Went out for a cruse in my car and man its slippery. whereever ppl have been driving theres strips of ice, and its hard to get stopped (thank god I fixed my ABS) or going at stopsigns and lights.
I thought ABS was bad in snow and gravel and stuff like that, i thought in those circumstances you stopped quicked with locked wheels cause the snow or ice or gravel or whatever built up in fron of your wheels and increased friction or sumthing

God if I never see snow again it will be toooooooooo soon. I don't miss it, want to see it and especially drive in it. Did that for far too many years in Chicago.

I love New Zealand weather. Endless spring and summer hahaaha

Lots of pro snowboarders go to New Zealand to snowboard in the summer because you guys have snow there when it's hot here. How come like no NZers have seen snow when there must be some good mountains or somethin to ride their

There is only one mountain in the North Island that has snow on it, but that is only for a short time. Most go to the South Island where snow is high on the mountain tops for nearly 6 months of the year.

I live on the East coast of the south island (like most people who live int eh south island) Dunedin is pretty famous in NZ for its terrible weather but thats not really the case, normally it snows about one day a year here and its gone by 10 in the morning.

ABout 3 hours inland from here theres alot of moutains which there are several skifields on. The advantage of NZ ski fields to Americans is that theyre in their prime when American ones arnt open, thats why Americans come here for them (as well as all the extreme sports that are close to the ski fields)

If I send everyone out there a box, will you fill it up w/snow for me???

All I see out my window is the miserable rain that will plague Pittsburgh from now until May!!! Well, we might get about 5" of snow from a single storm...

It's raining here. Rain here means snow in the mountains, two hours away.
