Fuckin Calgary.... hahahaha.

fuck, too soon junior

[Hallowed_point]

GTFO at least until Halloween

[firebane]

:\ Not making me too happy. I spent the first 6 months of the year doing night shifts and waking up in the morning now when its pitch black is even more depressing.

Top it off I was hoping to have my engine together before the snow flies but I doubt that is happening anymore... :banghead:

[revelations]

HAHA bad joke right????


Seriously though, the long range horoscope guesses that this winter will be warmer than average ..... for what its worth ....:nut:

That's pretty wishful thinking.

[nickyh]

It's too early to be discussing winter.
I'm going to stick my head in the sand and pray this winter is a non-event.

[DeleriousZ]

Mountains got a nice dusting it looks like.

[rage2]

Tuesday forecasts shows snow. It'll melt pretty quick though if it does come down.

Even if it snowed, like rage said, it wouldn't stay on the roads for long. I wouldn't want to have studded winters on at this point in time.

[flipstah]

Great, I'm driving to BC this weekend on summers...

Yea what I posted was Environment Canadas guess, the Farmers Almanac uses a different modeling method for guesstimates.

Got a good view of the mountain top driving to work this morning, it's white.

no it certainly wont stick, but it also wont be fun driving in that with summers. My studded kuhmos wont go on till our daily high temp drops below 10C for a week. For now I will be switching to my all seasons soonish or perhaps some used non-studded winters.

[firebane]

Sticking or not.. Its still damn snow in September.

[mrsingh]

F**k this thread title, lol, I hate discussing the upcoming winter. If I put my fingers in my ears can I pretend it's not coming?

[MGCM]

"winter is coming":angel:

[ddduke]

Everyone's getting worried for no reason, we have at least 6 weeks before we start getting any snow that may potentially stick. I can't remember a single September where you actually needed winter tires.

[MGCM]

who said anything about actually installing winter tires now?? certainly was not me..........

[redline]

I was in the mountains fishing and it snowed a good 6 inches Tuesday/Wednesday

shit was crazy, trees snapping from the weight of the snow, i could not get the slide on my trailer closed cause there was too much snow on it

:devil:

My winter tires are studded, they are not going on until we get a proper snowfall that is going to stick around.

I've got the OEM all seasons on right now... good enough to deal with any of thelate fall slushy conditions that might be encountered.

My studded tires don't go on until the first ads for Christmas start hitting the radio station. That would be yesterday....

Environment Canada and Yahoo weather on iPhone already predicted that a few days ago. Based on the estimated temps, it's not going to stick. Ground temps are still fairly high.

That's what I'm hoping for since I'm still running PSS's.

I'm surprised that tirebob isn't the one starting these threads.
Mo money, mo money, mo money.

[lilmira]

People will freak out anyway and drive at 30km/h with hazards on. OMG, oh nooooooooooooooo!

[ExtraSlow]

Bob doesn't need to drum up buisness at this time of year. He's usualy flat out six days a week for several months in the fall.

[mr2mike]

It's not Fall yet.

Are you? I would say otherwise.

[MGCM]

hahahaha we dont get frost in summer and to my knowledge we have already gotten frost, so its definately not summer anymore, and if its not -20C then its not winter..........hmmmmmm so puzzling, i guess it COULD BE fall already:dunno:

[mr2mike]

Technically Fall is Sept 23. Hence my statement on Sept 5th.

[Redlyne_mr2]

cant wait for winter! :clap:

[avishal26]

Just ordered my Blizzaks for the SUV from Gary at UrbanX South! I am kinda looking forward to it (the winter), but my commute is going to suck. . . until I move to Legacy in Jan :D

technically nobody cares about when winter/spring/summer/fall technically start, its just some random date on a calender.

Whew good thing I get to choose between Direzza Z11s, Hankook RS-3s and Toyo R1Rs until I change over to winters.

[MGCM]

apparently its snowing up north already, can anyone confirm this?

[2Legit2Quit]

Snowing in Red Deer since I woke up ~6:30AM, nothing sticking to the ground though.

[lilmira]

Yep, got snow on my roof in Royal Oak, not sticking on the ground though.

[ICEBERG]

It is coming down pretty good in Panorama Hills right now. Starting to accumulate on the grass and the deck.. Might throw on the winter tires early this year.

[dubhead]

Driving home to Edmonton on my summers might be a little interesting tomorrow. Supposed to be back up to 20 degrees by next weekend though.

[rage2]

I'm throwing on my winters today on the winter car. If there's any snow sticking, the PSS's will kill me. :(

Way back in the day, I drove back from Edmonton in a freak whiteout storm on Bridgestone S-02's. Probably one of my most memorable drives, 3 hours white knuckling down #2 in the 944 Turbo with tons of trucks and semis in the ditch. Drive safe!

[nickyh]

I see the odd flake flying by my office window right now.
Switched from the A/C mode on the thermostat to the Heat function before I left the house this morning.

[bigbadboss101]

In a couple days it will be warmer again. I plan on putting the winter tires on may be mid October. People who has multple cars can put winters on one vehicle and if needed drive that one when there's snow. Shouldn't have much accumulation for a few weeks yet.

[schocker]

Lol, snowing super hard downtown right now. Leave early or stay late, people better start choosing now :rofl:

[adamc]

Woke up to 2" on the ground just outside of Rocky Mountain House, has to be 3" there now. No signs of stopping now.

We're 5 streets away and you had no flurries? It was coming down good an hour ago. It's stopped now.

Bullcrap. It was hailing pellets this morning. :(

[DeleriousZ]

Yeah I haven't seen anything but rain down here so far, maybe I've got the monday morning eye glaze going too hard or something.

[flipstah]

I walked down 12th this morning and it sucked. Hail galore. :(

Now, all we got is fog. :(

[Kijho]

Someone had a pic up on FB with a good amount of snow stuck on the ground west of the city near Cochrane. Anyone else seeing snow actually sticking? I don't want to change to winters just yet lol..

[SkiBum5.0]

^ nothing will stick for any amount of time because the ground temp is still high. I skated to work on PSS's this morning and it was fine - I'm only worried about the soccer mom in the stow-and-go sled behind me with bald all-seasons.

[88CRX]

The snow isn't even sticking to the grass... the roads are barely wet.

[rage2]

Snow hasn't really started yet. Forecasts have been saying it's coming this afternoon.

I'm in the same boat with PSS's

I feel bad for all the people who just took delivery of the M3's / M4's in the past couple of weeks :rolleyes: . Time to put em away :banghead:

[DeleriousZ]

Was snowing harder a bit ago but seeing tiny flakes still.

[nzwasp]

Drove from Golden this morning. Was raining hardcore in Golden both overnight and early this morning. I had a few dodgy hydro planes due to the torrents coming down the road around field BC. Then the rain turned to sleet/freezing rain about lake louise. From canmore to calgary there was slush all over the roads, I saw a few cars in the ditch but nothing major. Alot of people were driving 80k or less on highway 1 from scotts hill to the hwy 22 turn off.
