Snow again!!!

so its snowing in the northern VA/DC area again, anyone take their 7s out for a little fun? i would have but i was/am in the middle of switching out the rear bumper cover so the cover and taillights are not bolted in. but heres some pics of what we have so far, its easily three and a half to four inches and it doesnt look like its gonna stop soon.







i took the neon out for a little drive and the roads are pretty slick, mabye its just my tires haha, but if you gotta drive anywhere be careful most of the roads arent really plowed yet.

we had a meet up here on Sunday and we had 3 rx-7s there but by them the roads (at least near me) were pretty clear. a lot more were supposed to come (including my rx-7) but decided against it.

I was out and about on Friday night/ Saturday playing around in the snow in the Subaru. It was fun, but it definitely was pretty slippy. I'll have to get some blizzaks for next winter. We got around 6 inches up here.

Here is my Impreza after I drove through a 4 foot snow drift in the middle of a parking lot (on purpose )

so it looks like after the 6 inches of snow we got tuesday night we're going to get another 16-24 inches tomorrow

This year's a good year for snow lol.

(I'm sure all the northern people in this section are probably laughing at this thread though

The first time it snowed here in northern VA, I was playing around in the snow in front of my house and hit a curb. I ended up bending the lip on one of my vert rims pretty badly. Luckily for me I have an extra set I don't think I'm gonna do that again.

Yea your telling me. Luckily that was just the few inches we got earlier in the week. NASA Goddard closed at 1pm today you know it's gonna be serious when the federal gov decides to pay you to sit at home.

yeah we got at least 2 feet of snow on this storm that just passed. i tried to dig out one of my cars, and me and my dad got it out... but we cant get it out of the driveway cause the roads are still covered in 3 inches of compacted snow/ice. so hopefully tomorrow when we've got some light ill get the car out. o and ill get some pics as well!

haha looks like more snow tomorrow evening .

I've heard anywhere between 8 inches and between 15-18 inches.

this should be interesting... around here we are running out of places to put snow...

Nope! didn't take the 7 out. Put on a resonated midpipe, passed safety and emissions(before the midpipe) with fly colors. Put her away and played with the 09wrx in the snow (darn those summer performance tires!)
