Jorsher · « **Reply #4 on:** December 09, 2009, 05:18:51 PM »

We had snow for a day which is very uncommon here. Shittons of rain for a couple days. Shittons of wind still.

But, bright blue sky and in the 40s.

Huntsville, AL

From Fond du Lac and have family there/racine/oakfield, etc. Haven't been there during the winter in years but I know last time I was there it was -30s for the windchill and of course snow.

We went there last summer in July and the weather was fucking amazing. Low 70s/high 60s during the day, and at night needed a jacket.

Teg2boo · « **Reply #8 on:** December 09, 2009, 05:47:34 PM »

No, there's no window there lol I opened the door to take the shovel and the snow stayed there like that.

92CXyD · « **Reply #9 on:** December 09, 2009, 05:51:20 PM »

Yeah we already had our share here in Wyoming.

Now we get to enjoy some -20F or worse with wind chills. ;D

Teg2boo · « **Reply #10 on:** December 09, 2009, 05:54:57 PM »

It only -3C here. ;D I think I prefer cold weather to snow. At least the road are dry at those temp.

92CXyD · « **Reply #11 on:** December 09, 2009, 05:56:00 PM »

I like driving on snow @ 15F and colder the tires stick better. :yes:

patsmx5 · « **Reply #12 on:** December 09, 2009, 06:06:48 PM »

It's 52*F here. Wish it would warm up a little.

Fuck that. I'll take my humid ass summers over having to deal with that BS. I don't see how you guys do it, the rust alone would piss me off enough to move.

ochoa · « **Reply #17 on:** December 09, 2009, 07:28:28 PM »

the bad thing is that these are how our winters are and our summers are humid as fuck 85-90 degrees+ humidity sucks.... Your right rust sucks you see a 10-15 yrd old car without rust its a gem haha even 3-5 yrd old vehicles rust here if there not matained with all the salt and shit they use on the roads

It gets cold here (at least what we call cold). Hits in the 20's during the winter, was in the low 50's today. Your humidity is nothing compared to ours. Our humidity gets down to 60% during the winter. During the summer that shit hit's 100% with 100*+ temps sometimes. Nothing like walking out the door to get punched in the face by a wall of heat. Than again seeing cars that have been sitting out in a field for 20 years with just a little surface rust is always nice.

I'm in Buffalo, NY now, its supposed to get pretty rough tonight and tomorrow. Been windy as hell, lights flicker from time to time. Had Grape size Hail this morning. High was about 38 today, I'll post up pics if it gets like they claim.

We are on the southern tip of the storm in N. Indiana. I would love to have that much snow about right now....
I woke up this morning to rain, then it turned cold about 2 this afternoon and now everything is snow and ice. Everything is closed, and some of the roads are just straight shut down, so i'm told.

Haha most of Arizona doesn't, but Flagstaff is at 7000ft and at the northern end of AZ. Theres actually even a small ski resort 15 min north of town

We got the blizzard last weekend, then the temp dropped down to -30C's (-22F) I think it was Monday it got down to -37C (-35F) makes a it a bitch to start the TDI even with it plugged in all night. Finally warmed up today to a balmy -14c (7F) but the snow started again, not getting dumped on like last weekend, but we will probably get 3 or 4 inches by the time it is said and done. Last weekend we got about 10" plus the big winds to drift it around like the OP's pics.
