a couple things before you check out the vid
1. at about 50 seconds i turn right. theres about a foot of snow in the turn lane...i slide thru it, but my wheel is cut so much that when i get traction again i almost bit it into the snow bank
2. the street i turn onto (regent street) is a giant hill, im not sure you can tell in the video, but i dont get to the top of it till about 2:07 and at that its, really just a flat part....cus its a hill all the way to work
3. being that my the end of my trip to work is a giant hill, im not about to stop for yellows....i wont be able to get going again despite having snow tires...its just that bad out today...
4. i was going to do an ebrake turn in the parking lot (as i often do when the parking lot is snowy and barren in the morning) but at the last minute realized the plows had, for some insane reason, left a big snow bank in what would have been my path. you can see the glint of white at about 3:32 as i make a quick left turn, lol
5. im in the aveo
enjoy!
