Snow in the South

Bah...

I dreamed of a white christmas not a white January.

 

don't you like live in texas ko?

 

well either way......


AHAHAHAHA

suckers.

now you shall feel thy wrath that I love driving in.


Really, nothing helps a turn more at low speeds than liberal use of the ebrake. (a foot ebrake at that.)

Btw, don't try it on dry surfaces, or anything that isn't covered with snow, unless you want to wind up in a ditch, having to pay for a new ride.

 

Must be a Canadian thing eh?

 

hehe yep.

 

We get Snow on Mt Hamilton, and Mt Diablo, but never in any of the citys. Once every few years it will snow downtown, but it never sticks.

 

Well that's no good.

 

Great no I know Hell's about to freeze over.

 

You shall have kids.. lots of them. They shall consume all your time and money. I sentance you to 18 years.. (echo)

 

5" of snow has fallen in Atlanta...and it's still coming down. I know that prolly isn't a lot for you northern peoplel, but 5 " is the equivalent of 2 feet in the north. Plus, we don't know how to drive in it. This may be my final post, because I am one of those ppl that have never driven in snow and have spun out of control over a bridge and died. Hopefully, I will be able to post again though. Hopefully! If not, it's been fun! *crossing fingas*

 

lol

I love drivin in it

you just gotta know how to brake.

nothin beats engine braking+normal braking+ebraking.

a recommendation

never EVER use your ebrake on snow unless you are the only one around

one wrong turn, or if you don't know how to disengage it quickly to regain control on snow, and you could easily end up killing yourself, or many around you.

I'll admit it. I'm not the best driver out there, nor the smartest one, but I do know when, where, and how to drive my car properly when it comes to snow conditions.

 

and how to turn in it.

I can not imply enough.. if you drive a frontwheel drive car... dear god, be careful.

understeer is attrocious on them..

when in an understeer problem, the worst thing you can do is brake.

dear god don't brake hard

shift to neutral with mild braking

....

or in dire needs, ebrake causing the rear to swing instead of the front <--- that's what I do on snow



on rear wheel, just give more gas and fishtail around a corner.

 

Yeah, no shit.

And oh yeah, if you start losing the back end, don't slam on brakes and crank the wheel around the turn, instead, lay off the brake and accelerator and turn into the skid, you know try and "catch up with your ass".

Now if anyone needs anymore common sense information I will happily provide it.

I must say that driving in snow doesn't really phase me, we get lots of snow in Wisconsin (well except this year ). I got my learners in the middle of January, so I started learning to drive in snow.

Snow aint bad, I had to drive back to Dayton 2 years ago on about 6 inches of ice the hole way. It was the year they closed 65 cause of ice, they decided to let us through the next morning, drove all the way to dayton at 30-40mph on a sheet of ice, everytime you touched the brake you lost the back end of your car, worst drive I ever had, must have been a hundred cars in the ditch, after that things were pretty much cake.

 

Snow is fun to go visit, but I wouldn't want it at home.
