It's Snowing
 

I can see lots of snow falling from the sky out my office window.

Is everyone too busy to post?

Snow rules. I need to remember to take pics this time.

Maybe we'll get enough on the ground for some parking lot shenanigans later. :twisted:

Seriously, that was wierd, it wasn;t snowing, then you posted and I looked out the window, and its a blizzard! Cool...It took it about 2 minutes to get from Reno to Me...

no snow by my house :cry:

is it sticking?

It's sticking here.

It's already done. Poop.

And it's melting off the street. Double poop. :(

its snowing here now just not sticking :D :?

Same storm... it'll only last a few minutes. Looks like there's more coming up the hill though.

It's going to hit us in waves.

Well, just got home from Aviator,it was great by the way, and my neighborhood streets are just abou ice rinks... Be very careful in the AM. People who believe they bought physics exemptions in their SUVs will be out in force...

The snow that sitting on the streets seemed to help curb the slickness, because last night the car was sliding alot.

Physics exemptions! :lol: They are in droves up here this week. I have several friends that are firemen here. Yesterday they had a record number of calls with SUV's going "offroad".

I'm still wearing shorts.

Holy Crap! Big Snow today!

No kidding. And it looks like it won't be stopping anytime soon.

Yeah, the snow is flying sideways at my place. I-80 is closed at Truckee, I think. How is it at the south end of town, and CC? Nick, how is it up at Truckee?

It's definately an AWD day!

South end seems to be not too bad. Moderate snow fall, but it certainly isn't sideways or anything like that.

I spent 2 hours shoveling about 6" so far, and onther 2 " has fallen since I quit. Tempted to see if Sears has any blowers left.

Yay for snow!
More! More! More!

It's raining sideways here. :evil:

Ow, my shoulder hurts......like this:

Wow Nick!!
I can't even tell how you reached the car (your bootprints appear to be covered up.)

I didn't at the time the picture was taken. We had 70mph winds last night that just blew the snow off the top of the car. I already snow blowed and cleared the whole driveway and within 2 hours we had another 6 inches!

The first 6" was the hardest work, but I think I'm up to about 10" total. Took the truck out to check on snow bloweres. Of course Sears is out of the Reno sized ones,$299, but has tons of Tahoe/Truckee size ones. $600-$1200. Home depot is a rip off with Lowes slightly less bad. So Screw em...

I moved the cars to the ends of the driveway, so if it gets to far ahead of me, I'll just give up on the rest of the driveway and just keep those spots clear.

Nick, I assume you have a killer blower... If you or your neighbors ever decide to upgrade, let me know and maybe I'll take your old one of you for a reasonable price.... :)

P.S. We need a snowman Emoticon...

Yes I went through several before finding the best one. It's a honda 11 hp with a 32" bucket. I'm thinking of turbo charging it though. Maybe some titanium spikes for the tank treads.

That would be awesome! Honda Snowblower Type R! :lol:

VTEC baby....

Then add some stickers and that thing will really plow....

or blow....whatever...

Just got home, and there is over another foot in my driveway. I give up... Anybody got a plow? And Tyson's car does not count...

You're the one with the beater F150. Go buy a cheapass plow attachments and help all of US out!

Cheapass = like $500... I found a source for cheap snow blowers. I'll start a new thread.

So this morning was Interesting...(I'm at work now)...

I half-assed shoveled my driveway to get the car out...made it half way out of my cul-du-sac and got high centered...The snow was so deep I could almost not open my door :shock: Oops...I got out, tried to dig it out by myself, but had no success...

I had to wake Bryan and Kevin up to help me get it out, we ended up using Bryan's jeep to get me out to the main road, that thing is a monster...So needless to say, i'm leaving my tow hook in the front.


Turns out I high centered the car in the street because there is about 20" of snow, it came up to my knee...That's a little too deep for a slightly lowered Impreza.

Once on the main roads, I was golden, the streets were a mess, tons of snow still, deep spots, and assholes spun out all over (Mostly abandoned cars from last night)

Anyway, now back to work... Moral of Story...

Jeep on 33" Tires and 4 inch lift > *

Well, I'm working too, didn't have any trouble getting here though. Well once I got the car out of my parking spot up on top of the snow. Ay my house it was up to my headlights. I plowed the whole driveway pretty much cause no one else had driven through yet. Once I got to a larger street I stopped and cleared the snow out of the grill and the lower bumper so I would get some airflow. It was packed in there good! Then it was just a matter of avoiding cars that were spinning out and abandoned.

It looks so beautiful out there right now with the sun shining, I'm tempted to go to the mall. The looks are probably deceiving though.

sorry debbie but the news said Meadowwood is closed today

Seriously?! Well then maybe the news blurb I thought I saw on the bottom of the tv show (no mail delivery today) is true, too.

Well I went to see Life Aquatic and loved it.

My car was awesome, save the fact that the hump over the railroad tracks on sierra st was very discomforting. I took it at a good angle but still I could hear my exhaust getting coldy punched by the mounds of semi-hard dirt snow.

Bump for snow,,,Another lovely snow-filled commute. 8)

SNOW! So fun! My office closed down for the weather. Once I get done with my side work I'll be able to play for the rest of the day. Yay!
The STi is sooo much fun in the snow.

You suck!

You should leave work and come play in the snow with me!
Then you'd suck too! :D

Sounds Hot.

You know I keep trying to rewrite that so it wouldn't be misconstrood, but no luck.

Welcome to SECCS .org .. :lol:

Indeed.

This is exactly what my old beat-up 200k mi+ 1990 Legacy is for! The body is hideous, but the AWD works fine. I've been taking all the back streets to work since the snow got here. Cul-de-sac u-turns are my favorite!
