first snow, first slide
 
coming home from work tonight (got our first snow here) and went into a 4-wheel slide down a small hill. bend at the bottom, with houses approaching. i stood on the brakes - the ABS went off <bap bap bap bap bap bap!!!> and finally got some grab. scary!
don't forget that AWD don't go on ice. be careful out there, folks!
nevermind if you're in Florida, Texas, NZ, etc.......:mad: :D

What a bummer. We expected 6" today and got barely enough to cover the grass.:(

Got my Grand Wagoneer plow ready last night (I plow in style :)), started up both the 5hp and 12hp blowers just for giggles, all for nuthin. And found out my skiing buddy damaged his knee wrestling with his 11 year old son. I guess I will be skiing alone on Friday.

Winter is here finally!

There is nothing to rub in. I would rather "freeze" on skis, and then sit in front of my fire place sipping Margueritas, any day. And I don't have to deal with the extreme heat all summer. Plus, we get a nice Fall with the great "foilage", and a Spring where everything just bursts with color. Oh, and let's not forget the Summer at the beach when we can actually walk on the sand without blistering our feet. I could never give up the "Four Seasons". Vive la difference!;)

i almost stopped in a lot last night to do that. i always find an empty lot every winter and practice some winter driving and sliding. its not fun, just practice - and i'd NEVER do something silly like doughnuts :rolleyes: :D
