It's coming down as heavy snow here, but not sticking to the wet pavement just yet. Grass and dirt are sticking though.

This has been an ideal storm system as it pretty much stayed in teh mountains and didn't disrupt life too greatly here in the valley... A little slick this morning, but nothing too crazy. Those pictures are awesome...I envy you mountain people :lol:

Hey, you're only 35 min away....

cody 2010-01-22 09:55 AM

Nothing will keep me from snowboarding tomorrow. Nothing! :)

^Sounds like a herpies commercial.

cody 2010-01-22 12:33 PM

I think you mean herpies medication commercial. :lol:

100_Percent_Juice 2010-01-22 12:52 PM

You tell me Cody... you tell me.

It's your world and I'm just a squirrel...

Hey Cory, did this past week bring you any presents in the form of Nissans with folded suspensions?

I found this oddly entertaining and I'm not exactly sure why.

MPREZIV 2010-01-25 07:28 AM

In fact, it did not...

I couldn't help but to roll down my window and yell at him, but after I passed him, it looked like he missed his exit by the way he attacked the median. He did a 180 right behind me and I just saw a big puff of snow as he plowed into the ditch, and then I watched his taillights fade in the rearview as I continued on my way. I couldn't be mad after that haha

You were doing 70 on snow?

Dean 2010-05-10 04:01 PM

Bump...

28 degrees and dumping at my place. Who washed their car this weekend?

I kind of like these mid60s-70s weekends and weekday storms.

Nick Koan 2010-05-10 04:02 PM

I thought about changing to my summer tires this weekend, which with my luck means this weather is probably my fault.

sperry 2010-05-10 04:07 PM

Shit, I can't put my snow tires back on if I wanted to... they don't clear the new brakes!

A1337STI 2010-05-10 04:18 PM

I put my snow tires back on my STI last week. Though I'm just trying to preserve my Khumos for Autox, didn't expect that i'de really have any Need for them..

Dean you wouldn't prefer nicer weather mid-week so you can get out and enjoy it with less tourists around? and then storms on the weekends when its time to stay in from the tourists? hehe

WRX06TR 2010-05-10 04:23 PM

I found out the inside shoulder on my RE070's was trashed, so I switched to my snows on Friday, I didn't think I would need them either.

cody 2010-05-10 04:24 PM

I haven't had snow tires on since the first autox. Maybe the gods got confused when I swapped the Starspecs to the Sport Maxx's last night. :?:

Dean 2010-05-10 05:16 PM

False alarm? Now sunny and 48 degrees. Welcome to the high Sierras.

GusGus91 2010-05-10 05:28 PM

It's probably my fault.. I just bought new summer tires. :-/

Today was the first time I saw the "don't like the weather? wait 15 minutes" joke about Reno weather happen literally. At 5:00 it I could barely see the hill outside my window through the snow... at 5:15 I had to tilt the blinds because of the sunlight in my eyes. :unamused:

I just want some goddamn spring weather! :mad:

I think spring was in March this year. It lasted about 6 hours.
