Midwest Ice and Snow storm

**Smkn_TA** · 12-01-2007, 05:32 PM

Holy shit it is NUTS here. I took the trans am out early with some 275-40-17 M+S Pirelli tires on it, FUCKING WORTHLESS. Traction control kept smacking my foot with the fucking gas peddle over and over, and the Abs is so sensitive you push it like a half an inch and it goes to rock solid. Never had abs that felt like that. I slid at a stop sign, and when tires slid the snow piled up in front of them and I actually got stuck, had to back up and go foward.

Whipped donuts all day though! Now with all the ice on the trees and wires, I have heard five calls about trees on roads, and seven calls about live wires down. According to news, in my area over 2000 without power! All the ice on my trees branches are falling like crazy, every once and a while a six inch thick branch falls and hole fucking house shakes!

P.S. Driven four rear wheel drive cars in the snow, this is the worst one ever. The crest of the road was throwing me sideways even.

I forgot to turn it off 1 day and needed to really get on the gas to pull out in traffic and almost got hit cause of good ole traction control slowing me down

4-5 FEET of snow expected.
Glad that is the forecast about 2 hours from here.

This was last year at this time...
Measured 32-33 inches in my front yard.

Not anymore.
Been garaged for 4 years now. Those pics are from several winters ago.
The first couple pics (without the T/A) were from December 2006.

ah i see i see.

well i dug out today...got the snowblower out...3 driveways to do. the gradings were about 2 feet high in the driveway from the plow except behind my moms car where the guy picked up his plow due to a truck in front of our house...there the gradings were about 4 feet high and into the middle of the road. that was f uckin blast (sarcasm). took about 3 hours or so...what a pain in the butt.

My motto: If it's gonna snow then I ain't gonna go!

Being a Los Angeles native and having experienced 3 winters in Colorado cured me of any need for having 4 seasonal changes.
