Just got home, and saw: 3 Tractor-Trailers jack-knifed 5 cars stuck on the on-ramp in front of me One foot of wet snow on the roads, more on side roads Transformers shorting and exploding, in a nice green glow followed by boom And I am now a true believer in the beauty of all wheel drive. Walden Avenue completely dark ---

I’m running a set of bald kumhos on the front, and 50% tread generic snow tires in the back. I’m suprised I even made it home. ---

Yeah, it was quite awesome to blast through a huge drift on the end of my street. And plow though snow up past the door. Getting out of the car was another story. 🙂 On the down side I’m so pissed I didn’t hit on the two cuties stuck at the william st. exit more. Oh well not going anywhere now. Just waiting on losing power now. ---

> [@Jon](#): > > Dont buy any dairy products from wegmans for a little while,LOL Hahahaha! Word, same here on walden. Tons of the white stuff no power anywhere including most of my street. Also a heads up the 190 has cars stuck on about every off-ramp. The 90 has a few jack-knifed trailers. ---

(snow mode for life) It is all in the tires. I was breaking all 4 loose in thrid tonight in the Quattro running on half worn Yokohama AVS ES100s. Last year I could barely get them to spin from a start on my Blizzaks. ---

I’m trapped on my street now. Trees down on both ends. Me = pwned EDIT: Aww how cute, a power pole decided to play catch with a tree 2 doors down. Oddly enough it won for now It’s kind of just defying gravity. This snow is keeping me greatly amused tonight. So much for my last day of work. ---

EA FINALLY started getting some snow around 11pm. We got about 2-3 inches in baout 3 hours. We got thunder and lightening going on right now. Trees are hangng real low, and the power keeps tweaking, but it’s holding strong still. I wouldn’t mind losing power tonight, because It’d give me a hell of an excuse to not go to work tomorrow. Roads are just wet though. Trees arent drooping as much either. It was soooo windy here all day,. that we lost a lot of leaves, since we are about a week ahead of the northtowns when it comes to foliage. ---
