I got CL.
Half way down the page, I got some snow pix from past april.
I didn't get a chance to take pix lately in the snow storm we got here in Seattle.
I'll post 'em up if I get a chance to.

those pics were from last year, but it snowed more this year.. the drive wasn't too bad because they did a good job clearing the roads..

are we living in the same seattle?
the seattle i know has some of the worst snow coverage ever.

theyre not using salt and the plows have rubber bottoms so almost none of the roads were deiced and half of them were closed.

i still made it home for xmas and back up but the local seattle roads were shit.

Snow storm

This was a week or two ago.
When I left my house that morning my car was spotless.
It's in the same spot as the "Chgo meet" sporting the winter wheels.

Thanks 3.2...I think they're perfect winter rims. Going to be picking up some 18" Enkei EKM3s come spring

Doesn't it suck having to start your baby in -30 C temperatures....makes me cringe when I hear the sound mine makes. For some strange reason there was no block heater ever installed on mine. I've debated putting one in but the cold temps didn't last too too long.

the enkei rims sound good for the second pair. as for starting in cold temps it really scares me. everytime its that cold my viper 2-way alarm/start doesnt have enough time to turn over the engine which results me in going outside and turning over the engine and then hitting the remote start to take over. it sounds like as if its so weak that it doesnt have enough power to turn on and then it gets better once its going. thats interesting how yours didnt have a block heater but as for cold snaps where you and not lasting long i agree with you. me on the other hand, the cold snap last 2-3 months with consecutive 40 below weather and plugging it in doesnt make a difference if i have to manually go out and turn the car on. oh well. i like my car and i like yours lol with the tsx wheels. hawt.

Sounds like you may want to invest in a new battery.

Interesting, did you go the dry cell route ie. Optima? I noticed my car cranked over much faster when I switched from a regular battery to the Optima. Just a thought.

ya i hear ya and those who live in cold weather 8 months of the time i can sympathize. but great thing is that our cars will turn regardless and since i live in 40 below weather at times, i can keep my car clean even though at times i like to wash it 2-3 times a week regardless

Generally no... Maryland winters haven't amounted to much recently. I actually purposely went out to take those snow pics at 1 in the morning. Sometime I plow the snow w/ the lower Cusco brace.
