So was really digging the super storm....0.0" of snow
What is this "snow?" It was 40 degrees when I left for work this morning, beautiful clear morning, car started right up and ran great, which is nice because this is the coldest it has been since I got my car on the road. All of my cold start and warmup enrichment tuning was of the "educated guess" style.
Man shut up. I got just around a foot, about an hour north of Manhattan, got stuck once yesterday in my tacoma but I didn't have any weight in the bed and I have crappy all season tires on it. Surprisingly my e30 started this morning when it was 20 degrees out. It could hardly move on the snow/slush though with bald rear tires and a welded diff.
Digging out my girlfriends parents house. So much damn snow! Luckily the old Cherokee did well driving around yesterday and today. I dont think the Audi could have handled getting out of my townhouse if I bothered digging it out.
We ended up with about 18" of snow in downtown Richmond, plus bigger drifts due to the 40 mph wind gusts. First pic is at 11:30 when I got home from work with about 1" of snow:
Second pic is at 3:30 with about 5-6" of snow and a guy stuck in the middle of the road. He got out, peed, then got back in, then left his car and wandered off by the time I suited up to help dig him out:

I like snow. Ice though...that's the horror of winter driving. I remember living in Nashville and seeing the ditches filled with cars after ice storms.
The town next door to me (Morris Plains, NJ) got the second highest snowfall in NJ at 33", I think my town of Morristown officially recorded at 30". I shoveled out halfway through the storm at about 16" only to be demoralized 12 hours later when I had to shovel nearly the same amount.
I guess I'm getting old when I hear snowstorm and I think, snow, screw that, I don't want to shovel.

That's what we were doing last year. Go out and shovel mid storm so it wouldn't be terrible all at once the next day. A lot of people are out at midnight shoveling and clearing their driveways. It's super bright at night with the snow reflecting the street lamps. Really cool
It was mostly my initiative to go out and shovel since I didn't want it to pile up on my soft top...
