How to: Dig your 240sx out of a Canadian snowfall - Page 3 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

dori_sil8t · 03-11-2008, 09:24 AM

the worst part is i live on a main street. so i shovel and snowblow the sidewalk nice and get it prefect and a plow puts it all back. all u can do is cry

i should get one of those tourches they use at the drag strips for spills

wannabe_drifter · 03-11-2008, 10:02 AM

Can I compete for the most snow in one snowstorm and win :P

The storm was on the night between saturday and sunday.

Before we dug it out (you can see a window to the left of the garage):
(not a 240, the 240 is put away for the winter)

After it was dug out and waiting for the tractor to come to finish the rest:

That is the biggest snowstorm I have ever seen in my life !
People abandoned their cars on some roads and highways because they all got stuck. Even police cars were left there, 4x4 would also get stuck. People got out in snowmobiles !!!

Im in Barrie right now(45 minutes north of Toronto) i woke up to 5 feet of snow piled on nearly 1/4 of my driveway. We had 2-3 feet of snow over night on saturday nite. BTW, dont drink Molson, please, for the love of god. Pick up some Sleemans or Robert Simpson's(its a microbrewery here in Barrie, but its damn good beer)

EDacIouSX · 03-11-2008, 11:37 AM

holy shit that is a gang of snow

A snowboarder's heaven = My heaven

A 240's hell = My S14's hell = My hell

My heaven + My hell = My Earth

I'm doing calculus homework right now.

Good ole shithole Alcona lol. Sleemans is one of the better Canadian beers, and Robert Simpson can be found at the beer store, im not sure if all of them carry it but i know some do.
