Re: summer is over

I was waiting for someone to post a snow pic from Colorado! I guess that same system wrecked NE Oklahoma with winds and flooding. And I'm moving back why? Oh yeah, I'd rather deal with heat and bad storms then snow

Re: summer is over

It is always a national emergency here, in D.C., if it snows. Schools close, government closes, airports close... last year I think they even closed on PREDICTIONS of snow... fun stuff.

I miss snow.

Re: summer is over

Hi everyone, Here in SE Michigan mother nature was having a HOT flash. 82 degrees and really,really,really humid. Aw well. I'm sure we will pay for this later. Take care, BOBB

Re: summer is over

From what I understand, this winter is supposed to be very white just about everywhere... I sure hope so

i don't. driving behind some white-knuckled goon in a Dodge Charger with summer tires going 10mph in the snow is not my idea of fun.

During my old commute between Reno and North Tahoe in the winter, this situation you speak of would be every 5 miles or so going up and down the hill. The absolute WORST were the asians (no offense to asian members ) on vacation here to ski. They would literally drive 5 mph with their blinkers on, and did not understand the concept of turnouts. This cause many dangerous situations as people would try to pass them on double lines out of desperation.

On a side note, our shop was right at the bottom of Mt Rose highway, at the end of a descent of about 3000 feet in a few miles worth of road. At least twice a day, sometimes 6 or 7 times, someone would pull into out lot with their brakes smoking heavily from riding the pedal alllll the way down from the pass. Its great how many people go through life not giving a second thought about their driving habits and the catastrophic damage it can do to their cars

Re: summer is over

i also remember being in my LGT with SNOW TIRES and sliding around a bit because the roads were icy. i was driving about 30mph (speed limit was 35mph), and a Camaro with big WIDE rear wheels starts riding my ass. i'm in the right lane, so after a while he passes me. i was hoping to see him wrecked into a pole further down the road, but unfortunately i didn't.
