Too Cold, **** Chicago Suburbs.

Pfffft, all you really need is a good set of snow tires. I drove a GT Mustang year round, even during the snow storms that lasted 3 days.

I know what you guys mean... I drove a front wheel drive Grand Am through several nasty snow storms over the 4 years I had it... It is certainly doable if you know wtf you are doing, but you cannot deny AWD is much better in snow. There is no stopping you with AWD, where as in my Grand Am I remember getting stuck or partially stuck and having to rock out of it.

I really wouldn't know so ill take your word for it.

Agree that awd cars are more likely in ditches since people think awd means snow is not an issue?

Elgin? Dude you've got some great Mexican restaurants there. El Farro. Hell half of Elgin is Mexican

You also have Delicia Tropical, an awesome Puerto Rican restaurant with great mofongo

For great sushi, you've got swordfish in Batavia. For thai, there's vino Thai in st Charles and Bangkok in Geneva.

For Mexican, you've got three great places all a few blocks away in Geneva - Bien Trucha, Altiro and El Molcajete

For hearty soups and shit you've got Town House Books in st Charles

It's there if you want it!

Delicia Tropical is average and overpriced, much better PR cuisine can be had in the Humboldt park area for less $$.

I am hoping we get to go home early...well over 14 inches of snow so far downtown. I want to play in it.

Lol brett you sound like my co-worker now.... for some reason he continues to want to debate me on having an AWD vehicle as though somehow you could prove it leaves you worse off than with a front wheel drive.

And yeah, I don't doubt lots of fucktards drive like AWD nullifies snow and it does not, but having driven both in heavy snow I can say AWD >>>>> FWD in the snow. Not to mention my truck is heavier and cuts through the snow better. You still must drive slow and safe like anyone else, but its much easier to do so in an AWD vehicle in my experience.

Lol idk what the deal is with my co-worker but he seems to think me saying "Man I really like my AWD in this weather it makes driving easier" equates exactly to "HAHAHA DUDE MY BIG TRUCK PWNS YOUR LITTLE CAR AND YOUR CAR SUCKZZZZ BALLZZZZZ HAHAHAH"

One thing ya have to remember about 4WD or AWD vehicles...You can go faster in the snow, but ya cant stop any faster..lol

You people are insane for voluntarily residing here:

I won't even bother with the forecast this time.

Have fun, I'm outta here to Islamorada.

Me and the girlfriend are getting pretty sick of Albuquerque. The high was 57 today and I'm not complaining about that at all. But we kind of hate our jobs and we both work for the best company in our field in NM, so there is nowhere else to go but to another state. Have been talking about Denver for a while now. As for the midwest, every time I see sub-zero highs forecast in Minneapolis I think of my ex and smile.

Probably gonna have to be outside a bit on Monday. Oughta be fun.

I think it's time to simply shut down the city until Wednesday, call it an extended holiday.

Have a good time dude. Planning on hitting the keys myself in a few months. Not sure what it's like down there right now, but probably beautiful. In the low 80's here today.

Now if only I could get out of here, may wind-up driving it.

Which would be very appropriate considering I still have FL tags. Someone asked me the other day at a gas station if I had taken a wrong turn.

My response, nope...just dumb enough to have come back to IL. while snowbirds are long gone.

 

[nvanprooyen]

Lol. There is no turning back for me man. It would be soul crushing.

Just checked the forecast for Islamorada.

Tomorrow's high temp...59.

Nobody is escaping this winter.

Ya - Today is nice, but a big cold front coming through tonight. Low is supposed to be around 30. But back up to the high 70's by the end of the week
