Winter Weather - oldeguy - 11-21-2007
Okay, I know it's only a forecast, and it's a couple of days away, but, Southern Ontario is SUPPOSED to get 5 to 10 cms of snow on Thursday. Patience ladies and gentlemen, patience..........

We got a nice little dump last night/this morning.
Got a little drifting done, was nice to swing the back end out again. B)

On the Focus? :blink: 'cause I didn't think it would be possible with your Bimmer (which IIRC is 4WD right?)
Hang the tail out? Can't do that on mine with the Nokians, if I lose the rear end on those tires, I'd better brush up on my harp playing :ph34r: (or my pitchfork polishing skills :P )

On the BMW of course! With the AWD its very easy to swing the tail end out but also very easy to keep it under control. Point & look to where you want to go and thats where the car goes! :D
Focus is hibernating for the winter months now. :(

i'm quoting my wife this morning
"Look at that stupid grin on your face" while I'm looking out the window seeing the 1st snow fall of the year, then looking at the bmw. :D :D
I look forward to bad weather. Not the bad drivers though :angry:

Y'see that's the problem. I don't necessarily mind driving in mildly inclement weather. What I do mind is that I have the share the road with f**ktards who refuse to acknowledge that conditions dictate that they slow the hell down :ph34r:

Should be interesting. On the way in this morning at 6am it was cold and wet on the QEW but most were still trying to give each other colon exams at 120km/h.

yep....switched my tires yestarday as soon as i heard about snow.......woohoo
Winter Weather - ZX5chica - 11-22-2007
Woke up this morning to lots of snow on the ground... in Ottawa. We're supposed to get another 10cm overnight.
However, my dad... trying to be a wonderful man, woke up early to put on my snows... forgot I had a shorty antenna, and somehow managed to rip the antenna from the car, taking the threading from the base with it... win some, lose some ;)

Weather update for the GTA: from 10-20 cm of snow by tomorrow night. Tonight, overnight, 5-10 cm, with the additional snow accumulation by Thursday night B)
