I have dinner reservations at 8pm tonight. I bet the drive downtown is going to great. I should be charging the city for my plow service. Having 4" of ground clearance makes driving in a foot of snow a lot of fun.

We have a storm coming too.
I finally got my car out from the snow and ice.
I need to get my fluids replaced and car teched.
Plus some tranny work.
Just put on my track pads so it's one less thing I need to do at the track.
Never bothered with snows since I have my E30.
I have a feeling I'll be sliding around a bit on the way to VIR this weekend.

It was in the 40s earlier this week and actually thought about putting on my summer wheels. I got those IE studs to replace the wheel bolts, so swapping tires is going to be so much easier now.

What are you running for track pads? I need something more aggressive than the Axxis Ultimates that I'm running now. Do you run stock rear pads? I need to order some ATE racing blue and flush/bleed my brakes soon too.

mid 70s here.

sunny

light breeze

Florida would be nice..if it weren't for the taxes, insurance, fires, storms, illegals, criminals....

[DustenT]

This is what we have to deal with. It would be cool to see the sun...

I have RRT studs. Makes wheel changing easy.

Currently for the track I am running Carbotech XP10 up front, XP8 rear.
I used XP8 up front and Bobcats or Ultimates in the rear.
I went through the rears in no time.
Street - Carbotech Bobcats front and rear. Best pad I've found so far.
Have them on the MINI and E30.

Edit: I liked visiting Wisconsin. Oshkosh to be specific.

Aaaaahhh... Wisconsin. I spent a couple of weeks there in 1994 or 1995 officiating the SuperWeek bicycle race series. It was hot as a muthah then. And, my bicycle was made in Waterford, due west of Racine, I think.

I've also been to a few places when I had a road gig. The only one I can remember is Fish Creek, but we probably played a few casinos too.

Never been to Wisconsin.. my Mother is from Upper Michigan though, so I have an idea of what you guys go through.

[DustenT]

Holly crap, this is a lot of snow...

[CirrusSR22]

It's awesome. I just wish this happened months ago.

[pnosker]

Oh great, I leave to get back to NJ today and will arrive back at 6... the storm will be following me the whole way!

[shaggy318ti]

HAHA, you guys make me laugh. I live in BUFFALO.......where they measure snow storms in FEET not inches!! Got snow piles in the side of the road here that are up to the bottom of the STOP sign!

Gotta love those huh - I went to school in Rochester. BTW, speaking of Wisconsin, I saw a blue AT 318ti with Wisconsin plates in an FSU parking lot yesterday. I left a note on the windshield.

Yeah, you get all the lake effect snow. We are on the west side of the great lakes so we get real snow.

The extended forecast shows snow for the next 7 days! I might need to get the blizzaks replaced on the rear of car. They are down to the all-season tread.

The news said there were 7 deaths in Wisconsin last night from traffic accidents.

These are calling this a "mid latitude cyclone", something about a comma shaped spinning storm...

It snowed here a little bit, just a dusting but, people here in KS get retarded when theres any snow on the ground. I was pissed when it got cold again, on friday it was 70 and I got outta work just in time to go play 9 holes and then yesterday its like 30 again. The weatherman claims that we got "heavy snow" last night, YOU CAN STILL SEE THE GRASS!!
