HATE MY RX8" blog..
This car isn't built for us Canadians I guess. *sighs*
I should have stuck to my truck..
and for "photo chick" --it's not fun.. only for skiing, and snowmen haha. I will trade you places to live for 5months.. hehehe

oh and btw snow is the funnest thing to drive in ever in a rwd car (just make sure your not around other people who don't know how to drive in the snow)
