Finally getting some snow? Where were you the past week weeks? :chuckle

Seriously though, drive carefully people! If you're not comfortable driving in the weather, don't drive! I see over-confident SUVs tearing past me going 120 in sheer white-out conditions, only to see them become "one" with the guard-rails.

Im scared to crap. My winter beater's tranny died on me so i officially took my 3 out from hibernation early. I also put on my gf's stock RSA to use instead of my Ze912s. I dont know how the RSAs will handle but i hope if i drive slow enough it will be ok.

Rant: I was changing my tires yesterday on my UNEVEN driveway and 1 of my fin7 rims fell face down but in a garbage bag (which is basically nothing). Ended up leaving like 2-4 minor scratches on 4 spokes. Yes, it wasn't a good day for me. I was sad and still am..... sigh

Took me 40 mins to get from Brant St to Burloak today, I remember driving from Stoney Creek, that was a nightmare without the snow lol...

Hope everyone has a safe trip to/from work today, snows are definitely a necessity in this crapola.

Started snowing in Windsor early this morning, got maybe 10cm on the drive in to work. Ended up taking 15 min longer.

The Goodyear Nordics are good on straight road with snow but any turns with a lot of snow, you'll feel it slide a bit and the back wheels struggle.

You should be taking off in second only in this type of snow...meaning it seems to be very wet slick snow and especially with RSAs LOL, they're useless in this weather!

This morning coming home from work, like 5:30 am, the 401 and ramps were farking treacherous, no plows, no salt, nothing had been done!!! and the snow started at about midnight!?...I don't know about you guys but I think the city has been doing a horrid job this year, it seems they wait too long before attacking the problem....maybe it's a budget thing but still rediculous....Safety should come first, IMHO.

The snow in Ottawa is pretty bad and the major roads aren't cleared either... What's even worse here is the increase in volume because there are no buses... Joy!
