Have you had snow yet?

[Badnina]

there is a good chance they will just shut down the interstate. I think the northern part of the state is better equipped for weather such as that then the southern. I mean....it isn't suppose to snow and sleet at the BEACH!!!!!

But currently, Mobile, AL is predicted to get 2-4" of snow Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. That is our port city.

It took Daddy Rain close to 12 hours to get to Toronto on Saturday. Long stretches of the 401 were closed cause tons of cars and transport trucks were in the ditch.

Ontarians have no idea how to drive in the snow, and they don't use snow tires.

I bet snow tires aren't even sold down here

 

[Matty]

Do you even use all-season tires? Up here summer tires are a specialty item.

 

[Badnina]

I don't think so. Most of the time IF we get any snow or ice it is here maybe 24 hours. The 1993 snow lasted 3 whole days. And we had a bad ice storm in 1996 that took awhile to melt. But no winter weather since then that has cause massive road closings and the such.

 

[Matty]

I mean, so-called "all-season" tires are really bad in Canadian winter. I thought they were the standard tire sold everywhere, buy maybe not.

Tron one more. Technically two but by the time we make it down there we'll probably be frozen and attached to eachother

 

[FairWarning]

Easier to move to the warmer weather then sweat over snow tires.

I need to take this advice.

 

[Matty]

I personally love to drive on snow with all-season tires, pulling the handbrake before every stop.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

FINALLY!!!! It's SNOWING!!!!!!!!

FINALLY!!!! It's SNOWING!!!!!!!!

Yay!

the state is slowly shutting down now.

the issue of the south with snow is that it melts and turns to ice. Or you just get sleet mixed in. The interstate in the southern part of the state is being closed in some areas and the worse part of the snow/ice that they are suppose to get hasn't arrived yet

LOL.... what is your fascination with snow and wanting snow?

Chris almighty.... we're getting 15 cm's tomorrow. No snow blow for you neighbour!!!

because we don't get much of it that often. We will get dustings of it usually once a year but any REAL snow (that you can actually measure, maybe make a snowman out of) is a rare thing. The temps here will be back in the mid-60's by the weekend.
