I was born and raised in Colorado, so it's nice to see some flakes for a change here in Vegas!

Michelle 12-15-2008 04:05 PM

Wow! Meanwhile, it's in the 60's and raining in Maryland. I want snow. :saad:

StatenX5 12-15-2008 04:16 PM

i have to change my tires before it DOES snow hard out here....i'm trying to stunt for as long as i can...lol

Meiac09 12-15-2008 04:38 PM

StatenX5 12-15-2008 04:41 PM

How was your wild Vegas weekend with the three lady out of towners?

Krimson X 12-15-2008 05:44 PM

Crazy weather we are having. It snowed here in south Louisiana last Wednesday.

It was phenomenal. We did dinner at TAO, stayed for several hours then went to an after hours party Friday. Saturday we went to a great local Middle Eastern place for dinner and went over to Hard Rock after and ended up getting a room so we didn't have to drive! Overall, it was great time and they'll have a couple good stories to take back to Germany with them! :D

Krimson X 12-16-2008 12:22 AM

Thanks for the compliment guys. That is my son Donovan, age 5.

I didn't mean to hi-jack the thread, but snow in South Louisiana is about as crazy as snow in Vegas . Needless to say it caught us a little off guard. The following day, temps were back in the high 60's...low 70's.

I totally agree! My dad is in Galveston right now working with a non profit to rebuild homes, and he called me to tell me about the same storm you guys had. He sent me a pic message and it was weird to see snow right up against the beach where a hurricane just hit months ago! :yikes:

Once when I was coming down Vail Pass on the way home after skiing I put it in neutral and I think I broke 20mpg coasting! :D

LOL Damn.

Mine averages 19.2 mpg per tank. :nanana:

trueX5er 12-16-2008 06:59 PM

It's a nice 16 deg here in IL, up from 8 or so. It was in the 50's on Sunday!

It's been snowing ALL DAY and it's sweet, except I couldn't take the X and had to settle for a car that sucks in the snow :D

Since he didn't appear to have a job, Knuckles thought the snowman was a hippie and you know what that means.....

Well it's snowing again here in Vegas - this time much harder than before! On top of the 6 inches I had at my house on Monday, there's another 6 inches today and forecasted up to 10 inches where I live :wow:

FINALLY I can justify having an AWD vehicle in Vegas! :rofl:

Here is Woodville, Texas a few days ago! Had some extra time when I finished work.

Weasel 12-21-2008 11:45 PM

I got to cut my teeth in with the snow in Jersey!

Did you know that a rental toyota matrix can do a perfect 45 degree drift around a curvy road at a mere 15-20 mph with the proper feathering if the e-brake handle? I felt like I was in the slow motion recap of a road race drift!

Did you know that if you put that same matrix in an empty, snow filled parking lot... and put it in reverse with the wheels turned then hit the gas and pull the e-brake, it will do donuts pivoting around the rear tires... :D

So at least I got to enjoy driving/playing in the snow on empty roads in a rental with insurance!

cmyX6go 12-22-2008 06:07 AM

16 degrees this am, 0 degree wind chill. 32 mph winds with gusts up to 40 mph. BRRRRRR

Michelle 12-22-2008 11:03 AM

Is that what a snow weasel looks like?

It was 8F when I woke up this morning with a -6F wind chill. Brrrrr! The winds were out of control last night! The wreaths on my windows were scraping against the windows all night and it sounded like nails on a chalkboard. :scared:

motordavid 12-22-2008 11:19 AM

Our neighbors back on the Mtn at 5,000 feet, reported 3 degs F this am, heading for maybe 15, :rolleyes:

A nice 50 here this am in SW FLA, heading for ~70 F.
Gee, I miss snow & cold...;)
