the last 2 weeks here have been undesirable to say the least.......

 

Lol I bet. It's gonna be fun when I get home next wednesday

 

two weeks?

ok, I'll take your word on that one...

you're running all seasons right Mark?

this would be around the time of year in 2008-2010 when newer CSS owners would come to realize just how crap-tastic the OEM Conti's were in snow

 

ya two weeks lol, not all of us have a warm garage.... and laying on the ground in a 40 km wind on a cool day sux ***** so whats the point? lol

i would still run all seasons all day long, but i do have 2 winters i can use so i might as well use them

 

a warm garage?

I have one DOA slowbalt, and one car who's clutch won't properly bleed out for me in there...



I know what you mean, I do have it good, but I really haven't used it that way;
I think in early 2010 the Cobalt did get to park in the garage semi-regularly, otherwise it has infrequently been parked there (for example, I had it parked there while I was on my spring road trip this year)....

All night car wash's are great places to do oil changes, and swap tires around ~ they're MUCH warmer than my garage...

 

lol just saying it hasnt been to terribly warm these last weeks.... however sat and sun will be +15 so i will pull out the sawsall then and cut away the bolt.... also lets not forget when the woman snaps her fingers and says renovate the house i do this without aurguement

 

Ich sehe das!!

Wie heißt du?

Wo komst du?

Was ist die name?

Was fur ein auto hast du?

 

I didn't realize I was in a Calgary thread.

 

it's all good

I occasionally go to the CA thread(s) ~ then again my mom & step dad live in Hermosa Beach...

...and to add injury to insult, I'm still awaiting my SoCal Ecotec shirts

 

mmmmmmmmm cali.............

 

I didn't find the roads bad with all seasons, but I'm putting my winters on tonight

 

just in time for + 15 all next week

 

 

if it's not +15 next week I'm blaming you mark and you'll owe me a donair pizza! lol

 

lol it will be warm jon..... lol wow dale jr. is out for the next 2 races at the min.... maybe even more..... its a sad day for me........ all title hopes are gone.....

 

I know it's supposed to be warm, but I need to paint my rims, so warm weather is welcome haha

Plus if it freak snows like last night (only called for <1cm) then I would be prepared

 

ideally you want to paint when it's over 15c
I would hardly call last night "freak snow" - they were calling for it for several days in advance...

accumulation was no worse than I recall hearing the forcast's suggest what we would see either.

 

I knew it was gonna snow, but when I checked in the morning it said <1cm but we ended up getting 2-3cm

 

I could be wrong, but I've understood the precipitation forcasts have more to do with the actual water content - over the depth of the snow - as temperature, and snow flake formation would have paramount bearing on the actual perceived snow depth (or accumulation) observed.

TO look at it another way, you can have the same amount of precipitation fall in two separate areas of town, but the conditions might make the perceived amount to be different...

Precipitation (meteorology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

yup, I'm pretty sure I got that right;

Snow gauge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

*note the snow is melted then factored up.

 

Hmm I never knew that.

 

Anything after the 2-3 day forecast is all bullish!t. They make it up! Lol

 

so says the guy who is arguably the biggest cynic in the group!

 

Hopefully it will be alright on your way back. Most of the snow is gone over here.

Annnd I already found a new place for my shoes so you can now get to your winter tires

 

and best knob gobbler........... lol jonathan is essentially right about snow..... if you look at the snow we had last night.... they said 1-2 cm it was more like 3-4 inchs.......
