Snow/Winter 2008-2009

[littlewhite]

After getting stuck in 3 car crashes tonight and the storm aint even here yet, i just want to make a post up for members to share their stories & pix. I remember seeing great pix of the landscape and their Audis out in the snow.

I have a very bad feeling for next week when it comes to multi car sliding downhill (i.e. remember the Volvo pinball hitting cars downhill in Pdx).

[littlewhite]

jsut woke up. Snowing out in Pdx!

eh! big spinout on Marquam Bridge & is a Lincoln

[mcaanda]

I remember that video for sure. They were replaying it the other day when they were talking about the upcoming storm.

It's going to be a classic like the Charlie Brown Christmas Specials for sure. Every time they think that it's going to snow, that video will get dusted off.

Here's mine - Im about 3o miles from Mt. Rainer and just got done w/ the oil change 15 min ago.



Damn it needs to be washed.

I'm in NE Portland by the airport. This is this morning. I took the A4 out for a little quattro fun at some empty parking lots! ;)

[littlewhite]

Nice pix !

So i found out what happened last night on I-5/Macadam when i was stuck forever (stuck on 3rd car crashes just last night). Some guy went the WRONG WAY onto I-5, multi car accident...

I am in Moscow ID right now and there was a huge blizzard yesterday. Today was fun, did some donuts and drifting in parking lots. I think the highest temp we reached today was 15 degrees

[02SILVANT]

I slapped on my Studless Snow tires with black steelies and i went all over the place today. Happy Valley, Clackamas, Camas, and then of course Vancouver at home!!!

I watched other cars get stuck spin out and such, but cruising next to the in an Audi felt good cuz i didnt spin out or peel out anywhere!!!

I love my four rings for winter!!!

Sorry no pics!!!

[littlewhite]

I went out few times with my car throughout the day yesterday for pix. Sliding everywhre. Stockers with Pirelli Rosso FTL... had to work so hard to get grip. Spaghetti Factory was closed & saw a B6 Avant rolling around the St by there. Swing by Matrix, and was closed (of course it was Sunday!) Yea, i cant make it up their small hill Went over to downtown and Riverplace. A cop came after me and followed me for like 10mins Then i let him pass and he just stopped his car in front of the turnabout/around? island at Riverplace & pretty much blocked the St

Just found out no need to be @ work until 10am... Got pwned

[SoFresh]

Still on my summer tires... sucks, need to get some winter wheels/tires, but broke as a muthafuc......

[CSHO1.8t]

You guys should see Bend right now... And I've been rollin in a new rabbit with no snow tires!

[littlewhite]

Only runnin the CKs because I just got the car back and have been to lazy to score a winter set of wheels... the KDWs however are not much fun in the ice

[littlewhite]

My stockers will be happy with you! Get them

[SoFresh]

As when I said lazy, I meant broke, lol. How much you looking to get for them picked up?

[Rhinop21]

I did this....

[SoFresh]

^^ ouch :-(

[littlewhite]

eh!! Parents house is in WL. Hills are BAD there. I went down Arbor with my B5 few yrs back. I was stupid but somehow made it in 1-piece. I had some ContiExtremes back then for winter.

Any major damage?

[Rhinop21]

Yea i didn't even have a chance. I blame it on lack of experience and bald stockers. No it was all my fault. But its fender and side mirror, headlights, dent in door.no visible frame damage and she still purs and drives fine. Just a little cosmetic mishap. The good thing is that we just refinanced with allstate so the first claim doesnt affect your rates :). So Im getting headlights, grill, and maybe s4 bumper we'll see what all the auto body "thinks" is wrong ;).

[Rhinop21]

^^ ouch :-(

Your a3 is dope as hell. Makes me want one. :)

[SmithS4]

[littlewhite]

Thx! I took some more that day and many came out quite good! Hopefully will have another chance to do so end of the week if we get more snow

[littlewhite]

Finally getting snow in downtown through little window that I can see at work!

[02SILVANT]

There is more on the way this weekend

[littlewhite]

Yea not really sticking… hopefully it will over night. Maybe freezing rain during rush hr… that will be bad

[02SILVANT]

That will be horrible!

Oh man i cant wait till they open meadows all the way, they only have a few small lifts open. Im praying that it all opens up on saturday so i can go up to snowboard!

[OMEGA SUPREME]

This winter storm is weak sauce. I have seen more flakes fall from my head.

You might want to switch to a new brand of shampoo then.....




I have to agree tho, the "PNW winter storm" is only a big deal because of the lack of preparation from both the cities and their citizens .

[jeremy@matrix]

It's amazing how many drivers in Oregon simply CAN'T drive.

Just heard that NW Idaho got 2' of snow last night. Entire place is shut down and no one can get anywhere.

Quattro is king!!

[littlewhite]

Weatherman FAIL! Got nothing here except high elevation!! Parents place got like 8”+ Seattle area got 2-3” now already. Lucky~

[02SILVANT]

My house is right on the border of Vancouver and camas and we got like 1-2 inches already. I get to work there is just a little thin layer of snow and it started to melt.
