Well anyone from those 3 states knows what's up today. I had to drive home 15 miles from my girl's house early to avoid the worst of this storm. I dont wanna say my protege drives bad in the snow but it sure as heck had alot of trouble today! Granted the snow was above my door jams and the roads weren't plowed but I felt my car slipping even when I was moving at a slow steady pace in a straight line. And starting back up at a red light- forget about it- I had to ease the clutch so long to avoid letting the tires slip- hehe, took me like 10 seconds to get to 15 mph! All the a*hole SUVs were riding my arse the whole way home thinking they were driving in the Nascar Winston Cup or something!
Anyway take a look at these recent shots I took from outside my bedroom window. The blue one is mine (you can see less snow accumulation beings I drove it a few hours ago comming home) and the white one in the street is my moms.
Welp we only have.........hmmm we only have another DAY of this snow! Yeah- no prob! *cringing*

Thats like a winter wonderland!!! I wouldn't mind living there, here in cali you have to drive about 5 hours to get anywhere close to snow, but nothing like that.
 
God I hate snow, I used to live in new york 1 year ago...I don't miss it at all. Snow does nothing but bad things for your car.

Sorry to hear about the bad weather, at least you got home safe.
 
whoa, looks like that white p5 aint going anywhere LOL. thats worse than the snow fall here in calgary
 
What's even worse- when they DO come by and plow our streets she's gonna be even MORE trapped. We'll have to escavate her P5 out of the Mountain of snow tomorrow- whenever it DOES decide to stop!
The odd part is the way it's collecting on the roof. See how it angles upward as it goes towards the back of the car. Heheh, kinda looks like the shape of the goofy Peugot spoiler.

I'm in Washington, D.C. The whole No VA, Maryland area currently has at least a foot and a half of snow at about 5 pm.

My p5 is buried on a side street for the indefinite future. But fortunately I can walk anywhere I need -- I live smack in the heart of the city.

Went for a run and a 2 1/2 hour hike in the snow w/ my Gf. Had a blast -- feel like a kid.

Oh, and I had to save 2 vehicles. Still SUVs driving around. No one should be on the roads here. The drifts are too big for almost anyone.:)
 
hehe I ran outside and shoved the Miata out of the garage and put my P5 in there when it started snowing. I actually felt the car handle well in the snow, had no problem keeping up with SUVs on 95 during the middle of it. Unlike the many other cars that were sliding and slipping, spinning and crusing. :)
 
Looks Like My Car @ In Jersey except we had more snow!!!
I still can't see out of my bedroom window!!!

Gawd, while you guys are complaining about how much snow you're getting.

I'm complaining about how little snow we're getting up at Whistler. It's hurting up here....
 
last winter, in my hometown, we called that monday, wednesday, and friday lol

When I get my P5 soon, I'm putting michelin artic alpins on and then i'll be keeping up with the SUV's!
 
haha, i need a snow mod, the blue p5 looks tight with teh snow, i need to get blue and paint some snow on it....awesome mod
 
Hey were is my car dude.

Were is my car dude. :eek:
Thats what I said. My car well the whole lot was gone.
Nobodys car was there. Well it was under a 4 foot drift.
Open my door looked down the stairs and half were gone too.
So took me 2 hrs to get to the places were the car was.
Then took another 4 hrs to get to the front. Of the walk way.
Then I said AAAAAHHHHHHHHH. Hit the alarm and dug to the sound LOL.....
 
Snow tires?

What would be good for our car ?
Must be something but ahhh do we need them here?
Hmmm After this I would say yes , but how many time do you think we will get hit like this?
 
Damn....and to think that in 5 days i will be up there in it.

I miss the snow..its been 11 years since i have seen it..hope it lasts that long hehe
