Wanna hear something funny? Just from the pic, before playing it, I thought it was from “The Incredible Shrinking Man”.
General Arctic Altimax (unstudded) for winter wx. Nice ratings, even compared with Michelin X-Ice 3.

Only got ’em for my older car, though. Nice bite in snow, both fresh and packed.
……yeh, i’ve seen both movies scores of times…and agree…yehh….the incredible shrinking man….RoF lmao…. :laughing: I know where ya comin from…hahahahhahahha
Hope everyone is safe and dug out from the storm I got about 22” here in NY I finally got my 2WD truck out I go out and have fun with all the people that can’t drive in this crap. I do donuts around them at stop lights! lol What is even better is I have FL tags on my truck and then I get out of it wearing shorts people look like WTF this dude is nuts. Oh well you only live once.
As it turned out the warm front pushed 20 miles further inland than expected. Therefore, Philadelphia[I heard the same for NY and Boston] and some of its suburbs got a lot less snow and more Ice/sleet.
I live 30 miles NW of Philly. They predicted anywhere from 12” to 18”. We got ~ 5” of snow and 2” of sleet which made the roads worse!
As the gentleman-“Turningbluechips” from the Poconos[Pa Mts.] said,they got 24”. The inland track obviously did NOT affect their accumulation!
P.S. WPVI local Philadelphia weather/news station got RIPPED by people on Facebook!!! lol! WRONG AGAIN!
It seems like the more forecasting tools they have the worse the forecasting gets.

I think you are right Bob!
Great name you have,mine is also Bob![Robert]
Downtown Stittville, New York got a full 36” by my measurement.
All cleaned up this morning by Snow Blowing from 8 until
That did include shoveling the front a rear roofs and digging out Mail Box’s out of the snow bank and driving 2 metal posts into the ground and remounting the box’s
Roads are wet but back to black not the slush or snow covering.
Off to Florida next Tuesday and out of the Winter weather 
All this talk of 13 inches here and 20 inches there, in Hartford we got 2 feet of snow
Now that’s funny.

Even the train drivers hate them 
.
That had to hurt………a lot
caramba, aye caramba!!
that gif loop is mesmerizing lol
Yep, about the same here. :person_facepalming:
As well as the bread isles & milk coolers at all the grocery stores are totally bare at even the threat of snow. It is downright hilarious…… 
I made that my wallpaper…
Here’s my car when the snow gets heavy
Nice “car”…… :+1:
yeah, same here with the “magic traction” people…
65 in a 35 zone… cigarette in one hand, coffee in the other… talking to passengers and yelling at kids, all while “bluetoothing” on wireless cell phone… on I-C-E around a turn. steering with their KNEES…
you say “anything” you get…
“oh, i have happy traction, dude, its all good!”
==
i inherited my dads Bravada, its basically a BLAZER. it has “magic traction” or whatever… just does 4 wheel drive on and off by itself…
but, i have NOTICED? i cant “brake” and “turn” like my cars i am used to… its, like, driving an elephant around, it feels like.
i dont like to drive it fast even in good weather… i know i cant make it do “cartwheels” and control a high speed skid like a regular car i can do it with in a sudden emergency.
i am suddenly… “driving like an old man”, ha ha.
Man, there’s one car commercial that just plain pisses me off every time I see it. Some pretty-boy’s in the car, starts daydreaming, “Gee, I wonder if I left my curling-iron on…”, and BEEPBEEPBEEP!, lane-departure warning. “Whew… that was close!”. “Wonder if I plucked my eyebrows today… BEEPBEEPBEEP… SCREECH!!!, the car hits the brakes to avoid hitting the car that’s stopped in front of him. ”Whew! That was close, too!“. And so on, and so on, and so on.
These cars are now made for idiots, literally pandering to the lowest common denominator, to let idiots BE idiots behind the wheel, not pay attention, not care about anything, because the car will protect these idiots from themselves.
Like I said, it just plain pisses me off…
Naw, you just don’t outdrive the car…
Loved my ’86 Cavalier hatch. Z24 wheels from an ’88, slightly lowered, KYB struts, always whatever Eagles the cops would run. Car rode like it was on rails. Oh, it was a kidneybuster with the stiff suspension, but damn, that car would go wherever you’d point it, no questions asked. It was a true roadster…
Just the slightest hint of oversteer, so you’d have to watch to make sure the ass-end of the car wouldn’t swing out from under you, and that’d only happen in really slick weather like first-rain.
Had that car 20-something years, too. Def got my money’s worth, several times over.
And it had nothing in it. No ABS, no traction control, no… nothing. Yet I could plow through snow and put the car where I wanted it to go, I was that familiar with it.
But, you learn. You make your mistakes, and hopefully learn from them.
