Ottawa is supposed to get a major dump .. hope not but really we are Canadians and this is pretty normal for us. Here in Edmonton .. no snow in the forecast that I know of.

Thank you, winter tires are Dunlop SP Winter Sport M3 - 205/50R15 (supre quiet and awesome performace) up to 39-40 MPG in winter after the math due to tire size is smaller in diameter.

This are the General Exclaim when new! my Summer Tire 195/50/16 (nice tire very smooth and good grip) up to 42-44 MPG in summer

And after 55,000 miles on the General Exclaim!

If we are lucky it will only be -28 C. They are predicting the temps to drop starting tonight. We almost never get below -40C (-40F) with wind chills, unless you are at the airport. They get much colder than in the city where -40 + C has been reached.

Nope ... windchill is extra. I hope we don't get much of that. Usually we don't get that much as far as wind compared to the southern part of the province.

From Wikipedia: The lowest temperature ever recorded at City Centre Airport (Downtown Edmonton) was −40.6 °C (−41.1 °F) on January 26, 1972. While the The Edmonton International Airport saw a record low of -46.1 C (-51F) and -58.4 C (-73 F) with the windchill, outfreezing even the Arctic. This was recorded in 2009. I am just happy I don't work there .. as I know the ramp agents there regularly freeze their butts off.

New Nordfrost 5's installed on the front - had them on the rear from last year already.
Can't wait to get into some deep snow with them :D

Nice tires . Can't use studs . Leave the paved driveway marred . Did use the Cooper Weather Master ST-2s' with studs before getting the drive done . Miss the studs on ice . Could get over 38 m.p.g. with the ST-2s' . Few years ago I pulled all the studs out of all 4 of the ST-2s' with pliers and a small flat screwdriver . Took over 4 hours . They still did well in the snow for 1 season .

Gaining on JAYEH . Not in the mood for shovelin' again .

The snow finally stopped. The Corolla felt like driving a tank with all the snow on it.

Bluevitz-rs · 12-23-2012, 06:19 PM

That's a lot of snow! Only have a dusting here.

edmscan · 12-23-2012, 06:55 PM

Here is the snow we have today here in Edmonton. Sorry it is not a Yaris .. but thought this would get the point across.

Done. It annoys me that imgur will recompress but not resize automatically.

Here are mine....Firestone WinterForce in a 185/60/15, mounted on 2 stock steelies. Less than 100 miles on them and are in new condition. $250 invested....and I'm letting them go for a mere $100. *Shamless sales plug over*
