Sucks for the people who put on summer tires already

[Bumjubeo]

Yep, and that is the exact reason we dont put our summer tires on until after our May longweekend.

[msommers]

Yea, seems about right. Hopefully it's the last one but usually there is a bit during Maylong:cry:

[Moezer]

yeeeeah snow ill get to drive the derango wooot

[403ep3]

Meh, it will probably melt by the time I wake up.

[chengj]

Yep, it's always like this. Every year. :)

Though according to the weather network, chance of snow has been reduced. We might not get it... yet.

[GQBalla]

your bang on, this is how calgary is every year.

i have my summers on though...

[scat19]

y0y0 weather, son.

Not exactly. That's the exact reason why we shouldn't put our summer tires on until after May long weekend. Some people still don't learn.

It take me 45 minutes to swap 4 wheels.

25 minutes if I have help.

I would rather take the chance of having to change them twice then run down squishy rubber on warm pavement.

[spikerS]

i swapped my summers on about 2 weeks ago, if we get a serious dumping, i will take the Jeep.

Yeah, but we're not all baller... :)

[Tomaz]

My weather network app is now telling me there might be a chance of nothing! :D (Wishful thinking, I know)

Mind you, this is Calgary and it will always be messed up. I have seen it snow in every month so far. Nothing weirder than getting a centimeter in July!

[95EagleAWD]

I'm not worried. It's warm enough during the day that all the snow melts anyways. It isn't sticking around.

I've been on summers since I got my Evo, and that's going on 7 weeks now. Not one problem, and there was still snow on the ground back then.

[msommers]

Getting snow at my place:cry:

[Ebon]

Very Very light snow here atm

[w_man]

starting to come down hard here in downtown

[JordanEG6]

Starting to get it pretty good in the NE.

Yeah it's like this every year. I remember a blizzard in mid-May some odd years back that lasted about a day. Got up to about a foot of snow and it all melted in a week.

[adam c]

i wouldn't say it's coming down hard in DT, just big flakes

[ICEBERG]

HOLY CRAP...The Snow Really coming down hard in country hills area.:eek:

[JAYMEZ]

Pretty hard around 130ave

[j0nblayz]

oh crap, i thought it was gonna snow tomorrow and drove to work today with my summers on. Currently in downtown, roads look just wet. Hows the southside by cranston? or macleod? is it accumulating?

[kevie88]

Yes, it's ALWAYS like this in April/May.

[rage2]

Working from home today... snow's comin' down good now. Not sticking to the ground yet tho!

[j0nblayz]

oh double crap, its snowing even harder now in downtown.. gonna leave the office early and start heading home..

[Ebon]

Coming down pretty hard here now. Nothing sticking to the pavements yet but the grassy areas are gonna be white soon.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Do you race home early from work when it rains too?

Relax... the streets are just wet.

[heavyD]

Ha Ha. Watch the city gravel/salt all the intersections they just cleaned. There will be trucks out tonight regardless of the snow sticking around or not.

The City of Calgary has already said that they won't be spreading gravel.

Only salt if necessary.

hehe

For those with summers on, good luck :D.

[sputnik]

DAMN.

Sucks to live in the NW.

The SW has a bit of snow on the grass but the streets are still just wet.

[95EagleAWD]

Sucks to be you guys. Just cold here.

[nismodrifter]

Anybodys power flickering in the extreme SW corner of the city? Had the lights flash off and on twice tonight.

[nismodrifter]

Holy crapasaurus it has picked up. The snow is hitting the windows so hard it sounds like it is raining outside.

Hope everybody has a safe drive in. If you are on summers, take the LRT.

[whiskas]

The grass... the roads... all gone. All I see is white :(

[JDMsomething]

somehow it missed us up here in Etown, but still cold as balls with the wind

[revelations]

Like WTF.... NICE JOB FORECASTERS, CALLING FOR RAIN I never saw one drop of it.

[j0nblayz]

how are the roads this morning?

[bonjoey]

oh crap! it's going to be a fun drive going down to lethbridge today :banghead: :whipped: :thumbsdow :guns: :facepalm:

[adam c]

the main roads are ok-ishshshsh, side streets are garbage
i gave up trying to drive into work and parked at the zoo

I saw tons of rain....


Just the frozen white variety...

[Trini]

side streets are a bit crappy at some intersections just icy

[Neil4Speed]

Roads are bad this morning, I saw a chick in a Sienna just spinning rubber on crowchild at a standstill.

[prae]

is this the daily weather vent thread? ok good.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:


I ran a red light today because the clown behind me couldn't stop. (I had already stopped) We had just witnessed an insurance card swap-meet and this clown still didn't slow down.

Other than a couple of spots with extremely bad ice, my drive in was uneventful.

[ZorroAMG]

Hmmmm...that's super unfortunate!


Vancouver 5 minutes ago

Whatever adam c, go make a snow angel or something, you nugget.

[Ntense_SpecV]

So that's what spring looks like...damn 10 years in this city and I have almost forgotten what 4 seasons look like. I love our 2 seasons - Winter & not Winter.

You and I both know thats the first ray of sunshine you've seen in 7 months. :D

In all seriousness Vancouver is awesome in the spring, the rose buds coming out, the warm mornings... wicked.

[Kloubek]

When it isn't raining, Vancouver is tough to beat...

[TDFTW]

I hate this city. Wish I could move. Im tired of 8 months of -150 and 1 month of spring, one week of summer, 2 months of solid rain, and 1 month of fall :(

[em2ab]

I think people simply forget that it snows in Calgary and actually try to drive with as little regard for the laws as possible.
Slippery roads? That means you can cruise through any red light you want.
Icy conditions? Pull out in front of people and hit the brakes.
Too much snow in the curb lane? Just turn right from the inside lane, yo.

:banghead: :banghead:

Actually it's been like this all week, should be through the weekend too...

:) We've had a great winter this year...minimal rain...

[jonnycat]

Lethbridge hit 28C on Tues, and got fucking hammered with blowing snow late Wednesday. Side roads were pure ice, Hwy 3 closed this morning due to accidents.

Haha, that's actually pretty damn accurate. The weather is a lot more f'd up than it used to be here though, I don't remember getting woken up at night by wind shaking my house every few weeks, it used to be maybe once every few years.

[Hakkola]

3 days of snow is hardly a month. I hate Calgary more than anyone but to say we get 8 months of snow is fucking retarded. Most of the winter is pretty mild and we only really have snow from mid November through mid march so we maybe have 4-5 months of snow on a bad year.

Ya, really. Try spending a winter in Newfoundland.

[urbannomad]

Was behind this Mazda R7 Cherry red colour on Crowchild yesterday......:nut: The moment he stopped on nosehill, and tried to accelerate we were looking at each other...It was ridiculous how he had those tiny tires on! and this was the whole way up nosehill! He almost caused a huge crash because everytime he'd accelerate the back end would dip into the other lane, and some moron decides to beat traffic and cut in between two lanes. :banghead:

We were all at a halt ready to turn left, and this dude just blazes on by...for fucks sakes, SUV or not slow the fuck down.
