I decided to go out and try my new Michelin Pilot Sport Plus All Seasons in the poor weather today. I had to brush about five inches of snow and ice off of the car, took my nearly an hour to get it drive-able. No my poor car isn't garaged, but that's ok. She's my daily driver.

Well I must report, the tires combined with ESP was GREAT! The car had no problems even on hardly traveled back roads with 5 inches of snow and two inches of ice underneath. I had no weight in the back. Last ice storm I put nine car battery cores in the back because the old summer tires were so bald and worthless. It does better now than it did before with the weight in the back! I am impressed!

Brrrr..... that looks cold. I wore a short sleeve shirt to work today. If I am lucky, and the rain holds out, I will be at the track tomorrow.

 

You lucky dog I'm sitting here watching it snow a inch an hour no telling what it will look like tomorrow calling from 8 to 12 inches ,,6 is in the garage going to try and finish the mat tomorrow if the power stays on burrrrrr is right looking at his pic makes my poor old bones hurt.

 

Really, I had a friend in AL tell me it was sleeting there...must have missed you....crazy climate change anyway....what are we to do...lol

 

Were suffering from a brutal winter. We've had cold front after cold front stall over us. I think it got down to 70 the other night! Leave the north for warm weather a look what happens! (I love Puerto Rico!) (except for shipping cost for Crossfire mods from the mainland)

70

 

Wow Howard. that is pretty crazy for Tennessee, I just got a pm from Alan, and he said that he has already got 6 inches in Murfreesboro.

 

Tell me about it! Were 5 or 6º below normal. Brrrrrr. By the way, the snow pics are deja vu.

Yeah he will get alot more before its over I got spring fever and this weather aint doin me no good ,,,,,, did you catch that 70 degrees in PR Bob ,,,,,,,,,, I would have sand in my..........well i'm not going there

 

Do you want pics? The water if frigid too. It must be low 70's! Not the 80's that I like.
Oh, I'm originally from Tennessee.

I spent 8 years in Greeneville TN and didn't have weather like that! The 5 or 6 inches are just lake effect here, but you can have that 2 inches of ice. Had enough of it when in Iowa.

 

What part of Tennessee ?

Bob1340 My Admin Asst. lives in Greenville. Our Plant is 30 miles away in Erwin .....

 

Howard, my wife is from the Philippines. She has never seen snow, so I thought..... Hmmmmm....... Maybe we could head up to Tennessee for the weekend and visit family in Greeneville. I checked the weather channel, and looks like iced over roads north of Atlanta. I moved to Georgia from Colorado, and lived in Germany before that, so I don't mind driving in snow, but ice is another story. I think we will just stay home and keep warm. Have fun in the snow my friend.

 

I'll try to post a couple of nice pics tomorrow of the snow on the mountian for her ,,,, and your right not to mess with the ice ,,,,too dangerious

 

Thanks for the pics, you have given me hope for my XF in Montana!!!!
(Looks like new tires are in my future...)

 

wow, you guys are getting your rears kicked...just looked at the weather map....that's usually us, not you....this cold front we have is keeping it south of us....but it is single digits here...but no white stuff...had that last month...hope the power stays on for ya...

 

Sorry...... sunrise yesterday......

 

Those cold winter snow days are all over for me. Been in the upper 70's for the past 2 weeks. A little bit of a cold snap tonight but it will be warm again soon.

 

You folks in Oklahoma sure have had a whacky winter. The storm pretty much missed all of Denver. We got a light dusting. It was 45 today. A little cool for top down, but still took Debbie out for a spin.

 

Got up this morning and pool looks like skating rink still snowing brrrrrrr
