I cannot wait til the snow goes away! This cold weather is driving me crazy! How crazy you ask? Crazy enough to give me a sore throat/runny nose, and no energy.

K our snow turned to Ice chunks. All of the snow turned to Ice. I went driving yesterday when I took off work. And yea, it was at about the hieght of my floorpan and premade grooves for tires(YAY...but not really)

The entire time I could hear my exhaust scraping along the *snow* and my shifter kept bouncing up and down.

Yea not so fun. Dan said he'd want his awd back to go snow drifting. I said it wouldnt be a good idea. If for the off chance you could find a plowed area chances are you will hit that one chunk that will really F up your ride.

All in all I am tired. I was out shoveling and snow blowing for the better of the morning

your months behind we started getting bad snow here first of dec. Right now we just have a bit of ice and a few inches of snow here and there (some drifts are up to a foot deep....yay love working in snow)

other then that the last 2 week haven't been bad... except for the 10 degree weather.

Yea up until now we just had really cold weather with nothing to show for it

Yahoo Photos - 1999 Avenger Wreck

Monday night, on her way home from the high school basketball game, my daughter Amy (17) slipped off Barry Rd. into a ditch, just east of Amity Rd. It had really been snowing for about an hour, so it was pretty slick. Also, the ditch was very muddy since it had rained most of the day. She couldn't get free, so I changed into winter clothes and went to check on the situation. While waiting, Amy said a car lost control and almost slid into her.

I saw several other cars in the ditch on Barry Road near Park Hill HS. When I got there, I got Amy and the other girl out of the car, into my truck, and we pulled around the corner into a driveway on Amity, where the road was more level. The car was in a bad spot, because it was over the crest of a hill and there wasn't much visibility to approaching traffic. However, the car was completely off the pavement and in mud. My attempts to rock the car and get it out where unsuccessful.

While waiting in the car for a tow, another car lost control at the top of the hill, spun around, and hit my car. It ended up facing east (in the westbound lane) and the driver’s rear quarter panel hit my car's drivers rear quarter panel. It wasn’t a very hard hit (no air bag deployment), but my car got the worst end of the deal.

No injuries – so it's a good thing. The other car's driver was a teenage girl, and we've exchanged insurance information. Her insurance will be paying for fixing my car - they've accepted liability.

I don't have an estimate yet, but the car is at Carstar in Parkville on 45 highway.

I don't like this snowstorm. :(

that sucks rodney.

Update on the PA front. We have a good 4" of ice. It is not snow. It is ice. Good news...if someone falls a sleep driving it will hold them in the lane and wake them up :shrug:

Ice like that can really tear up a car! Be careful in PA.

I talked with CarStar this morning. They'll be fixing the Avenger, and we should get it back the middle of next week.
CJW
Yea I cringe when I have to straddle it because my car is too low for it. Dan can attest to it. It sucks

Good news about your avenger
