I know what you mean. I drove into work this morning to find out upper management decided to close. The trip in wasn't bad, I left at 6 am, but the trip home interesting. I saw a good looking blonde driving a new Hummer with the 4-way flashers going, both hands with a death grip on the steering wheel, going 5 mph. Only in Texas!!!

Anyway, here are a few of my Stang playing in the snow. Enjoy.

P.S. The pictures are from the LAST snow storm.

i am crying for both you and your stangs. I live in South Florida so i don't know how you feel, but instead every year i worry about a hurricane or tornado totaling my car. just last year my car was nicked by a falling basketball hoop from 4 houses over. Yeah i rather take the snow and ice and not drive at all

Hey Ronaele05 I agree that I'd rather take the snow and ice over a hurricane,
sorry to hear about that basketball goal. I haven't seen snow, this is about as bad
as it gets in east texas. It's still bad because of all the icy roads.

Damnquick1 those pics are crazy, I've never seen snow but its good you
made room for the stang in the garge, unfortunately I don't have a garage to put
mine in, but then again I don't have to deal with snow over here in the East side of texas.

cvz_finezt, college classes have been cancelled the past two days, and I am hoping on
4 not 3 cause I don't have class on tues. and thurs. we'll see though! Keep your fingers crossed, lol.

Yeah I think some people are a bit too careful! lol It's funny watching some of the people
drive around in this, not saying that it isn't bad "Watch out for bridges!" they put sand on all the
ones near here but after a day it just turned to icy muddy slippery ****....

What part of Texas are you from?

I am east of Plano in Wylie. Luckily I only commute 10 miles to work. I sure hope the roads are better tomorrowthan this morning... What I have notices about bridges is most people slow down right before them and cause everyone else behind to checkup and cause accidents.

I don't know if yours has an automatic, but it was sure nice this morning to start in second andease into the throttle-I didn't spin at all. When I lived in snow country, I had a pickup with a 4-speed-not the best thing to have taking off on ice.

Be safe and good luck with your commute tomorrow...

No ice storms in CO.
47" of snow since 12/21 though. Our first blast was 28" on 12/21 & 12/22.
Bought my Pony 12/26, picture taken 12/27.
Drive safely.
