Sunday is looking like it could get messy. I know north Jersey already had some of the white stuff but this system could get a lot more of the state before it hopefully changes to rain. I just got done raking leaves and I'm not ready to shovel any snow! Good thing I did the headers last week!

The long term winter forecast is for a milder than normal winter with next week as one of the colder bursts expected. The good thing about snow this early in the season is that the ground isn't frozen or even all that cold so anything that falls won't be too hard to remove.

Much like the snow 2 weeks ago. It melted fairly quickly, and accumulated much more on the grass and stuff than the driveways/roads

Camaro SS + 275/40/17 tires + snow = :drive: It was interesting driving the car home in that sleet storm last winter. But I was actually doing better than a lot of the scared people in their front wheel drive cars.

yeah cant wait to see my bros jeep with the brand new 33's on there in the snow, i know wide tires suck but these tires have some serious tread so it will be interesting. as for my dd just got the snow tires put on my extra rims today :) so maybe ill put them on tomorrow just in case otherwise its bald tires + snow + torquey v6 = not going anywhere.

I never had any problems with my various 86-89 4Runners with 32x11.5x15 tires. The 87 Turbo 4Runner was a blast in the snow. Spool up the turbo in 4 wheel drive and that thing would take off!

I haven't gone outside yet, but it looks like we have about an inch here at my apartment. Looks like we have a bit of rain coming down now though :(
:sigh: I guess I'll just have to wait longer for some real snow to play in....

Looks like it has fizzled out pretty good so far. It might get pumped up later today but I'm not complaining. It's 26 degrees and raining out, that's not a good combination!

So that's why she left the gas on the other day. She was trying to get you out of the house to work on the car! :mrgreen:
I was in the garage for about 3 hours yesterday putting the other cat in the y-pipe. It was pretty cold laying on the garage floor.
