Snow day in NC. (pics)

[vanilla gorilla]

Well, snow may not be a big deal to you northerners since you see it everyday, but this is probably the 3rd time I have seen snow in my life, so it was cool.
Anyways I woke up today and walked outside, and took a few pictures of what I saw. The photos may not be great, as they arent filled with any beautiful scenery....because, well....its just my back yard.



















I had quite a bit of fun in the snow though, although not pictured.
I went to one of my buddy's houses and everyone was outside with thier ATVs acting a fool. All I had was my civic, so I had to show them what the deal was. So I ended up doin work with the honda in an open grass lot beside my friends house.

After that I went to another friends house and we found his stock hood that came off his 01 dodge dakota. We then tied it to a rope and hooked the other end to the Vinson 500, and took turns sledding. That was super fun, though I'm suprised noone got hurt.

All in all, I had fun in the snow, but I wont miss it when its gone. Like 2 snow days out of the year would be pimp. Anymore than that, ...I couldnt take.

Snow doesn't bother me at all, sometimes I wish we would get more. What I do hate, is when it's not snowy and -30 without windchill like last week. There were 2 days here where we did get any more snow that we have now, and it was a HIGH of -19 during the day, try that on for size.

Lake Michigan sucks also. Usually it goes South to Indiana but when it comes West it's big.

I lol'ed at the snow also. When I got my car running this weekend I finally had to brush it off. Had 1.5ft of snow on it, and a snow drift off the roof to about ~2.5ft. When they plowed the streets the corners are just huge banks. There's a snow bank in my work parking lot that I climbed yesterday and it's probably a good 7ft tall.

I also think it's kinda funny (not like making fun, funny) that people have never seen snow or they can count it how many times they've seen snow. Something as common as snow is non-existent in so many other places.

Im not going to lie. I get pretty excited when we get snow here. Mostly because EVERYTHING shuts down when we get any amount of snow here. We only saw about 1/4inch here but it was enough to get school delayed 2 hours.

According to map quest, you live about 150 miles away from me.
As far as tuning goes....I have some experience with SAFC's. Thats about it.
Also done some diagnostic port style tuning via a Diablo Predator, on a buddy's 12 sec GTO.
