See what all you WARM WEATHER folk are missing
We were supposed to get 4-6 inches of snow today into tonight, but it ended up being ICE instead.
I had an interesting ride home from work and this is what the car looked like when I got home.
Oh yea…… BLIZZAK tires RULE !!!!!!!
Cars were stuck all over my 10-mile drive home, but I motored onward.

We're in the grunt of our second 2 FT+ snowfall in two weeks, with an ice storm yesterday. Let's see lots of snow+Ice+lots of more snow = No pity

Seriously, no thanks. Supposed to have highs of 85 this weekend in LA, in the middle of winter.
I love this town.

My driveway is so steep and icy - MY PLOW GUY QUIT LAST NIGHT!
Just gave up! Now I'm snowed in and no way to get out of the driveway. I'd shovel / snowblow but it's so icy there's no way!

A coupe of weeks ago my car looked EXACLY like Shawn's, with one major difference.
Along with the nice coating of ice, there was road salt everywhere!!! The Blinger just looks like some kind of a pretty ice sculpture you'd see at a wedding.
Don't they use salt out in your area?

I miss my 03 CL-S :(
Well, it's 85 and sunny here in San Juan now...
Tomorrow I fly back to DC. The high there for tomorrow is 38, with snow
I left my car all nice and shiny at the garage at work...
At least I'm not in college anymore. Otherwise I'd be flying to Rochester, NY! The high for monday there is 25!

That means maintaining, insuring and storing it all year round.
Money better spent on other things.
I’ve got a nice car that’s capable in the snow.
It’s got Front Wheel Drive, Stick shift, Anti-Lock brakes, snow tires, heated seats & Limited Slip for traction.
It’s an excellent winter vehicle.
Except for a little dirt on the paint there’s no harm done.

Most of what you see in the pictures happened on the drive home.
The shit was falling out of the sky and sticking fast to the cold metal of the car.

They use it around here too, and the smell is horrible. Although, I'll take it over the insane amounts of salt they used to lay down in severe storms.
