We have had a few gentle little flecks of snow falling since 12:30 up here. That is nothing to worry about but we are expecting more heavy stuff by 4pm-5pm. The forecast looks worse for the midlands and south than it does for up here.

It was very sharp stuff. It was stinging my face like needles or sharp insect bites when I was walking Billy about 5pm. It was ice to start with and it has all fused together into a rock hard solid coating over everything.

It ran fairly hard and I don't think it disgraced itself, consistent 14.1 @ 103 mph, the complete lack of traction really hurt the 60' times, nearly 3 seconds no matter how carefully I tried to drive off the line it just smoked right thru 1st and most of 2nd![]()
When it did hook up however it pulled really strong, I'm pretty certain that some slicks and dropping the exhaust will get me low 13's, not bad considering 3.23 gearing and an all iron motor I guess.
Despite me saying I wasn't interested in going that route I had so much fun I can't resist it![]()
