[jon]

fuck my car isnt ready for it....

fuck fuck fuck

[erik]

Oh no'z :o

[Domesticated]

RIP enkie's :o

[90LXCB7]

Tell me about it. I've got a shit ton of driving to do tomorrow for work. I'll have about 450 miles in tomorrow by 10:30 pm. Fail!!

[silver_echo]

at least most of your driving is probably gonna be on highways and those are plowed... i gotta drive delivery for a chinese food place mostly back roads not plowed

[jon]

but you drive a car that looks like a 4x4 i sit 2 inches off the ground...i have a fucking plow

[90LXCB7]

Either way, I hate driving in the snow. And last night on my way up north, I saw quite a few deer. Then in Chelan, I saw a big horned sheep, imagine hitting one of those sunsabitches! They like to headbutt the shit outta other sheeps.

But, on a good note, I'm getting drunk! I win!

I wanna see a Dodge Ram get hit head-on by a bighorn sheep. Give him a real Ram ornament.

My tires are practically slicks. I need a set of Nitto 555s, yesterday. DO I have $300 sitting around, right before Christmas? No. It's all earmarked funds.

but you better not drive drunk or you won't be allowed to drive later

[MetaEnder]

Dude, so far up here in Juneau, Ak the snow hasn't stuck.

I'm sure it isn't there for good yet! But I last minute garaged my car....

[90LXCB7]

Nah, no driving drunk for me.

So, it's 5:20 am, I have to get up for work at around 9, get some stuff done before I head off and I have the WORST case of acid reflux I've EVER had in my life. That shit I drank is killing me. I think I keep coughing up pieces of my esophagus. Note to self, don't drink that shit again.

[JetBlack]

LOL! Take that esophagus!!!

All that food ganged up and launched a counterattack?

[90LXCB7]

Nah, the food was great. It was the Costco sized can of fruit punch Four and the normal size can of citrus Four that kicked my ass. Holy shit. Steer clear of that stuff, it tastes awful, but, it fucks you up. I'd compare it to... MD 20/20.

[JetBlack]

I'll stick to the tequila. Mmmmm, tequila. Probably high in vitamins and everything.

[JetBlack]

I fucking knew it. I ordered tires this morning, from Discount Tire and not ten minutes later, the snow started dumping. WTF?!?! If I cancel the order, will it stop?

If I wash the car, we will have record setting rains.

If I order tires, it snows so I can't get them installed.

Cursed.

[Domesticated]

yea... with my 2 inch lift on the neon with these monsters. 4xin' status!

[JetBlack]

My kingdom for studs. They don't make them for my wheels. Pfff. It's a conspiracy, against Mustangs. There are only about five tires available for my wheels and mostly, thank goodness, they are W-rated or better.

When someone says "Yeah, but how often are you going to go above 168MPH?" I say "I want zero surprises at that speed... zero. Especially from my tires."

[2.5i]

I am sure they make more than 5 tires for your wheel a 17x9 really isn't big.

[JetBlack]

I am sure they make more than 5 tires for your wheel a 17x9 really isn't big.

Look on Discounttire.com or tirerack.com for 255/50-17 or 285/45-17. Stock size is 235/55-17, but on an 8" rim so that size makes for "sporty" handling, on rutted roads. Which, in the NW, abound. 255 is the smallest and I can go as wide as 315, in the back, but I can't picture a tire that wide and I'm sure it wouldn't be cheap or fun in the snow. I probably wouldn't be putting enough PSI on the snow, to make tracks, much less get traction.

http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/search ... =17&cs=255 (http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/searchTiresBySize.do?r=WAEINT%7Cpc%7C83814&ar=50&rd=17&cs=255) and they don't make the BFGs anymore :( That leaves three options, except I found the Nittos. I heard the 450 makes so much noise, on the roads, that your girlfriend will know you are coming over way before you get to her house. She can hear your tires coming.

[SToLeN88]

im pullin my 81 silverado stepside out!!!now that i can afford to drive it

[jon]

i need to get sometype of snow tires...my summer tires just aint gonna cut it especially with the crazy camber wear on the inside lol

well i guess i can just use chains everytime it snows again this year

[90LXCB7]

Haha, there ya go. Leave the summer tires on, strap some chains on them shits and prepare for the ride of your life. I so hope we don't get a shit ton of snow this year like we did last year. Although, I did fairly well in my 92 Accord with just normal tires on it.

[MetaEnder]

I bet your guys get more snow down there than we do in Ak, haha. How's that for irony.

We've got 41 degree weather still crankin'.

[90LXCB7]

We've got 40 degree weather still goin on here too.

