A lot of game times changing for tomorrow. From 1 to 4:15 so folk can get to the stadiums and the stadiums can be ready. Expecting 20 inches.

Got like 12" of snow in NYC!!!!

Last year i survived on RE040; this year i have ZE-912's and they are pretty decent. Only got stuck on a steep hill~~~The fronts turn in so well in the snow i was quite surprised. The rears need some weight to put the power down and prevent less slippage.

Well here in MD this much snow is very rare, and alot of times the forecasters are completely wrong, so no one took the chances of getting just enough to freeze our wipers to the windshield, we just put them up. Does'nt hurt to be safe either way


......and actually it's funny because i was the first one friday night to put them up (When I get home most everyone is home) on our street, I come out Saturday, and everyone's was up.

Tell me about it, it sucks hard. We get snow like this once every like 10 years. I think the last time was like 2003, then back in '96

The snow never reached upstate NY... I didn't get even a flake in Albany. Luckily too since the set of wheels with snow tires I bought for the Z didn't clear the Brembos.
