..btw,my car is in a garage too.. haha man you are getting exactly what we had last tuesday, we got a total of 14 inches in 1 night, with 3 inches per hour with like 50mph winds, all i can say is good luck trying to drive your beast in that horrific weather, you better toss rosie odonnel in the back for better traction

Its just starting to get heavy here, expecting 1-2 feet. Well, I got plenty of firewood, so I'll hole up in the garage tomorrow, start a fire and see if I can't get the GTA finished. Just have to put TB, AC pump and belts on. Let it snow,let it snow, let it snow...

Lol if it would snow like that here I would have to use a snow mobile to travel the 25 miles to work. It wouldn't be the first time either 2 years back when we had that bad ice storm I went to work like that until it was really safe to drive my car.

I hope your car doesnt get rust. Um, I got a little less then 1 inch of rust on the body. See it wasn't warm enough to wash it before because it was about 10 degrees here and I haven't had my car for about 3 weeks and it wasn't driveable for about another 2 weeks before that. So I got my car back friday and it was decent today so I washed it.

The snow is just deep enough here in Carbondale, IL that driving my car would take longer than walking. Plus there is ice under the snow because it rained, then sleeted the previous day.

You guys are makeing me feel good that its just 25-40 degrees around here. Only snowed once, and it was just couple inches. Just enough to build tiny snow men.

50 mins to get to the street, 30 mins to get it out of the middle of the street next to the curb... I'm never buying directional tires again (I deflated the tires to 12psi too)

I used to like snow, but now I hate it. I think I am going to have to move further south, preferably more towards the Atlantic. I don't like desert like conditions though.
Sometimes when we get like a foot of snow; instead of snow angels made on the ground, I make cowl hoods on top of my hood.
It is also fun to drift in the snow in an abandoned parking lot, as long as you don't get stuck.

Yeah, but you guys up there in Canada are suppossed to be used to this kind of weather. Those that get snow in the Southern and South Western States don't get it that often so it is kind of a surprise to get more than 4."

Measuring the drifts, we got 4-5 feet. Really I think it's more like 30 inches. Took most of the day to dig out the driveway, and only half had snow( the other half was blown clear). I'm glad we don't get storms like this every week.
