Dammitt!!!!!!! I wanted to drive my car today and tomorrow but didn't today b/c I thought the snow would be here BEFORE 6-8PM...and there is NO WAY I will be able to drive it tomorrow since there will DEFINATELY be snow on the ground...

I should have drove it yesterday. Its been almost 3 weeks straight since it has been driven! I miss it!!!

ouch, the weather must be bad up there for you magikal?? I live in PA but I've been able to ride my bike for most of the past couple weeks :P

Well...it hasn't been horribly bad. But I don't have snow tires on my car and it has snowed enough to cover the ground in Auburn Hills almost every day it seems like. Even a coating on the roads and its hard to control the car on the Dunlops.

If you have ever lived in MI, then you know NEVER to rely on the weather forcast for any season, especially winter! So its just safer to drive the truck then to crash into something in the car after snow falls that wasn't even predicted.

Anyone want to take bets on when the salt trucks hit the road?

Way to look ahead of time weather wise for washing your car.

And screw the salt trucks. Did you get snow tires yet?? I did, and I'm going driving in a couple of hours to have fun in this stuff!

Down here in Ohio we got dumped on 5 inches in 3-4 hours and it's still coming down. Expecting 9+ inches total.
