Still Snowing.
Picture out Wake Zone door of the other Rudd-Mobile. Note the accumulation on the roof of the Suburban to indicate depth.

Wow! That's a lot more than I would have expected. It looks really pretty though.

I take it most things have come to a standstill?

I have feeling that this is going to be a snowy winter for Cary considering the weather since Thanksgiving... if this keeps up I'll have to bring the Acura back down to NC.

...hmm, maybe I should reconsider selling the snowblower.

I love how 3 Porsches transformed into 3 urban assault vehicles

Here's a pic from just getting home. We're up to 17cm and still coming down........

Holy cow!

Thanks for posting the photos. That's a good amount of snow for anywhere and shocking for what I've been told of Cary winters.

I'm continuing to feel uneasy about having the 996 as my only car in Cary this winter. Unfortunately, it's probably too late to get the 996 north into my garage in PA.

Not to worry yankee, you can remove your undergarments from the crack of your butt.

When we do get snow, it unleashes hell and then is gone as quick as it came in. If there is even a dusting of snow the entire triangle shuts down so you don't have to worry about driving anywhere.

I'll be interested in seeing how long this snow sticks around.

You can mock Dell, but I don't see you driving your 996 around on summer tires today. Mocking someone for legitimately being concerned about safety seems a little childish and disingenuous to me.

The snow that you're getting would not phase me under any other circumstance than the one I currently have - it's a matter of using appropriate equipment for appropriate conditions and a 996 on summer tires is clearly inappropriate, despite the assertions and mocking of some.

thats a good amount of snow - depending on the locals it could become a bit slow going on the highways. If/when Seattle gets snow like people just leave their cars (where it is...even on the freeway, in the fast lane) and walk 20 miles home.... its quicker - we basicly have to wait 1.5 days to get the all the cars crashed so the people who actuall can drive.... CAN DRIVE

good luck with that guys, I wish our temps were much cooler, we are nearly 50 @ 8am... no snow here

No, just tired of being mocked over a legitimate and valid concern, it's getting old.
