[johngriff]

Not molsons! jesus fing christ, that was the worst beer i had in BC.

Nice dig out though, I've never had to deal with that much snow.

[s13 drifta]

Did you scratch your cars in the process? Looks like fun.

[Apathic]

[GSXRJJordan]

[njd07]

I dunno, but better then the roof being caved in, its suppose to snow agian tonight, another 30-50cm(1.5 feet).

[Viggs]

Remove shit from garage. Park cars in garage. Then the next time it snows heavy, laugh at everyone else on your block when they have to dig their cars out. :keke:

[njd07]

btw +rep for whover can identify what car is in garage on the left.

[dori_sil8t]

snowblower. mine shoots snow a good two drivewayz over

both garages already have cars in them. wish I could afford winter storage.

[rican_nick]

if that much snow fell in my area, the world would stop.. grocery stores/gas pumps would be empty.. churches would be full and there would be hundreds dead in car accidents..

[downshift_sideways]

This makes me appreciate the crappy weather in the bay area.

[jackjack]

holy hell. looks like me cleaning my driveway. ahahhahaha good times.

[Ninjabread]

haha fuck ian, so much snow!!!

the snow banks at my mom's are like 12 ft high, but you know, you've seen em.

Bleh... shit gives me a headache the next day.

[Ninjabread]

Yuo are teh weak.

I bet you don't drink hard liquor either? :keke:

Wine is what makes me suuuuper hung over.

But meh, a nice beer after a hard afternoon's work is called for!

[xplicit240]

i havent seen that much snow since the 90's. i would love if it happened in my area. i would bust out my snowboard.

thats winter pwnage!

[njd07]

I never really get a hang over after beer, its when I drink the hard shit, beer has enough water in it to prevent a hang over.

[mayco_86]

Now I remember why I like living in SOCAL. But then again cops are dicks out here.

[axiomatik]

Looks like my driveway, though I don't have any cars in it. Here in iowa this is the second snowiest season ever (at least in my neck of the woods), going back to 1861. The piles of snow on each side of the driveway got to about 6 feet tall, though they've melted down a little bit now. Started pushing snow down the sidewalk and shovelling it there when I got tired of throwing it over the 6' piles.

ya I use to snowboard like everyday, but for some reason im bored of it now. been to every hill, every run, I need to hit up a real mountain like whistler, BC. one day I will go drop-in heli snowboarding. This year I got back into hockey, fuck im weird.

[spool_sample]

Great write-up, this should be stickied.

:p

tonight if it snows like its suppose to(1.5 feet), were suppose to break the record for the most snow in a season here in Ottawa. hasnt snow this much since the 70's or some shit. fucking nuts, I wanna work on my cars, this isnt helping.

[ByeByeSti]

ouchhh wish i had a pick of my s14 at my shop, and the my audi in the front yard, if it didnt rain last night id take a pic of my moms vette in thr front yard, you couldnt even tell it was out there at all. cant wait to get out of the snow in a few more months!

[fbiphil]

Nice work! You know Canadian beer's like moonshine!

Hell yes!

[adrians_s13]

Nice write-up! very detailed!

I'll keep in mind just in case hell freezes over (Cali)

[dori_sil8t]

its a shit strom again. its a fun drive with a rps street maz 6 puck dual diaphram clutch. but meh u gotta do what u gonna do. the city should pay me for plown with my car lol

[sr20boostn20]

hahaha,

looks like a grand ol time, hope the snow wasnt that heavy wet shizzzz

[silviaguy240]

i see no car in the garage, so im going for the one infront of your s14, and im going to say its a pignose coupe.

[Sonic Motor]

sux to live in where it snows that much....I havent seen snow for a very long time. Hahahahha

[njd07]

i see no car in the garage, so im going for the one infront of your s14, and im going to say its a pignose coupe.

if you look closely you can see the outline of an s14 mirror lol....look at my sig.I know its very hard to see....crappy camera

[njd07]

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. :bash:

[SnakeKack]

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]

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

[jstn]

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]

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

[fcukven1]

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]

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]

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]

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

Global COLDING anyone?

[njd07]

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]

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]

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

[angrychickens]

[2fast240]

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]

i'm soooooooooo sick of this weather already.......... ungh.

[njd07]

[Ninjabread]

fuck. i was outside for 5hours todya

[mr_240sx]

dammm not looking forward to this weather tuesday night when i land in ottawa :(

[axiomatik]

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!]

Will this writeup work in Europe?

[Adam240]

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]

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]

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

[dori_sil8t]

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]

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 !!!
More pics in the picture of the day thread.

[DudebuD]

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]

holy shit that is a gang of snow

[Tops*]

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. :keke:

[njd07]

Btw. That koho goal stick is oooooold. Havent seen one of those since i was a kid.

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.
