That sound you hear is the collective sigh of relief of all the members of this board in the mid-Atlantic area who bought snow tires this season and are finally watching it snow!!!!I thought for a minute I heard Winter Tire Guy out there too, who has no doubt been sharing our pain....Thanks Sublime!Before any snow trucks materialize, I am going to get right out there and give those Altimaxes a spin

have fun doing some donuts DON'T hog all the snow... send some myway.

And finally here in balmy New England this evening. We have a little over 3 inches on the ground and it's still snowing at a fairly good rate.Can't believe Texas... even down to Houston beat us to the slick stuff this year. It was colder in Brownsville, Tx. yesterday (Friday 4 Dec) than it was here. Somehow, not correct.

i've been waiting for snow. only have had a dusting. i put my blizzaks on during thanksgiving avoidances.

Ottawa is forecast to have a 20cm snowstorm this coming Wednesday. First winter snowstorm around here invariably means accidents everywhere, and the well prepared such as myself have to deal with all the stupidity out there on the road.

7" here in the high spots of Morris County NJ!

1 freaking lousy inche hereMy parents who live an hour north got 5inches.

we have around 20 inches in the last 2 days.

We had here in Lowell Ma 'bout 4" and I was out in it during (work) and love the fact that the Blizzacks are in their element during these conditions.

We're also forecast to get that same storm in Montreal and the Vibe will miss it all as she hibernates for the winter. Let it snow, let it snow let it snow.

LoL... We had some, bur it's already gone.. Heck it was 50* on Nov 27... lol.. I haven't even bothered with the snows yet... lol... The first few snows never stick anyway.. lots of black ice at night though..

Then rain Wednesday, turning into snow later on, and high's in the mid 20's Thursday.

finally got enough snow to cover the ground. barely. now i just need some errands to run. i just hope people aren't driving slow as heck. i should put a bumpersticker on my car that reads, "stop driving stupid in snowGET WINTER TIRES" or "all season tires aren'tGET SNOW TIRES". i'm in one of the places that gets an ok amount of snow, nothing compared to some of the michigan, canadian, and nothern vibers, but drivers here act as if even the littlest dusting is deadly and drive 20mph on the highways.

Quote, originally posted by ou.grizzly »Do you think having winter tires allows a person to driver faster even if the conditions are not good?yes? ;P if the snow is fully covering the road i'm going slow too. it's the dustings that really get me. the ground isn't even wet and people are going super slow. like right now the roads are maybe 1/4 covered by snow. i will be driving slowly and accelerating carefully as not to spin out and also give me more control so i can avoid other drivers who are losing control.

20cm and maybe more wednesday/thursday.... it's about time...!

We got 7" in Old Orchard Beach, ME...I drove in it on the 17" tires that came with my 09 Vibe...no problems at all...this is a great car in the snow.

another 2-3 inches expected tonight and 10 to 14 more inches tomorrow. yay. The vibe does ok in the snow I do miss the AWD as I am afraid to try to climb some of the snowy hills here....

Sublime is scrambling for those snow tires now!

Still no snow here.... What did fall a few days ago is gone (barely 2cm).-15C right now... supposed to be -20C in the morning...There's lots of snow in the mountains, plenty in Alberta...It's been quite a few years since the last green christmas and I'm not looking forward to another.Grumble..... (need snow, please fed-ex some quickly!!!)

Hey star, careful what you wish for. You live in a quite an area. I use to live in Whitefish, Mt., and took several trips through southern BC. Probably one of my favorite Provinces. Hope you get some snow soon!

As long as it gets here before christmas!

4" last night, turning to rain...... up to 2" of rain is forecast, just imagine if it stayed snow??? .....heaven. Sadly right now it is 4" of Slurpy. Just add some cola flavor and you're good to go!

Bummer, dude. Not fun stuff to move or drive in. It started snowing here at 7:30 am and now have 3 inches of new on the ground... over 1" per hour. Hope it doesn't go over to rain... might along the coast. I'm about 15 miles inland and near 700 feet elevation, so we'll see.
