More white stuff for the NW.

I had to drive into work today to downtown Seattle, and it looks like where I live (somwhere in the convergence zone) - we've gotten hit with a fair amount of snow on the hill where our house is.

Just my luck I drove the G today! My boyfriend is going to gloat when he has to come down to the bottom of our hill and tow me home with his truck. I can already hear him saying I should have taken another vehicle!

anyone else finding themselves in a potential pickle?

 

Well I work in Everett area and the roads were filled with vehicles dumped on the side. Traffic was wayyyy backed up and I waited from 5pm to about 8pm to leave and now my place is on a hill and my car is going to have to sleep outside for the night I was thinking of taking a broom and dusting off the driveway to make it up the hill so my car can make it to the garage. Oh well possibly a snow day tommorrow.

 

I just got back from around exit 20 on the 405. I almost didn't make it home. Was going to a dodgeball game, got there and turned around. It wasn't worth taking the risk to drive back when there was even more snow. Got to the 116th where there's a huge hill and there was a damn bus stuck there, so I made a right and luckily got around the snow and back to the highway somehow. It's starting to get more crazy in the Northgate area too.

 

I was on the way home from the U-dist and decided to take Aurora home cuz it's relatively flat compared to the huge hill I'd have to climb at my exit if I had taken the freeway. Almost made it home (in Shoreline), but then got stuck in the turn lane on Aurora & 145th (as well as a Z on the opposite side of the intersection). Eventually, after about 45 minutes, I managed to get the car down to Greenwood and left it there for the night. Hoping for the best, and will pick it up tomorrow afternoon (supposed to be 44)

 

Did you leave it because of the snow? Or was it your battery again ?

 

nooooo! dry up! my rims come in tomorrow!!

 

Wound up leaving it at a Farm House last night in somewhere in the Monroe area... The guy moved his truck for me so I could park it safely away from the road, and in the void where his truck was parked all day.

 

That's why I have Michelin Pilot Sport All/Seasons on my coupe, for all these "just-in-case" times. My wife on the otherhand, got stuck in the snow on the hill by our house in her TL, which was still wearing the stock garbage.

Careful out there tho... I had to rescue a friend last night who wrecked his ride on a telephone pole. (I always test the brakes first, before I attempt a turn... He turned first, then slid into the telephone pole. It was a forked road, so he hit the pole at prob 40mph, as it was a 50 zone. Thank god he's ok)

 

yeah, good point, but I have an offroad jeep and a fullsize truck for this weather... G is a pavement toy. Just gotta do a little work to the Dodge and the Jeep cause Igrenaded another rearend, and had to do an 8.8 swap, now I have to get another driveline fabbed, and shim up my rear springs for an angle correction.
