Default Icey Rain and Snow in April

This really sucks. Everyone put on their summer radials and rims and now no one can go out tonight. I swore it was so sunny last week we were wearing t-shirts and convertibles had their tops down.

The snow has been hardened by the ice to a degree that I know a few friends can't even get into their garages because their cars are too low. haha

Now would be a great time to own an SUV. :thumbup:

Only in Canada....snowed enough to cancel school in April....

Not icy enough here. Roads are just wet, everything else is freezing up.

It got up to about 25 degrees here today. Every school in the tv Viewing area was closed. It was over 300 closings.

I had like 3/4 an inch of ice on my car this afternoon. It got even worse as the day went on. I drove home from work not even breaking the 25mph mark(and that was highway driving)
I never realized how bad low Pro's and wide rims would handle in the snow.

what happened to the sunny weather of a couple weeks ago

It's like getting worse. Pure icey rain.

My buddy's car got stuck in the parking lot. Lowered e46 with summer tires and a body kit doesn't seem to like ice. Took 5-6 guys to push it out after 20 mins.
