What crazy stuff are you guys seeing out there with all the snow. I had a very interesting walk from my parking lot to the PCC in Freemont this afternoon. Saw a guy on a moped trying to ride in 3-4 inches of snow, a lady on cross country skis and a unicyclist on the Burke Gilman Trail, and a snowmobile doing about 75mph down 34th St. It's like the circus has come to town!

I tried walking through our golf course today, damn 6 inches is not easy to walk through.
Got stuck last night after spinning out, as i went off the road I thought I was about to hit a curb, turned out to be someones lawn
. The neighbors there helped us out tho.

Matt/Birain - Snow is not a factor for Brian. Sweet truck man! Too bad you have to sell it
Steve - nice drift
Justin - nothing too crazy to see in my neighborhood. My neighbor with 2 3-series Bimmers couldn't get out due to rear wheel drive. Tried for 30 minutes, even driving in reverse up our slight hill, no soup for them
I got stuck in suburbia after trying to scout the roads last night
but it wasn't in the Volvo, it was in the Civic. There was my problem

242 + summer tires on snow = bad idea. Thankfully I used live in a snowy region of the country for a long time and I can drive in the snow, however I literally had no traction.
