InsanezeD Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Been looking at the weather for this week and apparently we're due a cold blast from russia bringing heavy snowfall for the east and south coasts for Monday and Tuesday with temperatures plummeting tonight. Take care folks.... ...or have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matth76 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 We've had snow down south (only a small amount but enough to settle on some back roads) and already seen two cars slide across the road. Bit wary in my new 350! Got day off work tomorrow so it's staying put all day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Well, sun was out today, so I decided to give my car a wash, so I got everything ready for it and went inside to fill up my bucket with water and carwash, got back out the front door and it was freakin snowing!!!!! Washed her anyways tho, so the snow had a nice clean Zed to lay on. Then went to work for my nightshift, and weather is so bad that I'm home now after half a shift. I tell you what, trying to lash containers while snow is blowing in your face at 40mph is no fun!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsanezeD Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Sure enough it started snowing heavy late last night as forecast, I got up for work half an hour earlier this morning expecting to clear the driveway but it wasn't that bad, had a few flurries of snow today but it's all gone and it's raining now.
