I saw a suby outback spun around:thinking: Also saw a ford exploder stuck on the side of the road spinning all 4.....I think he was trying to cook a turkey w/ his trasfer case:lmfao:

When it started snowing in SI on Friday every1 forgot how to drive, I think they forgot you can't stop in snow, saw about 3 parked cars slammed into:eek3:

Saturday morning none of the roads were plowed and there was at least 6" of snow down and a lot of cars stuck in embankments. If you have FWD and don't know how to drive in the snow stay the fawk home...I'm gonna invest in some 30' tow-straps(just looped material no metal hooks) and start charging ppl $50 to pull them out when they get stuck. Gonna have to write up a disclaimer and have them sign w/ their DL #...for safety reasons.

Me and my friend's were doing some shopping while most of the population was stuck indoors, it was nice...and the parking lots were fun:naughty:

 

my parents have an AWD and a FWD and they do great in the snow. my car on the other hand, sucks.

i'm one of those pussies :sad:

but we also got a foot of snow, so....

 

I think a problem for you guys may be that you don't have all of the equipment to handle it, or your cities there don't know how to handle 12 inches of snow in one night as well as say suburbs of Buffalo, Rochester, or Syracuse can. We get 12 inches of snow and most of the streets are cleared, salted, and we get up and go to work and school because, well, it's just the way it is. I don't think the Accord could go though 12 inches of snow without a problem, but 12 inches and plowed streets all you have to worry about is sliding, which is to say--difficult when there is ice under it. We manage.

 

well its mostly just the mountains i live in. its not very populated, so it takes them hours and hours to plow and salt, and when they do, the do a shitty job.

 

:werd: if we took off days ilke all the other southern states for a couple inches, we wouldnt work or be in school all winter.

 

whats that

 

AWD and 4wd does not make any compensations for driver skill...draw your own conclusions

 

thats true.

 

I put snows on my Focus and now am doing great. I can drive in the snow, but last year, driving skill + summer tires = still go nowhere. Now, I can go anywhere as long as I do not have clearence issues

 

whether people think they can drive in snow or not isnt the point. the point is that peoples lives are more important. they close schools b/c a lot of people live in the middle of nowhere, like jess, and areas around me. my mom drives a school van for mentally challenged HS kids and the one girl that she had to pick up tomorrow lives back a long dirt road, that is never plowed. my mom isnt going to risk her life or the girls life. thats just stupid.

after the accident i had last year, im terrified to drive, even if theres still snow in peoples yards!! thats what my accident was from, some snow that had somehow been tossed into the middle of my lane that i didnt notice until i came around that blind corner....

anyway, my point, people's lives are the most important thing. i dont give a shit how good of a drive u think u are...there's always exceptions and accidents always happen.
