Re: It's the annual "First Snow of the Year" thread!

I WANT SNOW HERE IN IL!!!! :WAH:

There are a lot of lowered imports with body kits here and I want to charge them 50 dollars to get them un-stuck! (and if they sit low enough - just push them and they can be my plow for the front of my Jeep and i'll still get them to pay me!!!)

Man I'm evil. I just love to go 4 wheelin' in the snow - it's more fun that way!

BTW - out here we have gotten nothing where i'm at. Nothing is sticking. Just the pond that I over look in my apartment is starting to freeze...

I too have spoken too soon. It is now snowing here in Montreal, and windy too, and the temperature with wind chill factor is -17°C (that's about 15°F).

Cool First Time Driving in Snow!

We have snow here on LI. And seeing as I live about 20 to 30 minutes from Matt Krass, it ruined my Friday night as well (yeah, sometimes I actually go out on Fridays, scary thought, eh? ).

Leaving school was fun today. Apart from "rescuing" my brother from math (we have the same math teacher, different classes, different grades, so it was ok), because seniors who drive get to leave early (along with illegally smuggled younger siblings/friends), driving home was tons of fun! None (or almost none) of the seniors, including me, have driven in snow before. Hilarity, as well as a lot of money thrown down the drain, ensues...

Word of warning, if you ever have to drive in the snow for the first time, don't do it in a minivan, and don't do it when they haven't plowed the streets yet. I only [i]almost[i] hit one person though, which is better than Dan can say (hehe, lack of ABS is funny... ).

Hopefully tomorrow, once it stops snowing, I'll be able to get out and play in some of it, but who knows. I just hope it stops snowing, so my parents let me go out .

Re: It's the annual "First Snow of the Year" thread!

I don't like Michigan weather.

We had snow, but it was flurries and nothing stuck.

At least I know we'll have a big snow storm later on in the year - we always do...

I live in the Poconos M-F... and we had a light flurry.. but no more as of the time I left today. I live a couple hours north of there, and we haven't had a thing. A bit of a bummer, but I am dealing.

Hmmm. I guess that I shouldn't mention that right now it is about 78 degrees here in southern California, the sun was out all day, and I have been driving around with the top down on the Mustang...

Hmmmm. I guess that I shouldn't mention that right now it is about 33 degrees here in Northern Virginia, the sun's been out all day, and we've been driving around with the top down on the Mustang...

Dave,

Can you still rent Mustangs? I miss the days when you could rent a 5.0 Mustang GT from Hertz. Next time you're around, remind me to tell you about the time I "caught" a purse snatcher with my 5.0 Mustang GT rental

I hope you heard every evil thought I sent your way this morning when I was dealing with my frozen windshield wipers and my tires being encased in ice... and remember, when I'm thinking evil thoughts, snowballs are the least of your worries...

Re: It's the annual "First Snow of the Year" thread!

Bah! SATs were cancelled all over Long Island! Normally, this would be a good thing, but I still wanted to retake them once before college apps went out... NOT ANY MORE >:O >:O >:O

One of my friends was supposed to take a lot of her SATII's today because she was tied up with research and personal matters last month and the month before. She's in real big trouble now -- she's applying to several schools in California, and California doesn't really know what snow is, so they don't care about her situation. =(

Re: It's the annual "First Snow of the Year" thread!

Yepp. Yesterday it snowed about 6 inches, stopping about 10-ish at night, here in North Brunswick. I woke up this morning and lo and behold it is snowing again. Reminds me of the time I had to stand out in the snow with the robot to 'cool off the Chiaphua motors'...But that's a different story for an entirely different day.

Re: It's the annual "First Snow of the Year" thread!

Er, well... In Ithaca, the first snow of the year was about a month back. The biggest snowstorm so far was this Tuesday... buses were 20 min late and we went down Route 13 to school @ 9mph (police sign thing was showing everyone's speed)... 12 buses were 1/2 hour late, but as usual, our school district had school while every other school within 50 miles was closed. We've written letters to the superintendent to change this, but she's a [fill in the blanks].

Started snowing again here last night. Finished plowing the driveway 1/2 hour ago.. Since then snow's gotten more intense and a little bit windier. Only good thing about this is that the local ski resort opens today

Re: It's the annual "First Snow of the Year" thread!

It's snowed a few times here in Ann Arbor, but it hasn't stuck at all. It hasn't snowed enough or been consistently cold enough to do that.
