Default We get Rain... the west gets snow [photo's]

Well as Colorado and the Mnt states are getting blasted with snow... here in good `ol Wisconsin we are getting cold 34F rain... We suck. We got 1.5" on the first of December but that melted away in the week we had 50's.
Anyway... im taking a trip out to Colorado in 2 weeks and i installed my better Stock rims/blizz tires on today and went out and snapped a few pictures in the cold rain.

Old rims/tires (now forsale)



Stock's w/ brand new tires

Fould out i had a broken tri-pod so i did my best to hold the camera as still as i could.









Mmmm rain drops

I'm heading up to tahoe in a few days, and the forecast is for a minimal amount of snow, with rain mixed in. How am I supposed to ski???

Let's hope the resorts are on top of their game, and are making plenty of the white fluffy stuff at night....

I'll probably be taking my A4 up to Tahoe sometime the week after Christmas, or maybe New Year's weekend... we'll see. They have intermittent chain restrictions on 80 & 50 going up to Reno/Tahoe. Quattro should be fun up there.

Colin519... you have one license plate bulb out.

Nice pics... I think its funny how people in Cali act like it never snows here and the weather is always great...
The great thing about Cali is that you can get to the snow, desert, coast, forrest, anywhere in a matter of hours...

We get plenty of snow, I have even seen it snow where I live (twice in my lifetime) and I am only 100 feet above sea level...

One nice thing about living in NorCal, is that you can go snowboarding in Tahoe in the morning, and make it to Santa Cruz in time to watch the sunset on the beach.
