I will be moving to St. Louis from California in Jaunuary. I just wanted to know how the weather is and what to expect in St. Louis. Does it snow? Will I need Snow tires? Stuff like that. So all you STL guys and gals out there, I would really appreciate some insight on what I am getting myself, as well as my Z, into. Thanks.

 

Sweet heart make sure you don't get a house where there is a hill !!

Me+ Z+ hill+snow= hell no!! It doesn't snow alot but you well need snow tires and if you live on a hill you will need another car! I didn't make it to class today because I couldn't make it up the hill seen in the pics above (pics are from last year I didn't even bother coming out the house today!)

 

Tdoay is not a good day to ask about the weather! The midwest just got hammered with ice and snow... some areas had up to 15 inches. St. Louis got alot of ice and some snow. Actually, the last number of years our weather has been mild, with only a couple of occasions per year with snow. But as the previous person said... if you can help it don't live where you have to go up a hill to get out cause you won't with a Z. Todays temperature was around 17 degrees. Wednesday is was 72 degrees! The old sayiing in STL is... if you don't like the weather just wait around... it will change.

What brings you to our area?

Just moved to STL 6mos ago. Weather was great until day before yesterday. Ice everywhere. Sadly I didn't have time to get my all season tires mounted so it's walking to work for me until the ice melts.

Apparently STL doesn't get much snow but it does get some which would mandate at least all season tires.

thanks for the replies.....this helps me out a lot. Now i got an idea of what to expect.

To answer the question about me going out there, i got offered a job out there and California is just too expensive to live in right now.

 

Let me know when you are coming in, I will show you around! (at least what I know, I have only been here since August of last year)

 

I recommend another beater car for the winters. I haven't driven my Z for over 2 weeks now! From the Thursday snow/ice, I still dont have power! 5 days and counting. What kind of Job did you take?

 

Im a helicopter technician.


cool, thanks man, im looking foward to it.

im from stl here....winters used to be a little rough but past winters are a hit and miss with snow and ice...usually one or two storms within the winter season.

welcome to STL...its prob quite a change from cali....but STL is alright...u can find the big city feel and small town charm and comfort as well.

oops, sorry........thanks woman or chick. lol

 

Welcome to St.Louis.


you will have a great time.

today took my Z out for the first time since the snow/ice storm on Thursday.

seems like most of the roads are clear
and thank god to the Wintersport M3's ... they got me home safe.

like Destiny350Z said ... if you need someone to show you around town
ill be more then welcome to show you around town.

There is also a local Z-club that does meets and drives and all kinda fun stuff.

 

Go away Alex, he is my friend!!! We will both show you around ... at the same time!

 

lol...cool, thanks everybody. Especially those who offered to show me around. I will definately take you both up on that offer. I really appreciate all the insight and luv you guys and gals have shown me. I should be in STL early January so I hope to meet some of you people and makes some new friends. Thanks.

 

well hope to see you soon...

btw Missouri is called the SHOW ME State.... and there is a reason for that

you'll deff. enjoy spring and summer here in St.Louis.

 

What about me?! I can show him around too!!

Hey Destiny -- I MISS YOU!!!

 

I have drag radials; all season; and snow tires.
We don't live on a hill -- VERY great suggestion there. DO NOT live on a steep slope around here.
With the ice storm that came through, I was driving the F150 FX4! YEAH BABY! Nothin' like rolling all over people and their cars in my 4x4!
On a serious note though -- the Z was garaged for a whole week (husband drove her once or twice after it started to melt) but I didn't get in her for 2 weeks! Poor girl missed her momma! I'm so glad all that crap melted away -- now we're a sweet pair riding down 370 at 80+ mph!


We're dreaming of moving to SD in a few years. Where you coming from?
When you getting here? Where you going to live?

Alex -- you really like the Summers here? I'm a transplant from Chicago 'burbs and the summers here are NOTHIN' like there.

 

We should all just form up a meet 'n greet type deal to welcom him to the area
