Since teh snow been hittin teh NW area lately, I saw some pretty funny stuff at the street outside my home. I live like on top of a hill area so I get to watch people try to go up and slide back down. Myself I couldn't get my truck up that hill so I had to park it else where=/. My speedometer was readin 75 mph but i was slidin backward woot.
Here are some footage of winter driving I found that just set my mood for the day =p.
Dear skuzzie, it's also safe for work.

Thx Jenny, gave me a chuckle :aok

Ouch.

lol at the driver that bailed out of her car before it hit the others in the first video. She got lucky she didn't get hit by another car. I don't suppose it would dawn on those drivers to turn their wheel into the curb to stop/slow them down on a hill like that.
And if you have a truck, hurry!, now is probably the one and only chance/excuse you'll get this year for buying that winch and justify it's purchase to the misses. Just pull yourself up that hill, and then once at the top, charge $20 a car to winch them up to the top.

That ought to pay for that winch rather quickly.

I own a 4 wheel drive truck, when it gets that bad, I stay home. 4WD + Ice = Disaster & Big $$$$

Yup.. just because it can go..does not mean it can whoa.

Up at big Bear Lake in WV recently there was a lot of snow. I was making a right hand turn and felt my rear wheels slipping. So I pulled my emergency brake and hit the gas. I treated the slide like I would have if I was drifting on wet pavement.

Only seen snow/ice about 6 times ever 2 snow, 4 ice. :( I wanna wreck my car on another car in the ice! :cry
:lol :lol :lol

This is how we thin the moron population in New England.

Seems like Oregon would have more trucks out trying to de-ice and whatnot....Now put that mess in South Carolina....imagine what it gets like down here. :O
Perfect excuse to buy a Subaru WRX STI. Don't have one myself, but that's the only car I've ever had the pleasure of riding along inside during an inclement SC winter. Ice all over the place and it still goes like stink (and can actually stop afterwards). :aok

Every Golly-geen winter here everybody forgets how to drive in the winter. The first snow is like disaster city. I'm amazed hows many more 4x4 vehicles I see in the ditch over just regular cars because people think its made for that. If you want to drive the speed limit in the left snow covered lane, be my guest. But stay away from me and I'll enjoy my lower insurance rates.
I drove 4 1/2 hours last night (3 hour normal drive) on a trip and I eventually got off the interstate because of idiot drivers and the semis that speed past you kicking up snow, which was like hitting a wall of white fog 4 feet from your hood.
It's this time of year I pitty those in law enforcement.

lol, that hill clip reminded me of driving in the snow in Sante Fe out in the hills. There was this one hill i wan trying to get up in my 2 wheel drive truck. Took 3 tries. The last go i just piled snow and rocks in the back and locked it into first and gunned it.
-
snow? :huh
-

That's what I was thinking, They all turned their wheels away from the curb.
The one van or suv in the last film had the car stopped but then tried to move it. Doh!
-
snow? :huh
That white stuff you see on Mt. Lemmon from time to time.

Thanks. Now I'll never get that damned song out of my head!
-
Hahahahahaha.
Oh my god, that was painful to watch.
I would crack the chits something fierce if one of those knob-ends pin-balled into my car!
Of course, I garage my car in good weather so I doubt I'd have it on the street in a blizzard. :lol

I have a big 4 wheel Titan. :D I love driving in the snow. Its the one time of the year I dont feel like a lunatic for buying such a gas hog.

I heard 5-8 tonight and 2-3 tomorrow. I didn't live down here last year and remember how much snow the south got from my sister who lives here. Looks like its gonna be 2007-2008 all over again!
-
Yup looks like Massachusetts. People up here forget 4 wheel drive helps you go not stop :O

View from our kitchen..
No trouble driving with spiked winter tires btw.. :)

And unspiked winter tyres beats spiked tyres UNLESS its ice otr.

We use combo tyres, best of both worlds. Except on wet asphalt where they are too soft.

I have no idea what you guys are blabbing about.

To make it simple.. its like the difference between armbyboots and sandals.. only for your Prius and not your feet :)

Spiked or studded tires have metal pieces (think nails/screws) inserted into the tread.

How do you think those ice racers go so fast on ice? But, they have many more than shown in the pic.
Studs tear the heck out of pavement

Luckily -30 is rare in our parts. It's insane how stiff the car gets at that temperature not to mention the wear and tear it causes to the parts. At that kind of temperatures a flat tyre or small breakdown can get you in a world of hurt, literally.
At -30 it starts to get hard to even start the engine without preheating. This was the only time I could be happy about my teenage years' old 200 000mile beater BMW, it sucked gas like a sponge but started at -30 after standing there for 3 days under a pile of snow. With the first turn of the key, without fail everytime. Just as it was +30 outside.
I still remember one occasion when I left home with friends and they were laughing 100% sure the thing wouldn't even crank.. it snapped into running faster than their brand new, already warmed up cars. However that is the _only_ good thing I can say about that piece of junk! :D
-
LOL at the people jumping out of the cars. Mother nature missed THIS time.

I didn't stop my engine since Monday, was cold this week on transcanada hwy,but not bad, I used to pick up loads of beef around Edmonton,Alberta and sometimes my temperature control unit was running on "defrost", pushing warm air to maintain the temperature at 0"F(-18'Celsius), until i got south of Calgary or to Montana.

Umm.. did you mean -30F? That's sick man.. get out while you still have your ears and toes in place.. :salute

good winter tires, FWD and some common sense...never had any real trouble in winter. heck, i have just as good traction on packed snow as i do on gravel, and the snow is a helluva lot more predictable.

Took my wife two trys to get out of the Driveway with a 4WD Doge Ram pickup. The neighbor across the street didn't make it out of his drive way with his 4WD pickup and spent a half hour getting jerked out by another pickup. Heck of a storm yesterday in Michigan.
Out my front door.
