I’m finding that Ohio drivers are even worse… unbelievable. Literally ten mph on the 271. Plows are a rare thing out here, too. :bloated: ---

> [@JayS](#): > > No, they weren’t. You’re on summer tires in a RWD V8 sports coupe, that’s why they _appeared_ shitty to you. 😛 lol while that is true, alot of the streets and even the thruway onramp werent plowed yet speaking of which, I almost crashed the car coming off the 290 onto the I90-east last week… passed a semi on the right while on the ramp… as I finished passing and at the apex of the turn, hit a patch of packed down snow and sent the car into a tailspin. Held it sideways down most of the ramp and hit a dry patch, thus spinning the car back the other way 360\* and somehow managed to regain control and drive away. almost had a heart attack. Steve McQueen would of been proud 😛 ---

At no point have I seen the 1-2" per hour stuff they were talking about but it has been snowing steadily since I got here at 7:45. I’d say Amherst will end up in that 6-8" range they were predicting. ---

I decided I didn’t like the truck in front of me so I locked my brakes up when he decided to merge from the left lane, to the right lane, to the center lane in a matter of 15 feet or so @ 30mph. I went _WOOSH!!!_ and _KABLAHHHH_ and then _WEEEEEEEEEEE_ around in 4wd, drifting sideways for about 50 feet, caught the truck and managed to straighten it out. I must say, I OWN at driving this thing. All the fucking around in parking lots has made me an amazing winter driver haha. If it wasn’t for me nearly shitting my pants, you’d think I totally meant to do that on Maple. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/snow-storm-warning-oh-noes-wait/61998.md?page=2)
