SNOW!!!!


Marika

Recommended Posts

I cleaned my car off this morning and went for a drive around 7:30 here in Northern New Jersey. Granted, there's no one on the road so driving was actually very easy but the Caddy, with the 4 Dunlop snow tires, handled everything perfectly well.

Some of the plow operators were giving me the thumbs up as we passed each other. It was actually fun to drive in that mess.

I saw a few Japanese cars caught on the side of the road, all-season radials are not exactly the right tires to use in this type of weather, but the VW Golf that was right in front of me was zooming along as easily as I was, he too had "snows" on his wheels. :lol:

If you really want to make people safe drivers again then simply remove all the safety features from cars. No more seat belts, ABS brakes, traction control, air bags or stability control. No more anything. You'll see how quickly people will slow down and once again learn to drive like "normal" humans.

Hi Marika,

we had some snow over here too. My SLS also has Dunlop Snow tires. No problems at all, good traction, easy to drive. Many rear wheel drive cars of the same size have more difficulties driving in the snow !

Cheers

I was just out in this mess myself on Long Island, we have about 10 inches and I zoomed right through it.... stopping on the other hand is not as easy...

The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises

The roads are a disaster this morning around here where I live. Plowing is almost nonexistant and everything is an iced up mess. Schools are all closed and I have a feeling that trying to get to work today will be a nightmare. Stay tuned.

Yup, it's pretty much a similar disaster here in Suffolf County as well. But, as "BodybyFisher" noted, we got only about a foot or so. Happily, however, we DID see some plows. When I lived in Nassau County a snow plow was a rare sight during a snowstorm. Suffolk County, in my limited two year experience, is different.

The LIRR (Long Island Rail Road) is essentially dead in the water. An awful lot of folk won't be going where they expected to go today.

Really glad today is my normal day off.

Warren

P.S. It is now a crispy 13 degrees outside.

It's about 76 degrees out today. Light breeze and a few clouds overhead. :P

Yeah, but we'll have the last laugh when you float out into the Pacific. :D:D:D

Regards (sort of),

Warren :rolleyes:
