Cheers guys, can’t beat unburdening yourself to some folks you know through a shared love of trousers and shirts

Do you guys use all weather tires or do you change to a spiked set in winter?

I use all weather, as do most people here. But i'm sure some switch to the spiked variety. The sad part is, it's supposed to warm up by the end of the week so all this snow will melt. Definitely gonna be shoveling around my car just to pull out into the street

I'd give my right arm for some snow. We've had a high pressure front from the east the last two weeks which at this time of year means an air temp of -11C, high winds that drop the effective temp to below -20C and in addition blows all the snow away leaving bare ice everywhere. On the plus side the sun turned up today, for 30 minutes, then it fucked off again ::)

We ended up with 12" last night. Just finished shoveling snow out from around and underneath my car so I can pull out into the street without issue. Parking rules in effect which means I will remain firmly planted until morning.

^i recently saw a couple of cold start videos in -30C countries. never knew it was such a trouble in winter.. never had that issue when i was in hokkaido with a rental in winter. but when i searched up on it, i'd assume parking underground helps..

How cold does Hokkaido get? I used to live in northern Honshu (where my mom is from) and it wasn't too bad, but she was on the Pacific side. The Sea of Japan side gets a shit ton of snow though.

The problem with where I live is that while I’m a long way north, I’m also on the coast. That means cold high pressure from the east and milder low pressure from the Atlantic. The latter tends to bring arctic storms (whiteout blizzards), and snow, but also rain and wind. Then that can change over night to -10C and clear skies, so all the wet stuff from the turns to ice. Next comes snow up on the ice, then maybe a long mild patch where everything softens up for a week. Add to that salting, micro-climate variations because of peaks, valleys and fjords and you get an extremely choatic set of conditions that can change from day to day, or even kilometer to kilometer. I can drive the 12km from where I live in the burbs to the centre of town and experience bare roads, smooth hard ice, black ice and five different types of snow.
The worst thing is all the bloody scraping of ice from windows, condensation in the car and digging it out of the snow. It can also last from November to May. In fact, fukkit, I’m moving… [emoji1]

Snow and ice are a pain but the truth is, I love it. It also means I can wear my uhf's more often.

apparently not as cold or as high up north i thought it would've been. the current temps are about -8 and i was mistaken that hokkaido was high up north that the likes or norway and such, but i was wrong. i'd just assumed since it snowed it must have been..

I was chatting with a girl I know about hygiene (brushing & bathing) when she proceeds to tell me that after a few days she gets ripe armpit BO. She then told me her boyfriend doesn't get BO but his feet stink really bad ??? At that point I had to stop the conversation because I didn't want to know anything more about the gruesome twosome and their complete lack of hygiene. barf