There is a saying for the weather in eastern Washington... "if ya don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes, it'll change"

If I'm not mistaken, we had snow the first day of spring this year, how stupid is that?!?! we can have -20 in the winter and 110+ in the summer, how's that for a temp change?

[MetaEnder]

WELL right now we're topping out at 30 degrees and getting down into the 15-20 range for lows at night.

But it's clear, so there's no precipitation. :P

I thought that was a Moscow, Idaho saying... lol. Tomorrows high is a whopping 35 here.

[Milanored92hatch]

it hasn't stuck in Alaska yet i thought it was snowy all the time there? i guess when i went to nacknik it wasnt snowy but that was summer.

[MetaEnder]

Yeah dude, Alaska's got a rep for being snowy all the time when it's not. At least in Juneau most of the time we get slush.

[JDMJonny]

I just ordered maxxis 205/40/16's they are supposed to be decent in the snow not that i really give two shits cuz i drove my mazda on bare tires all winter and only put it into a snow bank once and only put it up on top of the gaurdrail once too :mrgreen: < thats a good story!

[MetaEnder]

Dude, I hear ya.

I drove a FWD Sentra, totally bald tires, AND (here's the fun part) no windshield wipers.

ALL winter. That was gnarly. I'm really good at seeing through rain and snow and controlling sliding now. Haha.

[RsxPrincess]

wheres it snowing at??? oh and ps i'm new here =]
fuck my car isnt ready for it....

fuck fuck fuck

[Milanored92hatch]

ya it just seems alaska is snow covered all year to us down here

[JetBlack]

the way I see it, everybody in AK has a CAI, whether they buy one or not. At 12 degrees, shit, everything your car sucks in is cold air.

[MetaEnder]

Haha, yeah it's funny. Who needs a C.A.I. when you live up here.


Well, last night it jumped from 20 degrees to 32, snowed 8 inches, and now it's leveled off at about 37 degrees.


C.A.I.'s suck up a lot of water up here, which is why I'll probably get a S.R.I.

[erik]

Dang... It barely got to 33 here today... supposed to be in the lower 20's over night. :shock: I hate it. :evil:

[MetaEnder]

Another thing is, we're on the coast, so we get weird "warm" weather changes from the ocean more than people who live inland. Our summer is wet, and our winter is slushy versus like Fairbanks, which is in the interior, it's like -40 there right now, but in the summer it can push a hundy! Nuts.

Very much like Washington... Seattle... Very rainy... Cascades, snowy, cold. Eastern Wa, Dry and cold. But in the summer eastern wa is dry and hot... Seattle can be moderately warm... some summers.

[silver_echo]

hey look... more snow

[Domesticated]

its horrible

[jon]

im stuck at the bottom of hills...with no chains, no snow tires and shitty roads...i might just camp on the side of the road and ride it out

[JetBlack]

Yeah, last year every time I'd look out the window it was like "Oh look. Snow."

13 degrees and snowing now. The Mustang made it 25 miles through 7 inches of snow. Woot! I took pics of the marks in the snow where I was dragging the undercarriage. The tailpipes were inches above the snow. But I guess that's the case no matter how far they are away....

Like saying "JetBlack has one of the fastest Mustangs in the world!"

Technically, the very slowest Mustang is ONE of the fastest. In fact, it's the last fastest.

[silver_echo]

crap... i just barely made it home... my car got high centered 3 times because it was deep enough that i was pushing it with my bumper... i am not gonna be able to go anywhere until the plows come... grrrr

[Domesticated]

ok there is like 1.5'+ of snow

[2B!]

Snow here is deeper than my body kit is high. 4.5in

[jon]

i have 8 inches in my front yard i barely made it in....cables ftw right now.... just for proof
i drove straight in, i didnt shovel the snow like that...it sucked
http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/21/l_dabfae8867c744db82225683c456cb9f.jpg

and echo how the hell did you high center that 4x4 unless you were driving over berms even i didnt get stuck and im lowered

[JetBlack]

I haven't looked out the window yet but I may be calling in "glaciered" today.

My exhaust tips were just above the snow yesterday and if it continued snowing like the weather channel said it was going to, I am scrod.

[erik]

Jon, that's bad ass! Snow plowin'.... I had to do some running around yesterday and those chunks of snow that fall off cars suck! You can hear them hit stuff under your car.

[jon]

im completely snowed in. the snow is mid way up my doors. my work just called and they closed us.i cant get out of my driveway...ill try and get pics in a little bit....well guess ill be on here a lot over the next couple days

[ben_cb7]

this is nuts i cant go to work today cause my car is lowered! 27+ inches of snow!!!

[jon]

yea i was gettin hi centered last night...but now? there is no way ill make it out...good thing i live a block or two from the store and have enough stockpile in the house so that i dont have to go out.

