I like snow, but I hate driving in it.

It's fun when you've got a good 4x4! My solution to snow driving is basically the same as off-roading, APPLY MORE POWERRR!!

[Inferno]

Oh cool Canada finally invented electricity. Good job.

[Jean-Luc]

You used a snowblower for that short driveway? Shame on you.

[Cortexian]

You used a snowblower for that short driveway? Shame on you.
It's about twice as wide as it is long, and you're missing about 1/4 of the drive length in that picture. Also, notice how the snow is to my knee? That displays that the snow is about 2 feet deep, and it was that deep all across the driveway and about 3 feet by the road.

Same on you for even suggesting that you could shovel that!

Nevermind the fact that I have a 250 foot long driveway that, regardless of depth, I have to shovel every snowfall.

Nope, shame on me :allears:

[Cortexian]

You have a 250 foot driveway? And you can't afford a snow blower?

Shame on you.

[Atty]

You have a white jeep? Shame on you.

[Jean-Luc]

Shame on you.
The length of the driveway is directly proportional to my financial standing? That's a new one.:-3 Yes, I'm trole'in

[jcap]

You are such a terrible person for using your cell phone while driving!

[Atty]

On behalf of all the homosexuals in the world and more importantly, on the internet, I'd just like to let you know that we are severely hurt by your choice in insults for the snow.

By the way, we would like to inform you the Snow has it's own grievances it would like to file.

You'll be hearing from our lawyers.

[Cortexian]

You have a white jeep? Shame on you.
Jeep is a pretty cool truck. eh drive with 4 tires and goes through everythin...

Your financial standing is irrelevant, if you have a 250 foot driveway and you live somewhere where it snows a lot you buy a snow blower. Sounds like common sense to me!

[Horns]

Why not just buy a loader while you're at it! :awesomesanta:

Jeep + Plow > Loader

[StankBacon]

shoveling snow is easy.

[Jean-Luc]

shoveling snow is easy.
And good exercise if there's 5+ inches of wet snow on the ground.

[CN3089]

Cool homophobia bro :maddowns:

[t3h m00kz]

GET IT BECAUSE SNOW.. AND COOL AHA ITS SO FUNNY

[itszutak]

No snow in CA :realsmug:

Protip: You don't shovel 3 feet or more of snow every day for months where you live!

Real men do.

However, Freelancer is Canadian and does not work in the lumber industry sooo

[NullZero]

from your title:
shovelling snow is gay
hence, the act of shovelling snow is gay
you are shovelling the snow
therefore, you are gay

theory is proven.

[Varmint260]

We get wet slushy snow here and when that shit is wet, you can't blow it away. When it freezes to the pavement, you can't blow it away. Scrapin' is the only way to go.

I only need to scrape/shovel snow once a year; though when the wet slushy snow freezes the driveway's nearly impossible to get out of without a 4x4. Last year I had my Astro van (rear wheel drive) nose down the driveway (at least 20-30 degree incline) and there was no way I was gettin' it out without a tow.

This year, F-350 turbo diesel 4x4 instead of Astro van. Come on winter, bring it!

[Limited]

No snow here, sucks :(

Its just freaking cold and pissing down with rain constantly.

Least with snow you can have snowball fights and have fun with neighbours.

[Sel]

extreme pita is fucking garbage

[FRain]

I have a long ass driveway (not 250 foot like jean lucs but still) and it goes downhill.. I had just finished so we could go to the grocery store and this asshole semi truck drives by and PLOWS all the snow back onto the driveway.

[Geo]

I think you should all get a Ford F-350 1 ton with a 7" lift kit, chained 42 inch tires, and a plow frame package. That way you can have an excuse to not shovel, and still feel badass. :realsmug:

[thehoodedsmack]

I love shoveling. Great way to get some extra exercise when there's all that holiday food to be had.

[Chainsy]

Putting on weight for the winter freelancer? :allears:

Ain't no need for a 7" lift kit or 42" tires! I'd love to put a plow frame on mine though.

[Cortexian]

It's decently health and extremely tasty, I see a flaw in your statement.

7" and 42's are ridicules for snow, all you need is the plow frame package and some decent tires. Hopefully we'll eventually have a 4-5" lift (which ever is smallest but allows us the use of 37's) with 37" tires. No real need for a plow package though with that, since you can just go through everything...

I saw snow for the first time about a week ago.

I can confirm that it is cold and mushy.

He's a dirty boy. Freelancer likes to see the dirt on his Jeep more clearly after running around in the mud.

How wide are the 37" tires, out of curiosity? Wide tires are good for mud but if you need to stay on the pavement, skinny tires with a good radius are great for snow. A friend told me the Michelins on my truck look like pizza cutters. Slice right through that thar snow!

