Really!! I mean we had like 24 hours of rain that made all the snow dissapear and all the salt get washed away.... And then we wake up to SNOW!! At 11pm the wife and I were in the hot tub in the rain!! Then I wake up and she says "look at all the snow we got" I was about to slap her and say "never joke like that! (joking of course)". But it was true... And I was all ready to take the S2 out next sat... I HATE ONTARIO! Sorry I had to vent.

I'm with you guys. I hate this winter beyond belief.

I took the bmw out of storage yesterday as they didn't predict any snow and the salt should have all washed away - wake up this morning and BAM. Looks like it will be staying put for a while...and it looks like my summer wheel&tire shopping for the s2k can hold off for a while longer.


F U Winter.

i'm going to go play some GT5 and hibernate.

good thing you don't live in London this year, sucks big time. I think we still have about 3-4 weeks of snow, I won't think of taking the car out of storage until mid April this year. On Friday we had a freak ice storm blast through, it was in and out in 30 minutes. The roads went from damp rain to an ice rink within seconds, you couldn't even see the ice and cars were spinning out in every direction, vehicles flipped over in ditches and facing the wrong direction in medians along the 401. 30 minutes later it was back to wet roads. In my 28 years of driving I've never seen such a freak event. This year is fooked.

This is as far as I could get my car out, I had to burp the cooling system after installing a Mishi radiator and silicone hoses (didn't want CO fumes while idling in the garage). I just took the car out 10 feet. I spun the wheels trying to get traction to get back into the garage. It was enough to make a mess of the underside and rear wheel wells. This region sucks balls.

The spitting continues here. Last weekend we were raking our lawn and I bought 2 bags of weed and feed expecting to put it on the lawns within a couple weeks, looks like that was wishful thinking.

summer tires are a def no no in any type of snow!