[ben_cb7]

it was funny last night there wasnt AS much snow so i was like plowing my road with my car since it is so low. lol. saved me a bunch of work!

[jon]

lol look at that pic i posted...its even worse and they are saying that it isnt going to slow down...basically im fucked...i dont think im gonna be able to leave my house for days...nothing like not being able to go to work for days....shit..and they have pretty much suspended bus services so its not like i can even take the bus at this point. well i guess we will see

[jon]

there are people stuck down the street from my house...2wd small cars in this ftl

[jon]

update from this morning

http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/28/l_31745ea62e594321896d62eec66f586d.jpg

[JetBlack]

Has anyone seen a plow? This stuff plows great but I can't say I have seen one single snowplow, since the first snowfall, last year. Fourth street is not plowed. Fifth is not. All the 4x4s are out having fun though. I saw a Jeep having to slow down because the snow was deeper than the front bumper so it pushed it up over the windshield.

Unfortunately, I saw this in front of my house.

[jon]

over here in spokane i have. on my way home last night at 1030 they had 4 plows going down division, they pretty much had it closed down...spokane is shutting down.

[JetBlack]

I think I am going to call my girlfriend and catch up on my video gaming. Maybe rewatch some dvds, read, cook and generally veg out.

I started shovelling and pretty much gave up halfway through. I took about 8 breaks and was still tired. Screw the gym, everybody get out there and shovel! Tomorrow and the next day, I'll be all sore and looking at another 18 inches.

When I turned around and admitted defeat, I looked up and saw I had been laboring under a freaking huge snow pile on the roof. I am sure it was waiting for me to reach the end of my tether and not be able to carry on another single, miserable, exhausted step before, for maximum effect, it dumped it's entire snow-load down the back of my neck.

Since it didn't, I'll call that a tiny victory.

"victory!"

[jon]

i just shoveled. it sucked.1 shovel width is all im givin em....i really did it cause i feel bad for the mailman...im gonna have to shovel every couple hours. i shoveled my car out just in case i absolutely have to go...but im sure ill get stuck if i get out there...

[ben_cb7]

the stupid plow came by on the side road and i live in a small culdesac and it left a nice 4 foot barrier to my road so my dad's truck couldnt get out and there is no way i can either

[JetBlack]

Everybody on my road is still optimistically putting their garbage cans out.

LOL!!! Maybe by Spring, I will have brought it all back in and flushed it to get rid of it. I bet I can cut up my milk cartons and flush them in strips. Take some tin snips to the Campbell's soup cans and stuff.

Hopefully the electricity stays on. My heat's electric.

[jon]

my heat is electric too...im just gonna start a bonfire in my front yard if i loose power....survivorman style!!

[ben_cb7]

dude that would be awesome!

[erik]

Jon you kinda look like Survivorman.

[jon]

if the snow would pack better i would build an igloo. but this weather sucks....since im not going to leave my house at all and go to either job im considering getting drunk very very very much...nothing else to do...meh

[Domesticated]

theres no way to get out of my lot, the snows three feet deep 50ft bothe ways, that includes reversing which wont happen

[jon]

we are all stuck here today....nwtuner post whoring!!!

[erik]

Moscow has been spared, for now... there is a band of heavy snow moving this way... We have only about 8-9 inches total.

[jon]

your getting the stuff we are dealing with...expect 11 inches...it sucks...get what you need now. cause you will be snowed in

[silver_echo]

it got high centered because my engine cradle was dragging

[Domesticated]

11 inches! it snowed 12"-15" yesterday and about 2'-2.5' since midnight last night in cda

[erik]

You guys got hit hard, lol, glad it's you and not me! :P Though I have to drive to the Airport up there this weekend :(

[jon]

we got 19.5inches in the last 24 hrs

[JetBlack]

It is clear that the snowplow driver thinks I am the guy that fucked/impregnated/dumped/heartbroke his only daughter.

He has not been nice to me this year. Guess what Santa Plow brought me?

Somehow the snow he delivers to my truck and driveway is harder and much heavier than regular snow. I think he puts meteorites into my particular snow.

AND!!! I shit you not... I am scooping out my second- or third-to-last shovel of snow and a kid walking by asks if I need a hand with that.

"I am one scoop away from doing my victory dance and I need to hurry before the plow driver comes along and puts the cherry on top."

I know tomorrow morning, I will have to shovel again and then get a running start because I don't think I can see over the snow in my yard. I'll have to open the car door, look over in each direction, jump in and go, before someone comes along.

Hmmmmm. I wonder if I buried three or four of those CO2/water/2-liter-bottle bombs in the snow on my driveway and then went back in for some coffee.... [BOOM!!!] poof! Clear driveway?

