*njd07* · 03-09-2008, 12:04 AM

OMFG....it just snowed 2 feet tonight and is still coming down. I just got stuck like a billion times coming home from hockey practice. fucking tercel winter beater is the worst winter vehicle ever. I was debating just stripping the vins/plates and lighting it on fire, and just abandon it in the middle of the street. fuck I hate this winter. next year im getting a 4x4 truck.....or does anyone have a couch I can sleep on in someone warm..like cali?? lol. anyways I will have an update probably tommorow.. more pics.

right now Im chugging back beers, what a bad night.

SnakeKack · 03-09-2008, 12:27 AM

Wow I thought I had it bad. I've been in Ohio since August. I've come to realize that I hate snow. A lot, like I really hate it. Today was like our worst day of snow as well. I made it to work this morning but my boss sent me home cause she knew I would be spending the night at her house if I stayed lol.

I just hope most of the stuff melts before Friday, cause on that day I am moving back to warm and sunny South Florida mmmmmmm....

*njd07* · 03-09-2008, 12:28 AM

^^^ you have a free couch I can sleep on?

jstn · 03-09-2008, 01:00 AM

Looks like you got hit pretty hard in Ottawa.
It's pretty bad in Waterloo too.

To make myself fear for my life, I just watched "the day after tomorrow" again.
I am scared. I want to pack up and head down to california

Canaduh · 03-09-2008, 01:06 AM

We got a dump in winnipeg too. Although it's like -40 degrees celcius here, and a lot warmer in ottawa.

fcukven1 · 03-09-2008, 01:25 AM

man u guys out east got owned ..... calgary +12 today and no snow on the ground. but just cause i said that is probably going to snow tomorrow hahahahah

onabulletride · 03-09-2008, 03:57 AM

Funny, i did the same thing in NE ohio today. except after i cleaned it off i got to crawl around on a wet garage floor and have water drip in my eyes as i changed the oil. yeah and replace the molson with strongbow, i dont like beer.

Ninjabread · 03-09-2008, 08:24 AM

Fuck, I feel you ian... Last night at 11:30 i got stuck comming back from work. This is with a 4x4 spec 2004 neon on really good winter tires ( toyo observe GO2). I guess when the snow is higher than your bumper and it starts pilling up in front, there's no doubt you'll get stuck.

And fucking DITTO to 4x4 winter beaters. Until this year, I would have laughed in a person's face if they said they "needed" a truck for winter.

There was so much snow last night that it looked like we were in the artic. You couldn't see where the roads started or ended, no curbs.

I actually had to stop twice, in my 5km drive from work to home to help out people who got stuck. Yes, I'm that nice.

overb0ost · 03-09-2008, 09:53 AM

I heard we (Canadians) are going to get snow till may........MAY!

Global COLDING anyone?

*njd07* · 03-09-2008, 12:48 PM

MAY!!! wtf man I wanna start working on my track car(s13 in pics), and have it ready for may...this sucks. next year Im selling my zenki and tercel for a truck/snowmobile.

Adam496 · 03-09-2008, 12:54 PM

I'll trade places with one of ya Canadians!! I wish we would get snowfall like that in jersey

Where the eff do you live? It's like +10 here. Hahaha. So nice. Snow's gonna be gone soon. Roads are almost completely dry.

And a little while ago I had to help some retard get off the curb in his sunfire because he understeer failed straight through the corner. Best part was he was just in his car flooring it while two chicks tried to push it out. One of them was lifting by the bumper for some reason...

I rock an '89 Sentra in the winter... with Michelin X-Ice. Haha. Tires are worth more than the car. It does fine. I just rip in it too. Ebrake the shit out of it.

allntrlundrgrnd · 03-09-2008, 01:05 PM

molson is no good, heres the best beer in canada imo

crankshaft · 03-09-2008, 01:14 PM

*njd07* · 03-09-2008, 02:42 PM

2fast240 · 03-09-2008, 03:08 PM

That snow aint shiat!!! Where I live in maine the snow piles are over 15ft high at the top of my driveway. Had to have a big ass front end loader push it back since my cars were out on the road. I have a 2ft wide path from my door up to my cars and there is about 7ft of snow on each side. Fucken crazy. Fuck shoveling too!!!

jackjack · 03-09-2008, 03:13 PM

*njd07* · 03-09-2008, 04:40 PM

axiomatik · 03-10-2008, 07:44 AM

blech. i feel for you man. we're finally getting a patch of warm weather this week. Looks like we will actually have an entire week above freezing (fyi-normal highs right now are supposed to be ~45* f) Before this week, we have probably had less than 10 days above freezing since thanksgiving, and out of those days, I think only two have been over 40. It is just so nice to be consistently 20-25 degrees below normal all winter long.

*!Zar!* · 03-10-2008, 09:12 AM

Will this writeup work in Europe?

Adam240 · 03-10-2008, 09:28 AM

Damn wish i would have taken pictures before i cleared all mine off. All i have is this pic o my crx a few years ago in a big ice/snow storm we had.

altho you can see its been cleared out but not cleared off.

MrD · 03-10-2008, 09:50 AM

It's so bad in Montreal I almost got stuck with the fat Audi.
At least you have a driveway. Parking on the streets is such a pain.
Shovel your way out, then shovel your way back in.

Gotta love it.
I should move to Arizona!

Ninjabread · 03-10-2008, 10:26 PM

Here's a couple of pics my dad took today.

Dirty Habit · 03-11-2008, 08:56 AM

^ Holy shit! Where does all that go in the summer?
