Major snow in NC - Toyota Yaris Forums

bear4 · 12-19-2009, 12:52 PM

We are currently on vacation in NC and man there was a lot of snow last night! The entire city came to a stand still! I had to put my snow chains on just to get uphill to our cabin. Barely made it even with the chains!

yea i saw that on the news. was hoping for it to hit middle tn but it didn't.

It got here in East Tennessee. I had to wait on a fool in front of me that tried to power slowly up the big hill in our neighborhood and back down, twice. If I'd been able to gather speed up the whole street I'd've cruised over, but by the time I could get around him I made it ALMOST to the top. I got the rest of the way over with lots of sawing the steering wheel back and forth and spinning the tires, which I hated to do.

Where is the major snow? I don't see it.

We wisconsites deal with REAL snow

Getting 15" of snow tonight in my area. That pesky global warming is getting us again. And it's not even winter yet (technically).

Good thing for "global warming". Without it, we'd be buried in 10 feet of snow!!

Yea I live in western NC and this was the first snow for my yaris and was very happy with the performance. This was taken Friday morning

devinlamothe · 12-20-2009, 09:04 AM

Man you guys are wimps. Come up to the TRUE north. 15"?? PAH. lol

YarTrek · 12-21-2009, 01:58 AM

Got 21" lucky inches of snow here in Northern Virginia. 5-spd. Hatch did surprisingly well on the snow covered roads! Even with the crappy Goodyear Eagle hard rubber tires! Surprising ground clearance and snow plowing capabilities!

upgradedyaris · 12-21-2009, 05:23 AM

Those are some craps chains, sorry but seriously. They make much better ones than that. They are basically a wire you have, where is the actual "chain" on them? ;)

28 inches in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia. I left the Yaris in the driveway and used the Subaru Baja. But the Yaris was freed this morning and did great but the road were in pretty good shape.

From this storm we had 24.5 inches of snow up here in southern New Jersey. I took the yaris out for a test drive in the snow, and I was surprised on how well it handled for being such a small car.
