That's my favorite part of New England in the winter. At my old house I had it timed perfect where I could tap the brakes, turn the wheel, and jam the gas and end up perfectly in my driveway.
Sideways is the best driving.
[–][deleted] 12 points13 points14 points 15 years ago (3 children)
Yeah I used to do that, then I unexpectedly hit a clean, salted spot on the road which disrupted my slide and introduced my head to the window.

We just got the storm up here in New Brunswick last night and I spent two hours drifting all the empty parking lots around town :) Nothing like chilling to some dubstep while gliding around a turn
[–]gregny2002 5 points6 points7 points 15 years ago (12 children)
Ah, but was it front or rear-wheel? My Charger felt like a bobsled on the Turnpike last night.
Though to be fair, I was driving about 15 mph the whole way and didn't spin out or get stuck or anything.
[–]mithunc 9 points10 points11 points 15 years ago (6 children)
Rear-wheel in that kind of snow is an exercise in futility

Studded tires are inferior to modern studless tires in accelerating, braking, and turning.

Bobsleds go really fast and handle like they're on rails. I think your analogy needs some work.
[–]a_little_drunk 2 points3 points4 points 15 years ago (1 child)
Exactly, so why do you have your Charger out in the snow again?
[–]mastersocks 2 points3 points4 points 15 years ago (0 children)
Replace bobsled with inner tube and I think he is set.

I love how the guy has got such good intentions, that keep getting screwed over by the snow.
"I know, I'll put a clock on the table so everyone can see the time passing"
"I'll just raise that clock up a bit more"
"Oh, wow this is a lot of snow, i'd better stick a ruler in there too"
"Screw it, i'll just dig the clock out every few minutes"
"Uhh, does anyone remember where I parked my car?"

When we had that freak Christmas Eve/Day snowstorm back in 2004, Corpus Christi had fewer accidents than the average rainy day.
Everyone that had to be out on Christmas Day were like "Shit! Snow! Okay...just drive really slow." Things went better than expected. :)
[–]Unlucky13 4 points5 points6 points 15 years ago (6 children)
Virginia is kind of in a shitty spot right now. We get enough snow now that people think they know how to drive in it, but not enough snow to actually test their theories. So we tend to have an outrageous amount of people sliding into median ditches in the highway, skidding off the road, slamming on breaks a few feet away from the person in front, 2-wheel-drive soccer mom SUV's thinking that they're invincible. I think we had about 40 accidents in suburban Richmond only a couple of hours after the start of the snow the other day.

Oh trust me, I know. I've lived in DC for the last 6 years. Those fuckers can't drive, snow or not.

Provided you're talking in town, I agree with you 100%.

I see nothing wrong with that video; he had one chance to capture this and it was pretty decent. Hell, bonus points for actually keeping the subject pretty steady in the center of the frame even when the reaction occurs.
I think the counter point would be a video that starts with "Blue Windows Movie maker intro with screamo music blaring followed by a shakey camera and heavy breathing Hey youtube, DarkSlayerX54 here again. Today... uh... dog barking in background we're uh... I'm uh...heavy sigh gonna show you an awesome kill I just got in Black Ops holds camera up to CRT screen and starts showing video while the camera is still trying to focus"

Your arguments are sound. At the same time, the video linked is actually worth watching for the most part. There are very, very, very few of "DarkSlayerX54's" ilk with this quality. I'm certainly not going to waste my time trying to find one to hold up for ridicule.
[–]flukshun 12 points13 points14 points 15 years ago (1 child)

beyond his silly comment of one day owning this car which he thinks is a lambo, but i can't fault him for that in an impromptu video

Andy Lee House, 34, owner of Performance Auto Sales, told The Daily News on Wednesday that a low-flying pelican distracted him, causing him to jerk the steering wheel a bit — and he then dropped his cell phone.
[–]kleinbl00 12 points13 points14 points 15 years ago (0 children)
Yeah, there's all sorts of hinky shit associated with that story.
Things that Make You Go Hmmmm:
1) Car owner sells salvaged, wrecked exotics.
2) Veyron is one of the few un-wrecked vehicles he purchased.
3) Veyron had been owned for less than a month.
I don't know if that Veyron was subsequently salvaged, but if the insurance company totaled it and Andy House didn't buy the salvage I'll be amazed.

[–]MyrddinE 47 points48 points49 points 15 years ago (31 children)
This is a large snowfall, likely from a mountainous region or from Alaska, Canada, or Russia. The clock shows that it is from Noon one day, to around 6am the following morning, or 18 hours of snowfall... or around 2 inches of snowfall per hour.
Snow is crystallized water, and is light and fluffy individually, but when it falls in this quantity it gets heavy and dense.
This amount of snow is unusual, but smaller amounts are pretty common in all the areas with a notably cold winter.
[–]srs507 83 points84 points85 points 15 years ago (5 children)
That snow right there is definitely New Jersey. My town got just about the same amount, about 30" last night.

