Wasn't that storm sumpthin??

I guess there will be the odd driver still cruising in the freshly fallen snow but it sure put a damper on spring.

Any pics?

Oh... my brother had a flat tire. He needed to borrow a car, so I lent him my s2000. He left before it snowed at like 630am. It was soooo sad to see...performance tires/ lowered on coils/ low front end.... man it sucked for him

on the way to work it started snowing.. he said it was soooo crappy to drive once it started to snow, he was actually scared. The car kept wanting to kick out.
After an hour of snowing my car was buried under snow, he couldn't move it anywhere. A few of my friends called me saying they saw my car, well barely the car. They could really only see the wing sticking out of the snow drift, hahahahahhaahah

I took a bunch of pics throughout the day to capture the snowfall, then sunny day, then snowfall, then sun, then snow. Then it was dark.

Freakin crazy weather. Just NW of the city they experienced 0 (that's right, ZERO) precipitation.

I let out my dog at about 5:30am and went back to sleep. Woke up at around 9:30 and had to dig out my car, since it was blocking my winter car on the driveway.. NOT FUN!! the snow was frikkin heavy.... I had to shovel my ENTIRE driveway to get my car out lol



This was less than 24hrs before! I just washed and waxed the day before....

Hello from a fellow Calgarian.
Picking up my new CR coming Wednesday in Denver.
Dilemma: CR does not come with a spare tire and jack!
Anyone here in Calgary selling or willing to loan thier spare donut (AP2) and jack for 3 to 4 days?
