SNOW!!!!!!!! Who lives in an area which is getting into winter now ??

Well we had our first 'snowfall' this morning lol. like 1/2 inch haha but it's a sure sign, winter's coming! I'm ready for it, can't wait to drive mowers in snow again.

It was like 80 here today- lol! Its cool at nite tho- we'll probably have a few weeks of really cold weather then itll be back to the 90's again.

Nice. I'm glad we only see 80's here in the summer, and rarely 90's and super-rarely 100's. I'll take my winter gratefully lol!!!

Actually only thing i liked about snow was snowmobiling- after 30 years of shoveling and cold weather ( and damn people that dont know how to drive in snow) - i dont really miss it. Plus summer here lasts 10 months, and 2 months of cold - not 6 months of cold and 6 months of summer.

Lol yeah, I used to get mad at people not being able to drive in the snow, they drive too fast and drive on summer tires, but now I laugh heartily at them when thy crash, and since I have a 4x4, I pull people out of the ditch sometimes hehehe. I can't wait for the first big snow I'm gonna burn about 100$ of gas between my 2 mowers and my truck lol

Id always 'test ' the roads - id see if theres any slipping during acceleration and slipping during stopping - if there was, then id drive slow/cautiously - if the truck handled normal then id drive normal. I always hated the slow pokes doing 20mph for no reason .

My 89 f150 had BF goodriches on it- i NEVER got stuck with those on it- were a good all season tire. My 99 however, the new stock firestones were JUNK! I spun and slipped all over- i put a set of firestone firehawk 500's on em and talk about a difference - they wore like iron ( i had about 60,000 miles on em) but started showing age cracks recently ( they still had tons of tread left) - so i replaced em with a light duty truck tire ( tire guys didnt want to put 'passenger car' tires on a truck ) . Those firehawks were awsome in rain and snow - 1st day i had them on the truck, it was raining - i had to stop suddenly and truck stopped on a dime - no sliding at all. I drove thru 3' of unplowed snow no problem with those on as well.

Yeah those Firestone stockies SUCK !! I had a set on my '90 F-150 a couple years ago, was stuck in 4 inches of snow, in 4 low and hi, on flat pavement. Worst tires I ever used in snow. Otherwise any mud tires I've had always work well.

I have v-treads on a craftsman i got and ATV tires on my green simplicity and never had them in snow so i hope we get a bit this year.

we just got about 7 inches of snow cant wait tell tomorrow finally get to put my chains to the test

If any of you have seen my most recent video, you'll know we've had an unusual dump of snow. Forcasted to go onto at least saturday, snowing every day. Last night we had about 6 inches, I'll try and get a photo tomorrow of the picnic bench, theres a huge amount of snow on it.
Unfortunaly driving a lowered car is my downfall, managing to ground out alot of places

He lolz you should see the snow here, i need to work on a snow plow soon XD 12 inches!
ill pop up some photos, thought id quickly say that i havent been on recently because of the snow and building my new computer! Which sadly broke last night, meh just my luck!

Any one got snow on the east coast today??

Yup, but not too much, 6-8 inches maybe. Too bad my mower isn't finished. I bet it'd be fun in this snow.

You didn't get stuck with those tires??

After 30 years of it, you guys can keep it- Stop sending that cold weather here, our thin blood cant handle it - LOL!
Got down to about 30 degrees the other day - only the panhandle gets snow, we're too far south.

if all goes well, we are supposed to get up to a foot sunday night into monday, here in Rhode Island. the MISTRESS is ready to give it hell. if i'm lucky, i hope to get a set of snow tires on her tomorrow.

thanks man. no they are different. the front wheels are rears i had layin around and the rear wheels came off an old dynamark mower

Yup stock tires work awesome in some types of snow, powder and packed powder are ok. Wet snow, forget about it! My bald ATV tires grab crazy like in the last cold snow we had, but I couldn't move in the wet stuff. I'm waiting for more snow now, it's been mild and rainy for almost 2 weeks now.... We had a quick freeze and then it went back to mild. Gotta love NS weather.

Yah, if it was 5 degrees colder here we'd probably have about 5 feet of snow but right now its alll rain and things are starting to flood so i might get some intense waterbogging action videos soon I guess i aint getting no white christmas

Man I haven't been on here in forever....But holy crap we finally have some snow!! It's been -10 -12 for the past few days, up to 0 today but supposed to get colder again. The ponds on the marsh behind my house are frozen solid. Had the Rally out there yesterday, sorta boring. Decided to fire up the racing mower while I had the chance for ice. THAT is FUN!!! I hate driving through the woods / trails to get to the marsh but it's totally worth it. Nothing more fun than drifting and whoop-t-doos going 50-60 kmh on the ice!!!!!!! Unfortunately I don't have any pics due to breaking my camera while snowboarding I need a new camera, again.