Give it a crank and add a leaf and you can fit 37's. :)

We don't have them yet, we've got a list of stuff that we're going to be adding to the Jeep and the lift kit and 37" tires are fairly far down it... Next thing we get will probably be an XHD front bumper (http://www.quadratec.com/showcases/rugged_ridge/modular_bumper/jk.php) (Winch Mount, Black Hoop, End Caps), we already have a Warn 9.5ti winch to go into it. Then we're probably going to add a Rugged Ridge Front Skid Plate (http://www.quadratec.com/products/12052_1000_07.htm), and then a Snorkel but we're not sure which brand yet.

If you look at the picture of the Jeep on the XHD bumper configuration page, that's approximately the lift we're going for, possibly slightly lower. You can even throw on the White color and you'll basically see exactly what our Jeep will look like (we have a 4-door though).

[Geo]

HECK YES. You gotta love Leaf suspension in the front and back, unlike other pathetic trucks/cars. I love this guy

[Varmint260]

Get some tires that are even wider than the ones in that pic and then forget going through the snow... surf on top of it!

Seriously though, looks pretty cool.

We superior Californian elites don't have this problem. Guess what we have? SUN. That thing that creates life. Yeah, suck on it

Didn't you see my igloo?

ugh nvm...

[Cortexian]

Fine I repent, there is probably only around 40-50ish days where we get 3 feet of snow throughout the entire winter season. It does snow every day though to varying degrees for many months.

I live ways the fuck north of Calgary, and it does not snow 3 feet in a day.
Heavy snowfall warnings start at around 15-20 cm (6-8 inches).

[Varmint260]

Still haven't had snow yet. Supposedly there's a 40% chance of flurries tonight. Tomorrow's weather sounds like normal winter weather for this town, though: "40 percent chance of flurries changing to 40 percent chance of rain showers near noon and then to 40 percent chance of flurries late in the day".

[§partan 8]

I like snow, but I hate driving in it.


dude thats the best part driving in the snow. whenever it snows here im outside all day driving in it

Way North of Calgary isn't Calgary, it's all about the location of Calgary in relation to the Rockies. We get warm air and cold air mixing and it causes freaky weather that you won't see anywhere else in the world, basically due to Chinook winds and all that. We get massive dumps of snow randomly, and gigantic dumps during the winter/December season.

[blind]

and gigantic dumps during the winter/December season.
i get gigantic dumps 365 :cool:

[Horns]

Since we own all the streets that we live around and the streets that our businesses are on, we do a lot of plowing each year. We have 2 plow trucks, 2 Deere 544J loaders, 3 Skidloaders, 2 snow blowers, and a lot of shovels.

Got similar or slightly more in The Greater Toronto Area today. Now's it's raining and it'll all freeze overnight :smith:

[Varmint260]

I remember two winters ago down island, waking up one morning to not find the van but a big cube in the snow about four feet higher than the van's roof. We don't get lots of constant snowfall; it's usually one or two massive dumps of snow.

[Mass]

4-5in load in Chicago so far which is disappointing, especially since the rain from Tuesday froze in the awful 0°F weather for a nice layer of ice beneath the snow.

More importantly, this is far short of the whopping two feet needed for a snow-day. (To be fair we have an army of huge plow/salter combo (http://egov.cityofchicago.org/city/webportal/portalContentItemAction.do?BV_SessionID=@@@@010670 5978.1260498414@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccfadejdhhdfiecefecelldffhdfif.0&contentOID=536910271&contenTypeName=COC_EDITORIAL&topChannelName=Residents&blockName=Promo+Item&channelId=-536879024&programId=536879092) trucks that spray literal truck-loads of salt on everything to the point where the bottom of almost any object outside gets stained white)

Oh yeah, and we have a :cop: Snow Command :cop:

[StankBacon]

i hate Chicago weather :(

[Varmint260]

Only once in my five years in high school did they close down for a snow day. Reason? Six-foot-deep snow drifts on the sidewalks. Worst blizzard I've ever seen in town here. If the snow is three feet deep all around? Plow them thar sidewalks and roads; those kids are going to school anyways!

We had a dusting of snow the other day, and now the weather's warming up. We've got rain/snow mix forecasted. All the negatives of rain, but now FUCKING COLD rain. I love powder snow, but fucking wet slushy rainy snow pisses me off. Talk about ruining a good thing.

[Yoko]

Only once in my five years in high school did they close down for a snow day.
Worst that happened in high school was my junior year, some bad blizzard an high winds. They sent everyone home that could drive after half a day before it got any worse. I was the only one in my last three periods because I didn't have a car yet. It was really awkward with my teachers. :smith:
