I’m a bit sad. I was hoping for a few more nice days to drive the car. It’s currently snowing...

I installed my winter tires today on my forester and our 2014 pathfinder

Basically just have to install my new plow on my Kawasaki teryx 750 and I’m ready for winter.

It snowed hard in BC and Alberta yesterday, finally moved down to the banana belt. I probably won’t have to plow until late November but who knows.

Don’t lose hope, there’s always at least a few days throughout the colder months where it gets warm enough to rain, wash all the salt off the roads, and last just long enough for the sun to peak out so you can sneak a scenic drive in.

I live for those days.

It snowed here too. All the ponds have frozen over. It begins!

Meanwhile in Georgia:

It was a beautiful day that could have been enjoyed even more with a Datsun to drive.

My problem is that I park the car in the lower part of the garage and by mid December there is no way I can get out of there due to snow accumulation. The datsun is terrible in snow, like really terrible, like you look at snow on a hillside 3 miles away and it slides off the road.

Well, on the bright side, the ski slopes will be ready soon.

Only a short 5 hour drive away from here to the Carolinas . So yeah, come up my way and you can drive your Datsun year round! Road tripping the distance to the Carolinas would absolutely be the most memorable way to go.

Solstice just went back to hibernation today too. Had to get my F30 to fix a bad bearing before winter hits full swing.

I remember. Cool. When my mom was in college at UVM, they used to drive up to Stowe on weekends. She said the trend in skis was long and thin at the time.
