oswego ftl...i had like a half dozen incedents last year in my car. I slid sideways down a hill, through an intersection, and into a snowbank one day.

the next day, couldnt stop at a stopsign with cars infront of me, so i slid over the curb, between a sign and a pole (breaking part of my bumper on the snowbank) over the sidewalk, and then finally stopped. luckily nothing really happened.

on the way home, the hwy is 3 lanes, and the right 2 were plowed during this like blizzard of a snowstorm. There were some semi's doing like 15mph in the right lane, and i was doing maybe 20 in the middle. as we crested a hill, the truck next to me just jackknifed and the rear wheels came towards me, so I moved towards the left (unplowed) lane, caught the berm of snow, spun a full 180 (now sliding backwards down the hill next to an out of control semi). The girls i was driving home are screaming, and the semi jackknifes back towards me and the wheel comes right up to my window, taps the car ever so slightly (like a 1inch long black mark on my door) and then he got control and got out of my way. Everyone behind us was watching and stopped so they didnt do it to, so i kinda spun back around and went to the nearest rest stop to change my pants.

then closer to home on long island, some dick was on his cell in a honda fit and caught the snow bank between the left lane and HOV lane. The car behind him merged right, and i was behind that guy, boxed in with a spinning fit behind me. I had to accelerate past an ass in the HOV lane, over the snow bank he just spun out in, making my car slide all over the damn place again with girls screaming, we were both like 90 degrees sideways to the hgihway as we slid past bumper to bumper with an inch to spare, and then i ended up back in the left lane like nothing happened and he got hit basically head on by a volvo

surprisingly enough, here in buffalo we havent really had any snow yet. But most memorable-- October storm 2006

Its like 6PM on thursday and it starts snowing like a mofo, but is october 12th, which is completely fucked. Now i have my van completely loaded up to head to louisville for DB drag finals. I leave my house at 2:30AM friday, i am running over some braches (maybe 4-5 inch limbs) had to drive up on lawns to go around arcing power lines, took me about an hour to get to the thruway which usually takes about 15 minutes. The thruway was completely shut down so i got off (after driving a mile on the shoulder) and when i came to the light at the end on the exit ramp, i get stuck. Some people at the light helped push me free, they called me a dumbass for having 38 batteries and bald tires. finally got free from that and made it another 40-50 feet and got stuck again. I sat there for asbout 3 hours before a UPS payloader cleard the street so they could get there trucks back to the warehouse. By the time i got out of NY, it was about 8:30. what a cluster fuck that was.

Another good one, I held a 3X last March--Xtreme Audio Thunder. It was in the mid to upper 50's all week. On friday the weather channel informed there was a major Lake Effect storm coming into NY. The entire NYS thruway was closed from the PA border to the Canadian border. The was a driving ban on all city streets, yet 23 cars showed up for it, plus vendors and spectators. In all between friday night and sunday morning we got just over 32 inches of snow. Mad props went out to the guys that came up with the storm through Ohio ann Pa.
