Snow Max
It's been snowing all night and it's still coming down this morning up here in Ontario. It's a winter wornderland and looks nice, but i hate driving my Max in this crap. At least its not all that cold, so it could be worse.
This is how it looks in my laneway right now:
Oh well - time to crank over the snowblower. I think our Liberty will be getting the most of the action on the streets today !

Bob move to a warmer climate! 
I would cry if my Maxima had all that snow on it! I will be driving through Denver probably twice this winter. I got my fingers crossed. Last year I got caught in a bad storm with my last car. Don't want that again!

I just finished, came in the house and took my boots off.....i can now hear the damn snowplow going by and creating a BIG fricking snow bank at the end of my lane. 
Oh well the boots go back on !
BTW.. i don't have a snowmobile, but i do have a large and well equipped dedicated Home Theatre in my basement. Which is where i'll be hiding for the next 4 or 5 months !

Bob, you need to get yourself some snow tires.
Also pickup a Snow Wisp snow brush at Canadian Tire. The bristles are super soft compared to the hard ones on the 99 cent brushes. Your paint will thank you in the spring when its not as scratched up.

Well this is where I will exactly be in three weeks! 
No snow in the Nevada desert!
I would cry if my Maxima was covered in snow!
I just hope the trip out is good. I have driven through some nasty stuff in the midwest.

C'mon guys, I know you can be tougher than that.
Last week we went thru a 5 day period with a HIGH of -15C +3F
and a low of -23C -5F.
Made a whole lot more bearable w/heated seats & wheel - love it!
The world does not end NEAR that!

That sucks, I'm a summer time river rat, I keep my boat out there and go starting around April and ending in October...maybe at the start of the season...

Yes I hear the River is awesome in summer. You never know in 10 years I may be living there full time. Nothing beats Nevada! 
I may take a road trip to Orange county if I have the time.
BTW SilverBelle04,
Did you get that driveway clear yet? Hope you Max is clean. I hate cleaning snow off my car

But I wouldn't worry too much about performance... as long as you keep your foot under control and you don't try to drive like it's dry, you won't have any problems in the snow.

SilverBelle04,
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
More snow? That is nuts. I am glad we haven't had any here. December of 2003 was awful here with two bad snow storms. Yep AZ is a better bet. A good friend of mine winters in PHX and though I am not so fond of the town the weather can't be beat. Then you can always head northwest to SIN CITY!

Yes, Winter is here in Montreal too....so far total of 1 ft or 30 cms. Its not too cold though..around 29 F or -2 cel. I have a set of brand new Michelin X-ICE as seen in Popular Mechanics this month. They are great. Car has so much control starting and stopping all over this shlop. Hey CanadianMOFO thanks for the Canadian Tire tip...I'll be going there at lunch today. It will be staying like this until March/April next year so got to get used to it...although we never seem to. And ditto on that dedicted home theater in the basement....long live DTS and DOLBY Digital surround sound! LOL!
