does anyone know the snow forecast this year? i'm in southern ct, but i'm sure we'd all like to know how much snow our respective areas of the country will see. i'm contemplating purchasing the michelin pilot alpin or the arctic alpin; the arctic being the better choice for heavy snowfall. oh yeah, **** californians!

 

Check yer Farmer's Almanac.

It says the west coast is supposed to get a lot of snow......

Snow? whats that? I think I might have seen that on TV once.

 

Hah Hah Hah,

I wish I never experienced it sometimes.

But, one funnier is seeing any Southern State when a snow storm actually hits! The WHOLE world stops for some measly white stuff!

Now picture a whole mess of drivers who've never or rarely driven on the stuff! Hah Hah Hah it's funny just thinking about all the spinouts and swerves. It's even funnier seeing them in person.

Accidents where people are injured on the other hand are Not funny!

But, seeing Southerners driving in Snow is some Hilarious SH*T!

snow...such a fond memory of living up north...

I love the sunshine!!!

 

bring it on! my pilot alpins are on, my snow shovel is in the trunk, still need some kitty litter though... i'm ready to practice my drifting in mt. seymour's lower parking lots

hopefully the park rangers won't recognize me from last year.... oops.

 

i got it covered....toyota tacoma 4x4

 

yeah, i live in VT. probably the equivalent of BC . . . TONS of snow, usually between january and march. last year was the worst year i've ever seen up here, and i've lived up here for 17 years.

i've got my hakkas. i don't trust anything else...

 

Snow is overrated... I would rather have the mild Georgia winter.

Try VTEC-ing in the snow.

their country-wide prediction: What Can We Expect This Winter?
According to our time-tested formula, winter will begin early, with significant snows possible for the northern states during late November 2001. We also expect another very active winter weather pattern, especially in the Northeast. For there, we predict a few heavy snowstorms and even a near-blizzard (in the second week of February). Above-average precipitation will fall in the East and the Pacific Northwest, but the area from the Plains to the Great Lakes will be drier than normal.

does anybody believe this stuff? is this like getting your palms read?

 

I don't think so - it's based on statistical averages. We all know the world is warming up - so some areas are going to get drier while others will experience more severe weather patterns.
