Heh yeah nothing like pretty red and blue first-responder lights flashing off the new snow and wreckage at yet another accident caused by some touch-hole in a Chevy truck thinking that his 4wd enables him to safely do 85mph on frozen roads. At least, that's how this area gets a festive holiday look lol

geez Don, you need to get some better friends. Glad your car is OK and thanks for sharing.

Weather here is 20's with windchill in the single digits (not too far from CCA4), just light flurries with no accumulations yet (waiting anxiously with the kid)

I love him none the less! I'm just glad we got it unstuck! I really wish I would of just went down the neigbors drive then went across the yard... I think I would of made it!

We've gotten about 2-2.5 feet since sunday night! I love playing in the snow, I even bought a jump suit (the black on in the pics) to play in the snow and stay warm!!!

It was definitely not the quattro that failed you... it was the lack of intelligence...

Just saying

LOL, nice pics! Looks very similar conditions to my house. We got 16"+ over the weekend, with another 4-6" coming tonight. There's so much freaking snow in town that they are running out of places to put it. Big dump trucks are hauling it out to the country to get rid of it.

My B5 is laughing all the way as she gracefully dances through the white stuff, tho.

Oh, it was also a balmy -15 F the past few nights after the snow fell. Talk about adding insult to injury!

A little cold here in Socal, but seeing how cold it was going to be in FL made me laugh. They showed Miami looking at 30 deg temps and even in GA it was going to be around 16 degs.

I just changed my front brakes in Atlanta in 30 degrees Fahrenheit...
almost slipped off wooden stairs on side of house from freezing rain icing up the steps...
it was almost like being back in Kansas...
