I just learned something about tires,

winter tires stay pliable and flexible down into very low degrees, interesting.

you all stay safe and warm!

Here in Indy, the Snowpocalypse just turned into the Moistpocalypse. Pretty much nothing.

Same here. They were calling for 12-18". We got nothing but rain. I guess it's hard for snow to develop at 37 degrees, lol. It did get cold abruptly over night (12 degrees), and froze all of that rain. My street is a glistening skating rink! The main roads are OK, but the side streets are SOLID ice.

At least all of the dire warnings motivated me to fix my snow blower! Now it sits, poised, ready to pounce, and there is no snow.

Cold? Check.

Pretty chilly last night, it's only 12 today, likely won't get any "warmer".




Makes me really long for those August nights, sitting out under the maple tree I planted when I was 8 years old, drinking a few beers with friends, listening to the bug zapper working overtime.

Come ON with summer. Shuck this fit!

Well the final total out of this storm was 19.3 inches. 5th biggest single day snow storm tally on record for Chicago. After I finished snow blowing this morning it looked like this (I went out twice yesterday).



The City of Chicago has yet to plow the side streets. 19+ inches of packed down snow is fun to drive on


Then I got to work. No one plowed our lot (still waiting on them to do it). 19 inches of snow plus drifts. Awesome.

Snowed a few inches, then rained a little(not enough to melt the snow), then freezing rain, and now snowing as I type.  I'm VERY glad I got another good coat of wax on the car.  I don't foresee it moving for a while....  My wife has to drive home from Queens tonight.  For some reason, she took the Focus and left me the truck (I had to work this morning).  I think her 45 minute commute is gonna be closer to 2 hours plus today....

Suddenly, the 17 degrees and 3 inches are perfect. Doubt it'll be all we get here before spring though.

Why is it colder where I am in southern NY than it is in NORTHERN ALASKA?!!!  I mean continuously too.  I've been checking on a daily basis for the heck of it.

We have had one "significant" snow storm this year. A trace that stuck on Christmas eve. Today was a chilly 36 degrees when i left for work and only got as high as 49. Should be back to 60 by Thursday.

All honesty, i miss snow. They have already closed a ski resort locally. They have ran as long as late June before. We have had basically no precipitation this whole winter, pretty much we will be in a bad drought.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
