wmw999 2,589 #28 December 11, 2008 Quote Conroe in the early 70's and remember it snowed (not predicted) I'm pretty sure I remember that; January 1973 we got 4 inches of snow down where I was in school, right after an ice storm. The snow stuck for several days because it had been so cold. Houston was completely unequipped to handle it. And the guys in one of the dorms built a snow hermaphrodite Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

labrys 0 #30 December 12, 2008 QuoteI did stop in a nice big parking lot on the way home for about 30 minutes of donuts and showing her how to regain control in a spinning car... she did well too... after about 15 minutes I had her drifting in figure 8's around light poles :) That's just how I learned to drive in snow. A friend of mine suggested it the first winter in lived in a snowy place. I grew up in Georgia and didn't have a clue.... We went to a mall parking lot on a Sunday night and did endless slide / drift / spin recoveries. It not only teaches you what the limits of the car are, it teaches you how to make the best of misjudging the surface.Owned by Remi #? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure > I remember that; January 1973 we got 4 inches of snow... So we had to go back 35 years to find an incident with more snow in Houston than yesterday. THAT's why it was such a big deal. It may be nothing more than "frost" to many of you, but here in Houston it's an extremely rare freak of weather.

Yoshi 0 #33 December 12, 2008 yeah...practicing in a parking lot does help to learn the limits of your car.... Im not sure about the legality of it though... a cop did pull up into the parking lot as I was doing 360 after 360 and I drove up to him... he rolled down his window and was like "You Lost?!?" I said nah..just teaching my fiance here how to drive in snow...we just moved here from Houston... he just nodded and drove off.. I thought that was pretty cool. I think he thought I was some high school kid at first... _________________________________________ this space for rent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
