Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches North Central Winter is Here

So the first real snow came last night. First it was rain, then it changed to kind of an ice rain mix and then to all out snow. We really didn't get that much here in Brainerd but OMG ws it slippery as all hell. I drove home from the bolling alley at around 12:30 and there was no one in site and just roads covered with snow and ice. So winter is finally here and I'm not excited. Oh yea, I came out from work and 3 of my 4 doors were frozen shut. Thats just sad.

It could be worse, all 4 doors could have been frozen shut! We got the same thing here last night but the temps were slightly warmer so the rain switched almost directly to snow which made everything slushy. Of course then it froze overnight which was fun this morning.

We've had winter for at least a week now. I was home last weekend and there was about 4 in of show that weekend and we got like 4-6 in last night here in Grand Forks. -11 w/ windchill today BRING IT ON, NATURE!!! sorry, winter is my fav season.

I just gotta get used to this below zero windchill again, burrr!!!

It isnt supposed to snow for another week or two so im at least happy for that...I'm drivin my SVT for another week and then im gonna get my new truck insured that i just bought as my winter car! Pick it up friday ! Definately happy the SVT will stay pretty! Sleepin under a cover in my garage! YAY!

Yah, winter is my favorite season too. We got about 4 inches here in Duluth, less if you go by the lake. Parts of Northwest Wisconsin got over a foot. And, oh yeah, wind chills last night of about -15. More snow on Friday too!!

... winter.... my door latch froze... freeking anoying...

mine does that all the time and at college I won't be able to ru the hair dryer and extension cord to unfeeeze it. Anything else that works? amy be that lock de-ice stuff?

I've used that lock de-icer before and it didn't seem to really work. I used it when it was cold but not that cold and it did but last year when it was like -20 for a month it didn't work at all.

Some lithium grease ot to work.
