SNOW!!!

Black-ice isn't.... Though if you hit it on purpose it is! Wizzing around car-parks is fuuuun!
My town didn't get loads of snow, though on the 12th, everything was white.... It pieved me off that I was in Tenerife at the time...... MEH!! X(

Now that is a tough choice, hot weather in Tenerife or a rare opitunity of snow in the UK, i think i will go with the snow as i prefer the cold XD

Phoenix_Flyer · Feb 25, 2009 11:50 PM

Yup, similar dilemma for me. But at the end of the day, I got to go to Tenerife, and although I love snow, I wouldn't miss a trip out there for it! We nearly didn't go in the first place because we were flying from Manchester, which was one of the areas worst hit by snow. Not to mention the fact that we had to cross the Pennines in order to actually get to Manchester! Lol, over a metre of snow.... Awesome.

Yes black ice is not very fun at all......again I know that through a very non-humorous personal experience.

Spyro Master · Feb 26, 2009 8:25 PM

What happened? did you almost crash or something reddragon?

RedDragonX · Feb 27, 2009 3:29 AM

Several times. Black Ice isn't exactly a motorist's best friend in this area of the Country lol....

Hairpin turns are fun. Just watch yourself slide into the guy's property...

RedDragonX · Feb 27, 2009 5:40 PM

Done it already lol......and the guy was pretty *bleep*ed when I knocked the whole snowpile he just shoveled right back into his yard.

Spyro Master · Feb 27, 2009 5:47 PM

ha ha classic XD i bet he was mad, but your right with the black ice, i doubt even a grippy car like a lotus elise would handle it.

RedDragonX · Feb 27, 2009 6:06 PM

It doesn't matter what kind of car you have....pretty much any vehicle is in danger of it....the only problem is that you will not see it coming until you lose all traction. Then it's just a matter of how well you handle quick thinking if your car already isn't flipped or twisted around.

Spyro Master · Feb 27, 2009 6:34 PM

I know one thing when you encounter black ice, don't brake, otherwise it will make it worse.

RedDragonX · Feb 27, 2009 10:26 PM

Yes that is one of the things you have to learn pretty quickly around here. A lot of new drivers go off the road at least once before they learn that it's not a good thing to hit the brakes when you drive in snow/ice. You have to really glide the car over ice when you lose traction rather then slam the breaks and go sliding.

HA! No school! I can't remember the last time school was closed because of a snowstorm!

spyro567 · Mar 02, 2009 1:50 PM

RedDragonX · Mar 02, 2009 6:29 PM

Pssst....snow is good because now I have more time to board haha.....but I still have to go to work. Oh well...money is good!

Spyro Master · Mar 03, 2009 10:58 PM

RedDragonX · Mar 04, 2009 2:09 AM

Rain sucks lol....I will take snow over it any day.

Spyro Master · Mar 04, 2009 6:26 PM

i would as well to, i hope global warming dosent ruin ur snow though

RedDragonX · Mar 04, 2009 9:49 PM

Nah...I will so create a machine that creates more snow just to combat the situation....bring it on Global warming....

Spyro Master · Mar 05, 2009 6:02 PM

XD good plan, i think thats a good idea, if you can create it i guess.

bump

The temperatures where I live have been swinging wildly. Two days ago, the overnight temperature was -29C (ouch for March x.x) but within a 24 hour period, the temperature jumped 32 degrees up to 3C for most of the afternoon yesterday. And it will be warmer tomorrow. (mushy mud on my white khakis, nooooo.....)
