Bring on the snow!

Winter Storm watch for Tuesday here in Minnesota. Means it will snow and inch and people will be in the ditch.



Got the XT ready, 14" pugs and Hakkapeliita tires on her. Should be ready to go, bring winter on!

LOL, yeah it's that time of year....

The SVX is peaking out the barn door just shaking. lol

With any luck the only snow it will see will just be in the yard. Hard choice on with one to drive this winter but the XT is about a third of the price of the SVX so it lost out.

Was just looking at the weather redar and the snow is coming. wooo wo and man I'm getting to old for this. lol

LOL, I haven't thought of that yet. I really much be getting old. We have already used one of the swamps in back to test the lift kit on my old wagon I sold. Only problem is if I miss a turn and hit a small tree while it's froze, I will break it off. Better wait until I get a good froze snow base first

It's starting to snow here. I plan on putting the snow tires on this weekend. Should be fun driving until then with approx 25% tread left on the summer tires.

Oooohhh! Just watched the late night news and weather. We're supposed to either get wet snow or freezing rain Wed night/Thurs morning. You know what that means I gotta do tomorrow?

Go shopping!

Already got my snow tires on and am all set for winter

(Found my hub caps! Now just gotta get 'em on ... maybe tomorrow )

Well we've probably got about 1cm of snow on the ground right now.

This would be our second major snow of the season. The first one was a blizzard but was too warm for any of it to stay around.

Should be a slushy ride home from work tonight.

Well my Yokohama AVS db S2's are officially useless now.

- I can spin on demand in 4th gear
- I can't turn without skidding (usually oversteer)
- I got stuck in my driveway

Things will change completely as soon as my Dunlop Graspics go on and the suspension is raised.

I would guess we got around 30cm of snow.
