god i wish i had the motivation to get up and go back outside.
i spent the afternoon shoveling my old ford probe out, the untouched snow surrounding it was up to the windows, it had 1foot+ on top of the car, all untouched and not from snow blowers/plows.

i should have taken some pictures but its all dark outside now.

im pretty sure its like 2.5 - 3 feet of snow. in downtown saint paul, mn.
(not new snow, but it did mostly come in one night)

IIRC this pic was taken on a frozen lake. In a couple weeks I'll be doing an ice driving event on Georgetown Lake. It's about an hour West of Denver and sits at like 9000', should be fun as hell.

What I woke up to yesterday (first snow of the season, and I was excited).

The roads were horrible, the car was rock solid! quattro FTMFW!

SickB5, McGovs, the car in that pic belongs to flynnr, he's a member here and i maintain that as one of the best snow driving pics i've ever seen

Dude that is nothing (well for Texas I suppose it is). Here in GA we got 4 inches where I live. Thats not the fun part though, because that's nothing for a quattro. Once the snow stopped the freezing rain started covering the snow in about a quarter inch of ice. I have been driving by cars abandoned on the side of the road. Hell I was driving on I-75 (which was a sheet of ice) and picked someone up whose 4X4 SUV went off the road. Been on several ice covered steep hills and not a single slip...I LOVE AUDI!!! People that are walking on roads that would otherwise have traffic backed up just look at me like "Is this guy serious?" I had to wave as another B5 A4 drove by both of us laughed. Even when I have it in 1st gear and push the gas to MAKE the tires spin it just catches and goes. If I have it my way I will never drive anything other than an Audi.
