Someone having too much fun role playing dungeon and dragons.

You punks at CCCD classes resume at 4pm. While over here at TCC classes resume at noon. If our classes resumed at 4pm I would have no class.

High schools get out though. Over here at least.

It was a fun drive into work today. I got stuck trying to leave my apartments. I am glad that I have a garage since there was a few people sitting in their cars for over 30 minutes trying to get all the ice off.

I wish my parking lot was level, every time I tried to do anything my car would slide about half way around and then stop.

Everybody needs to be safe if your out driving around, we don't need to see anymore wrecked threads.

I made it to work okay in the toaster (Scion Xb), I was actually suprised on how well it handled the ice. I couldn't imagine driving the Z in this.

Haven't even thought about leaving the house.....maybe around noon.

People are so crazy to get out on roads like this when they are completely covered in a solid sheet of Ice.

The Scion's are Front wheel drive....so they will always handle better on ice or snow.

The roads aren't too bad, just take caution. There is sleet on top of the ice that helps with traction. Driving at 30 - 40 mph is doable. Most of the ice is starting to melt away now.

Yes, but driving a driving a FWD in snow is completely different. There's something that you do the opposite of with FWD, so people screw up alot.
