Damn,

I went into work for a few hours this morning and it was nice. Like 55F and sunny. And when I left it was snowing. Damn.

Be careful guys, just came down from Incline and there were at least 10 accidents and lot of spinouts.

I am so stoked though, just got my pass to Sugar Bowl

edit: I actually saw a white '06 STI just miss a crunched up Mustang just before the Bowl EB.

Oh yeah, first snow of the year gets em every time. Driving back from Sliverada, I was amazed to see people driving (painfully) slowly. I forgot how 2-lanes shrink to one when it snows. People are really caught off guard. Finally got to test out the Pirelli's in UNR parking lot. So far, not too impressed with the Winter Carvings, but they were cheap.

I almost forgot. The best part of my day was seeing an srt-4 slide right off the road as if he were a baby duck walking across an icy pond.

Really? I can't drive up my driveway in the truck w/o throwing it in 4x4... it's too bad 80% of that 7000lbs is on the front tires.
