So its that time again.

Anyone know if we are getting hit or if its a mild first snow? I went out and put gas in the car and it was coming down pretty good. All the cars that where parked outside where covered.

PS: Vik you better slap those snow tires on or this is going to be you

Yeah... well I don't know about the *woot* thing. I'm slapping the snow tires on the DD tomorrow or Tuesday. I've got to get a mouse of the vent system in the dang thing! *sigh*

Trying to decide whether it's worth putting all seasons on the GS400 too so I have a backup.

I think I need to plan a business trip to Phoenix for next week. I'm getting too old for the cold! *brrrrr*

My nexens held up the 32 degree 4 hour drive round trip to and back from Wisconsin today, along with the snowfall.

My car Tuesday will be swept into the ugly winter-mode.

brrr..

I just washed and waxed the car and an hour later, the wonderful snow appeared. Murphy's freakin law!!!! We always seem to get hit December 1st every year. The past three years have been a headache as I have always been delayed at O'Hare or another airport. No more December travel for me.

Nothing like a FWD pull on ice and snow into a curb.

I put my snow wheels on last weekend. So you can blame all this weather on me.

Hehe. I took the car for a spin before putting it in the garage. Lost traction in first gear even before turbo started spooling. The car will probably live in the garage for next few weeks.
