[CXhatchboy520]

For god's sakes, we have had Winter Storm Watches all year, can we PLEASE get some snow with this one?????????????????

[Ashton]

[SleeperZ]

I love the snow. It's the :guns: crappy drivers in the snow I can't stand.

[celica man]

i hate snow in the city but it only snows like 5 days out of the whole year.

i do like snow it the mountains though.

[Skaterkid]

Snow in the city sucks. Like certain people cutting you off, causing you to lock your brakes, hitting a curb and making you pay 600 bucks for a new control arm. Plus it makes you drive slow :ring:

[Mario]

I love the snow... that's why I am in Colorado - while a Honda with no E-Brake isn't fun, it's drivable..

Now, the really sucky part - I have to work tonight. :(

[STIBungy]

I like snowboarding, so I dont mind the snow. How about a HAI snowboaring/ski trip sometime?

[celica man]

im up for it

[djet820]

I'm going to Winter Park for 3 days from New Years eve till the 2nd. We're having a keg of fat tire and corona I think.

[RiceBurner00]

We got about 8 inches of snow here in the last few days

[Steve_C]

personally i love the snow, the only thing i can't stand are stupid drivers when it snows.

[ryanman]

Snow in South Texas? I wish.

[chris_venturini]

I agree on the snowboard meet. A-Basin? less crowded, less money, board park.

[V8SpankR]

I want another blizzard like last year so I can go play in it now that I have a truck.

[Mr. NoSkills]

i'll be up at breck friday-sunday. my buddy is in the vans triple crown up there so...
if you guys go lemme know, you can go see coolio with us.
yes, coolio will be there.

:werd:

just make the snow on the weekend so i dont miss work.

[Brian]

Looking out my window at work it's snowing pretty good. They just sent us a mass e-mail with a number to call in case they have to close the site tomorrow, so that's pretty awesome.

[2000SiVTEC]

I don't want it to snow a lot. I really hate the snow, mostly because if it snows I don't work. Oh well i don't think it will be that big of a snow.

[djet820]

Hrmm now it's falling hard down here. about 3 hours ago or so it as sunny without a cloud in the sky. Oh well, I love it.


A-Basin? where's that at chris? We shoudl go Winter Park, hot chiks :D!

[Brian]

Is it still snowing hard in colorado springs? Our glass is tinted in our building, so I can't see jack shit after the sun goes down.

well where do you work? I'm by Dublin and Academy and it's basically fogged up with snow. Our parking lot didnt' have a drop of snow except for when it melted (that was 10 min ago) and now it's covered with snow. I can barely see the street lights or anybody driving on academy.

[chris_venturini]

Arapahoe Basin in by breckenridge and copper and all those places, winter park is too expensive. All ski resorts have ski bunnies.:D

Monarch has very few though. Breck has a good amount though.


As for A-basin, you said it's a boarding place? I need to learn how to board, I just can't toe-heel, it's so sad. I'm a skiier myself

[chris_venturini]

you can ski, you just wont be as cool as me :cool:

[djet820]

you can ski, you just wont be as cool as me :cool:

Then teach me how to toe-heel easily. I can heel-toe and brake but I can't toe-heel. Last time I tried to learn by myself, it was the most painful 4 hours of my life.

[Ashton]

Hahaha i hate snow but im down for a board meet.

[-=[Juztin]=-]

Hell ya, that was a fun drive home LOL

[celica man]

[-=[Juztin]=-]

DAYUM! It's really falling where youre at man! Drive safe bro!

[djet820]

Poor hatchie.

[Mr. NoSkills]

snow is blowing around like a motherfucker up around north d-town.
the truck drivers said it's getting a little slick too.

I ghave to stay here till 11 and THEN go home. After all of it freezes and makes black ice...yay I get to go uphill with a bent control arm!!!

[STIBungy]

Yeah, I'm glad I'm home. I put my snow tires on at 3, went back to work just to leave at 4:30. Bah!

It's slick up around 92nd and Federal too. Lady in front of me hit the brakes and went into the curb. Then I see some idiots fly by her really fast and not to be evil or anything, but I was hoping they'd slide and cause an accident.

[LeonZ]

justin has his winter 20 inch rims and RWD for safe snow driving :D

[Ashton]

lol i thought those were 18's.......

I'm up at research and explorer which is just north of chapel hills mall. I drove over to taco bell for lunch/dinner and it was icy as hell. Hopefully the plows hit the roads before I get off work at 10. I only have to drive over to garden of the gods, but still...........

[djet820]

Well ti seems to have calmed down and I'm not really seeing anymore snow falling. I'm just afraid of black ice.

[Mr. NoSkills]

yeah, same up here.
it's still pretty windy out though, which is no good.
i'll have another update in about 40-50 minutes, stay tuned.

I'm down to

Is it still snowing hard in colorado springs? Our glass is tinted in our building, so I can't see jack shit after the sun goes down.
I was in the Springs. I just got back I left I-25 and Filmore at about 4:20 and now I'm in lakewood almost 4 hours later. The drive was such a blast I almost killed this female in an avalon. For some reason she thought C-470 was 5 lanes instead of 2 I kept flashing my lights and she cut me off, I started to slide and came about 2 inches from her rear driver door. well time for me to go play in the snow some more. I shall return ;)

[Mr. NoSkills]

well now i look like a chump.
more snow now, pretty good amount. slick as shit. these guys are having trouble getting 53' foot trailers to stay put, think about your little cars.
don't get too crazy tonight guys.