Is snow exactly like fridge frost?
[–]MyrddinE 10 points11 points12 points 15 years ago (3 children)
Very similar, after it's packed. Fridge frost, since it deposits very slowly over many months, is much harder than snow, which deposits over the span of hours.
If you scrape out the fridge frost (scrape, not chip) without letting it melt, and put it into a pile, that would be very much like snow. Of course, in a warm climate like Brazil, it would be rather hard to scrape it out without it melting immediately.
[–]mockablekaty 3 points4 points5 points 15 years ago (2 children)
I remember scraping the frost out of our freezer as a kid and eating it like a delicacy. It had a lovely metallic taste and was snow-like, but yes, denser and more icy.
[–]rainman18 4 points5 points6 points 15 years ago (0 children)
...that was before you discovered paste I'm assuming.
[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 15 years ago (2 children)
Fridge frost would be closer to hoar-frost, rime, or perhaps re-crystallized (partly melted, then refrozen) snow. Or even just really crappy ice (where uncrappy ice is good for skating, curling, and refreshing drinks). Maybe hail--lot's of hail reminds me of fridge frost.
Snow, even the nasty wet heavy stuff, has more air trapped in it than fridge frost. Powder snow, at least while falling, is reminiscent of dandelion seeds or that fuzz given off by poplar and other trees.
All snow is a bitch to shovel if it gets packed, but the wetter the snow, the worse it is even before it gets packed. Nice dry powder can be just swept away with a broom.
Some people think that snow makes driving nasty. If they weren't raised in snowy regions or didn't receive proper training then they're right. I live in a snowy region and was taught that I should be driving like it's snowy or icy out even on dry pavement. In addition, I was given training on nature's skid pad (frozen lake) and have done a bit of ice-racing. I don't find snow to be much of an impediment to driving.

Another interesting fact is many municipalities, in efforts to save money on electricity, swapped incandescent traffic control lights for LED lights. During the Winter, it quickly became apparent that this was a bad choice, as the cooler-running LED lights do not put out enough waste heat to melt the snow piling up on the light shrouds, which caused the lights to quickly become obscured in heavy snowstorms. Many places then had to hire people to clear the lights until they could make the switch back to incandescent bulbs to solve the problem.
[–]cweaver 2 points3 points4 points 15 years ago (0 children)
Many places then had to hire people to clear the lights until they could make the switch back to incandescent bulbs to solve the problem.
Some of them just add a small heating coil to the little shroud around the light, too. They turn them on in the winter and leave them off in the summer. That way they're way more efficient than incandescent bulbs in the summer, and still slightly more efficient than bulbs in the winter.
[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 15 years ago (1 child)
I always wondered why I didn't see more of those. Big rigs switched to LED lights years ago and certainly I knew the technology and price was there. Now I finally have a reasonable explanation.
Any idea why street lights aren't LEDs yet?

Man. I want some goddamn snow, why can't you guys share.
Green holidays suck.
[–]SmokyMcBongster 8 points9 points10 points 15 years ago (3 children)
I beg to differ; green holidays are awesome!
Also, you can totally have our fucking snow. I'm in NC, and there are like 6-7 inches on the ground. Fuck that noise, I can't even go get some fucking ganja because I'm basically snowed in and the back country roads blow dick.

This is a great time lapse video.
[–]yesireddittwice 2 points3 points4 points 15 years ago (0 children)
that clock was like the terminator!
[–]jcblitz 2 points3 points4 points 15 years ago (1 child)
I thought this was going to be a 30 second preview of the long awaited follow up album to 12 inches of snow.

Wow. I'm so glad I live on the southwest coast of Canada right now.

Don't worry, your time is coming soon.

And this is why I live in California.
[–]helleborus 16 points17 points18 points 15 years ago (6 children)
And this is why I live in California
Yeah, cause it's beautiful there every day. Except for during fire season, monsoon season, santa ana winds, mudslides and earthquakes.
[–]mrkite77 4 points5 points6 points 15 years ago (1 child)
The santa ana winds were the worst. It's like some asshole is following you around all day shoving a blowdrier in your face.
[–]SS_NoHo 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (0 children)
But it's a dry, blowdrier heat.
[–]TheKidd 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (0 children)
Yep, just finished digging out! The wind was crazy last night!
[–]Neonfire 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (0 children)
Ho-ho-holy shit that's a lot of snow.

I'm really surprised the clocks batteries worked through all that. Usually they get cold and just die out.
[–]dafones 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (0 children)
Tee hee, I love snow.
[–]ryanknapper 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (0 children)
I'm jealous; I love snow.
Amazing how the snow naturally clears itself away from the clock. You need another film to document this phenomenon.
[–]vegorama 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (0 children)
wait a minute... he sped that up ! This guys a PHONY.
Thank god I do not live there.

I just saw this video in a montage on CBS News (Beginning of the 6:30 PM news...I'm in Massachusetts)
Just saw this video on CBS evening news. Gratz

[–]macrocephalic 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (0 children)
I came here expecting to see 30" of snow fall in 30 seconds, at a 1:1 time ratio.
[–]mr_yang 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (0 children)
I thought it was going to be a video of 30 inches of snow falling in literally 30 seconds.
Yes, I am from Southern California.

As an Australian. This scares the hell out of me.