[JetBlack]

You guys got hit hard, lol, glad it's you and not me! :P Though I have to drive to the Airport up there this weekend :(

If you leave now you might make it by Monday.

[jon]

my plow visited me...i just finished...i have a nice 5 foot tall berm on each side of my driveway... laid down so much deice hoping it will keep the snow away... but it tooook forever to get it done...im not thrilled but what can you do?

luckily i think i can get out tomorrow...there isnt a berm in the middle of my road like i feared there would be...so as long as there is no new snow and no new plow ill be able to go back to work tomorrow....uhh yay!

[MetaEnder]

God, it hasn't hit me that hard yet. So far it's been clear blue skies for the last like week.

Most sun Juneau's gotten ALL year. Crazy. But we don't even have any snow yet, just a bunch of frost.


Buuuttt... it'll eventually get here.

And I'll be in the same boat as you guys.

Yeah, we got LUCKY! We do have over a foot though. The roads are nasty enough for everyone to drive like an asshole.

[silver_echo]

anybody else realize that spokane got almost 5 feet of snow in dec.?

[JetBlack]

And they gave it all to us in Cd'A. Cabin fever! Good thing I have the internet to waste time with and big screen TV and hacking away at my guitar. How did the cavemen do it?

I mean they probably only had like two channels.

I have just about run out of places to put snow.

LMFAO @ JetBlack, have fun with the additional foot that's going to fall tonight. Don't break your back! :D

Seriously, that's a ton of snow. What kind of SUV is that covered in the BG?

[jon]

ithink that is his truck, lol fucking we are getting more

[pinksuby20]

lame, we dont have really any snow on the ground..

[JetBlack]

lame, we dont have really any snow on the ground..

Wow, my nose runs for you. I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear that somewhere out there, people are being deprived of lower back pain and frozen nostril hair, caused by the inclement weather.

I shoveled my roof because I was worried it would cave in from the weight of the snow. I have to tell myself "It is pretty." before I go back to muttering curses under my breath. "Fuckin fuckin fuckitty fuckin....."

we had quite a bit of snow up until the day after xmas and it disapered.. I was mad.. I love the snow..

[erik]

You live on the wrong side of the Mountains if you like snow so much. It stays on this side for awhile, we actually get a winter. It's not as "nice" as you think. After the first 2-3 days of it, it begins to be a hassle, as it piles up, it just gets worse. You learn to hate it and want the 100 degree, dry pavement, weather back!

[pinksuby20]

ya i used to live in spokane and oregan, I miss how much snow I got in spokane, plus in the summer time it actually got hot and stayed hot throught the summer..

[justin]

FUCK THIS. ITS SNOWING AGAIN HERE!!!!!!! just as soon as i thought everything would get back to normal. damn it!

The snow has started to fall in Moscow, once again, the brisk fog and snow have swallowed this small University town.

[Billy_03wrx]

the snow fell alittle bit to day over here in beaverton. I really cant wait til this shit stops

[erik]

the snow fell alittle bit to day over here in beaverton. I really cant wait til this shit stops

Same. Though, they are calling for 8-10 inches all said and done with this storm. We still have 1.5-2 ft on the ground. By Wednesday hopefully we will hit 40 and start melting this stuff. I hate it, car is too low to be driving in it, the huge ice ruts hit the bottom of my car, sometimes my engine, it hurts to hear ice on metal, lol.

[Billy_03wrx]

ya that last storm we had my car didn't move out of its spot lol

[Jen_ForesterSTi]

I hate this snow shit... needs to stop already... We had enough a week ago to last me a life time!! LOL

[JetBlack]

Walking on the yard and roof, if I'm really careful, I can stay on top and only sink a couple of inches! If I'm not careful enough, I do a one-legger up to my hip and have to wade back out. It must be four feet in the front yard.

[erik]

It is coming down relentlessly here. Ugh, has to be close to 6-8 inches over night. I'm not going outside today till the mail comes!

[erik]

Yup yup, we got about 10 inches. The only bad part about the rain is the first few days, the roads are slush and wet ice, worst possibly driving conditions.

[Jen_ForesterSTi]

Roads were clear for me this morning at 6:30am!

[jon]

yeah the slush does suck, we are gonna get flooding here, all the drains care covered in snow.

[erik]

Nevermind, its definitely a new foot of snow. :( Brushed my car off.

[jon]

yeah we had over 60" of snow last month here, and it all seemed to be in a matter of 2 weeks

[90LXCB7]

Yeah, and just imagine how loverly it's going to be when the rain and slush freeze at night, I hate this fucking weather, with a passion.

Can't wait til spring

[JetBlack]

Sorry, you want us to send you some?? LOL I guess by the time it got to you... it would be melted..LOL no point to send it then!