[djet820]

it's calm down a lot now. Not a drop of snow at all and the roads seem to be getting plowed.

that is your Colorado Springs update, more to come.

[Jackrabbit]

All I know is that Glycol crap (or wahtever it is) that they spray downtown sucks ass. It's so damn slick down there, but as soon as I got into cap hill it was fine.

[Bedlam]

Just got home from work..pretty nasty drive from down there...the roads are just plain fukt in some spots..yay winter. :p

-Bedlam

[TXKompressor]

snow is the shizzle and I love to drive in it, its like drifting to the extreme... WOotwoOT

[HondasTrail]

Heh just walked to 7-11 at astrozon and jet wing and damn near fell and broke my knee five times. Next time shit like this is going on and I wanna go to 7-11 I'll drive there.

[djet820]

man you live far down south, how are the roads down there?


and as for up here north in the sprigns, it's black ice....so be careful.

[HondasTrail]

yea its pretty much the same down here. ALL black ice and slick as hell right now some idiot is trying to do donuts right out here on jetwing.

[djet820]

hahaha funny stuff. I'm thinking of going down to the sams club parking lot after work....


And why are the roads so bad down tehre? even without snow the roads are horrible down south. I went there yesterday to get some pho and my goodness, the roads are all cracked and has potholes everywhere.

[HondasTrail]

um well yea ever since the blizz of '97 the city has just kind of ignored us down here in the ghetto.

[djet820]

hahahaah gotta love the city of colorado springs.

[Cheio]

hahahaah gotta love the city of colorado springs.

This morning before it started to snow they started spraying stuff on the roads. It seems like it's worse then it is usually. I have 2 bald tires on the back, 1 bald tire on the front, and 1 brand new tire on the other side of the front. Now that's interesting...

Denver update: Looks like it stopped here. (East Denver. Quebec and Illif)

[Canuck]

I had to leave my car. I can;t seem to avoid hills so I keep getting stuck. I may have to buy snow tires. This is getting rediculous.

[Mario]

I didn't get stuck once while working tonight... no uncontrollable slides either, I am happy. :)

My car has those snow things around the wheel wells again... :(

Haha nuttin like hittin the brakes with one good front tire and the rear end passes the front. Done that a few times.

[djet820]

Road report:

Well it definitely is ALL black ice but nothing a good driver should be able to avoid. It's really easy to drive on as long as you don't go crazy. There is this one spot that's really bad by my house though. I was trying to turn at 5 mph and my car wouldn't turn, I had the steering wheel facing the right and it kept going straight. I started laughing.

[Skaterkid]

Well, the Storm seems to handle this stuff much better. Didn't get stuck on any hills, no loss of control, only locked the brakes once. I'm quite happy.

[stu]

I sucked water into my motor on 6th on the way to my final (which I found out wasn't even today) today at like 1:00. The last snow messed up my fender lining, and it ended up ripping out. I was a little worried about it, but not too much. Anyway, I was in the left lane going 65, and since I knew it was cold out, I pushed the throttle all the way to the floor (in fifth) to see what pressure reading I'd get on theSAFC. Well, instead what I got was a big fat bog. So, I resumed to partial throttle to keep my speed constant, in hopes of making it all the way to school. Any time I did anything with the gas I got a bog, so I started getting over to the right just in case. Well, the ruts are even worse in the middle lane (Southbound 6th) and all the lane changing didn't help. After I got to the middle lane I couldn't even keep a constant speed, so I got over again into the right lane to exit on Sheridan. When I came to a stop on the ramp to go south, the car died and wouldn't start again. At first it would start then die, then it wouldn't start at all. After a few more tries (along with some wonderful grinds from the starter) it started again, but would die, then I finally got it started and pulled it into the Gordo's parking lot. I noticed that while I was on the highway, a lot of white steam seemed to be comoing out of my tailpipe, but I couldn't really tell if it was from the water in the enigne, or the water on the street.

Anyway, I ended up leaving it there all day and all night. I bought a short ram from John (SpeedStar91) but it didn't fit under the hood. So I ended up just putting the new filter right onto the throttle body. All is good now though. I hope anyway.

[Mr. NoSkills]

well shit. i got home about an hour ago. I-25 wasn't too bad. it's all pretty much packed snow though so you can't really see any lanes. same with santa-fe. nothing crazy though, it only took me about 10 more minutes then when it's dry out.
it's still kind of snowing though. i bet tomorrow morning will be fun haha.

[-=[Juztin]=-]

justin has his winter 20 inch rims and RWD for safe snow driving :D

LOL, they get me to and fro actually, but this morning sucked major ass to drive. I hit the snow covered roads AND highways at 4am, and didn't get to work till 6:30 :rolleyes: Shoulda stayed home :Peace:

[LeonZ]

yeah, i had to almost run a red light on hampden because i couldnt stop in time and i wasnt gonna try..

[V8SpankR]

I like having a truck but my AWD Eclipse acutally handled better in the snow since AWD is better than 4wd.

[LeonZ]

i hope to have AWD for next winter.

[ryanman]

I wish I could use my AWD this winter. Texass sucks. I'm moving back.

[TXKompressor]

yeah I was driving home from some girls house and some idiot in raised truck wanted to race me. He had wide ass tires and was all over the road he had very little traction. AWD OWNZ! Hope he wasn't too mad.

[djet820]

The roads down here in the springs are like totally dry now. The sand is the only thing that's scaring me now.
