well, it wasnt 35C recently, but it dropped from about 18C ->-4C from 9am yesterday to 9pm last night.

pretty heavy winds from a very swift cold front. most of the day yesterday that spauned 18 tornadoes across the southern mid-west +2 deaths

I love winter. Especially snowy days.But in Sakarya or Istanbul there is no snow. There is alotof rain in here (Sakarya) and i HATE rains. I think i have to wait one and half month for snow.

I miss michigan. Down in Ohio all it does is rain....rain.....and more rain. Once and awhile itll snow but nothing like michigan.

Holy fucking ballsack it's cooooold too. I'm one of those huge ass SUV drivers at the moment thanks to the fact that the other car in our stable is an Explorer and at the moment, the RX8 on it's summer tires is completely useless. It has been a total mess.

I had to pick up my uncle at the airport on the way home from Ann Arbor last night and there were 4 accidents on the way, and a huge backup at the airport thanks to some moron who hit another moron. Then the streets around Bloomfield were covered with black ice because the people who "clear" snow around here are so fucking inept they probably can't wipe their own asses...grrr...anyway the snow is pretty, I just wish it was about 20-30 degrees warmer cuz right now I'm freezing my nuts off.

first snow in Zurich too !! Look at these pics taken this morning from home:



Cool

There's snow in Belgium too. Today was the first time ! It's going to be cold this winter I think

lol sounds like your no fan of winter... its always amazing to me how people forget how to drive in the winter, but by the end of it; most of us are pros. i must say, AWD hooliganism is sooo much more fun then FWD/RWD in the snow

EEEEEK!!! i'm sure you're glad you've got a Jeep for the winter.

im doing alright... again tight on finances, but the future looks extremely bright (4-5m sale looks imminent!--- then i may be looking for some new wheels)
good to hear your TT is tackling the frozens great 8) and your extremely right, every winter im glad i have the Jeep, and everytime i need to transport shite from here to there although, my tires are the worst winter tires EVER... so its kinda wierd... like a slippy/grippy combination. new tires are coming in a few days, and im 'upgrading' to 33" that offer much better snow grip.

Huge icicles... i think they've grown another 4-5" in the last 20 minutes
