Is it snow tire day? - Page 8 - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Kevin M · 2010-01-20, 03:07 PM

It's coming down as heavy snow here, but not sticking to the wet pavement just yet. Grass and dirt are sticking though.

We got full value out of this storm, Serene Lakes 24 hrs ago

This has been an ideal storm system as it pretty much stayed in teh mountains and didn't disrupt life too greatly here in the valley... A little slick this morning, but nothing too crazy. Those pictures are awesome...I envy you mountain people

Hey, you're only 35 min away....

Nothing will keep me from snowboarding tomorrow. Nothing!

^Sounds like a herpies commercial.

cody · 2010-01-22, 12:33 PM

I think you mean herpies medication commercial.

Hey Cory, did this past week bring you any presents in the form of Nissans with folded suspensions?

I found this oddly entertaining and I'm not exactly sure why.

MPREZIV · 2010-01-25, 07:28 AM

In fact, it did not...

Haha that's so funny! At first I thought it was the Prelude I watched do a 180 into that same ditch last weekend, but then I noticed the spare and figured it was an SUV. This jackass cut me off going 45 when I was doing 70 while it was snowing, and right before I hit him (I was braking, flashing my brights and honking) he got back over. I couldn't help but to roll down my window and yell at him, but after I passed him, it looked like he missed his exit by the way he attacked the median. He did a 180 right behind me and I just saw a big puff of snow as he plowed into the ditch, and then I watched his taillights fade in the rearview as I continued on my way. I couldn't be mad after that haha

You were doing 70 on snow?

Dean · 2010-05-10, 04:01 PM

Bump...

28 degrees and dumping at my place. Who washed their car this weekend?

I kind of like these mid60s-70s weekends and weekday storms.

Nick Koan · 2010-05-10, 04:02 PM

I thought about changing to my summer tires this weekend, which with my luck means this weather is probably my fault.

sperry · 2010-05-10, 04:07 PM

Shit, I can't put my snow tires back on if I wanted to... they don't clear the new brakes!

A1337STI · 2010-05-10, 04:18 PM

I put my snow tires back on my STI last week. Though I'm just trying to preserve my Khumos for Autox, didn't expect that i'de really have any Need for them..

Dean you wouldn't prefer nicer weather mid-week so you can get out and enjoy it with less tourists around? and then storms on the weekends when its time to stay in from the tourists? hehe

WRX06TR · 2010-05-10, 04:23 PM

I found out the inside shoulder on my RE070's was trashed, so I switched to my snows on Friday, I didn't think I would need them either.

cody · 2010-05-10, 04:24 PM

I haven't had snow tires on since the first autox. Maybe the gods got confused when I swapped the Starspecs to the Sport Maxx's last night.

Dean · 2010-05-10, 05:16 PM

False alarm? Now sunny and 48 degrees. Welcome to the high Sierras.

GusGus91 · 2010-05-10, 05:28 PM

It's probably my fault.. I just bought new summer tires. :-/

Today was the first time I saw the "don't like the weather? wait 15 minutes" joke about Reno weather happen literally. At 5:00 it I could barely see the hill outside my window through the snow... at 5:15 I had to tilt the blinds because of the sunlight in my eyes.

I just want some goddamn spring weather!

I think spring was in March this year. It lasted about 6 hours.
