Syracuse. I was in Utica just a few hours ago! A little slick out your way today, huh?

Small World, I used to work at Jack of Hearts Carpet years ago.

Weather wise it looks like we're lucky here compared to some. The ol' lake effect machine has stayed north of us for the most part this year. But, as you know with lake effect, It ain't over 'til it's over!

WSTM? Where are you? I can relate to that much snow, I used to live in Watertown!

Sheesh! On our Mercedes Benz GL450 we burn up a set of Contis every 7-12 months!

The tires were designed for comfort, not heavy SUV use, so the tread is soft.

Re: Ice, ice, and MORE ice

I knew Joe was going to post something about all the snow up there...

Anyways, the Expedition and Sable (mine) have Continentals. They're factory and the car just turned 35k miles. The wet traction is horrible and it takes forever for them to hook-up on ice. I'll start a tire thread soon.

On my mother's old Lemon Expedition, the original set of Continentals burned up in about 3,000 miles. The second set lasted almost the last 6,000 miles or so she had it. The Continentals on her new one are almost gone and they have about 6,000 miles on them. They are by far IMO some of the worst tires ever, and I cannot believe Ford is still putting them on!

I know a few really nice tires. I will be directing the purchase when the time comes.

Around 11, I heard a crash and looked outside...we lost half a tree.

I wonder what this weekend's project is going to be.

Hate to tell you boys. So Cal is been partly cloudy some drizzle tonight. Been around the 60s in the day and 40s at early am. All that ice just makes me think of the frosty cold new castle I just poured. Drive safe

Re: Ice, ice, and MORE ice

I keep trying to send all the snow across the lake to Joe!

Mission accomplished....

Welcome to Michigan .... Seriously, the training you get driving in snow and ice, is better than drifting...
Here's a WINTER pic of my shop ...

I've got snow banks, on my snow banks... LOL

Re: Ice, ice, and MORE ice

Think that is a lot of snow?

Up to 3"/hr coming down?

Re: Ice, ice, and MORE ice

Wow, 17" is a lot of snow, we've had nothing but sleet and freezing rain since about 3:00 pm today and it's still going strong, I hope I don't lose power... I'm done with winter!

Re: Ice, ice, and MORE ice

Ice provides excellent protection.
That Ice over NXT 2.0 photo looks like the worlds worst orange peel.

Drive safe Chris!

No more snow! I had to shovel my roof off on part of my house today. The back door was binding on top. I figured it could be the weight pushing the header down. Yep, works better already.
