it's looking to be pretty nasty so far, see what the +4 weather does to it over the next few days.

tell them not to be lazy and jack up the back and front of the car with a floor jack and then put the arms under it. we do that at our shop with all the low mustangs. or drive onto 4 blocks of wood.

So I've decided to keep the winter tires on for at least a little while longer. I still hope to make it, but we'll just have to wait and see. As the old adage states: "If you don't like the weather in Alberta, wait 5 mins"

So i just checked the weather again and its gonna snow saturday and sunday.. Im still coming no matter what but if a lot of people cant make itwe can also have the meeting the weekend after i guess.

-And yes 1pm at crossiron mill in front of sporcheck.

-And yeah. Kurogane and Vulkan have no winters but i guess sumer tires would be ok if you drive slow because deerfoont and the main roads are gonna be ok.

-And take the car to the mazda dealer lol

So there's been about 10cm of snow since Thursday here in Edmonton. It's sorta melting. What's the story in Calgary and on HW2?

It's snowing now, supposed to snow all day i'll see what it's like at noon but i likely won't make it due to the snow. I also don't wanna get stuck out there if it decides to dump in the middle of the afternoon!

I never took the winters off so I'll see everyone who can make it there. A little off topic - I even took it out the morning of the snow dump Thursday, it is my daily driver afterall, but you can't use the DSC in that much snow.

I'm going to bail as well. 3-5 hours will make a difference on the highway at this rate. We should reschedule for next month.

nothing but snow in the near future. I'll have to pass.

Also, you can watch the snow track across the province http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/radar..._e.html?id=WRN
