i'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, and if they did, can you mods please merge this thread if possible? :confused:

starting off with things...
i took these two pictures with my camera phone :D:D

Element in the parking lot.

I just noticed the sticker on my trailer and thought it was fitting.:D
We haven't got much snow yet but it is -10.:sad:

New E in the snow.

The background is Chantry Island in Lake Huron.

Not much snow here.

Here is one of my favorite winter pics.

That's one of my fav's too lizzurd.

Here's a few more.....:D

Lizzurd, that thermometer is not correct, is it?

Here is one from last April 6th at the beginning of the 40" of "fun" that almost killed our snow blower.

What is it with this whackjob Ontario weather?

I mean, Mother Nature dumps on us so we get all stoked. Then she gives us "snow balls" (the winter enthusiast's version of blue balls) by melting most of it the next day :rolleyes:.

Yes jea the thermometer is correct.....that's why we like that pic so much! :D

Can't remember who's E that is but it was either taken in Canada someplace or in Minnesota if my memory is intact. :rolleyes:

Here's a generic "snow" pic ... and a "Christmas" pic.

We really haven't had enough snow yet for a REALLY good snow pic, but - living in Western New York - I'm sure I'll get one eventually.

my boss lives in Lockport around the corner from Buffalo Bobcat. i live in west seneca and work across the street from the airport. drop me a line if you need anything on the E. i'll take a brake from european cars

taken with my phone just a little bit ago.

What I don't understand Lizzurd is how the guy survived getting out of his E to take the picture!! :razz:

I think your E wishes it was back in Ohio in June.... looks cold!

I heave heard stories about the cold up there. The truckers keep the rigs running 24 hours a day so they don't freeze up on them.

I heave heard stories about the cold up there. The truckers keep the rigs running 24 hours a day so they don't freeze up on them.I have heard that as well.

I have friends who live out west in Calgary and they say that -40 out there is very cold but for some reason they say it is a dry cold which doesn't feel near as bad as the "damp" cold here in southern/southwestern Ontario. When it's -15 here they're literally convulsing from shivering so bad yet they'll say how they've run out to get something from their car in shorts, t-shirt and boots out in Calgary when it's -40 there :lol:

Here is a picture of my place up north in wisconsin . The guy I have plow my drive got stuck and was towed out ,but I did not know that.It looked plowed until I got back there and got stuck. Had to have my farmer neighbor use his tractor tow me out ,then use his front end loader finish plowing so I could get back to the house.

Here are a couple of my favorite Snow pics. My E in Maple Ridge BC, and ? in Soda Springs, CA

That second pic is just AWESOME, Jet.

That second pic is just AWESOME, Jet.I was thinking the same thing :shock:.

I found out today that here in Toronto if you have a layer of snow on your roof, you get a ticket if you don't scrape it off before driving your vehicle.

i usually leave it on and spray it on cars following too close to me on the 401 / QEW....great deterrent on tailgaters

Have they TRIED scraping off the top of an Element when it's freezing out and you can barely reach the dang middle with your brush?

:confused:

:confused:I with you on that one but apparently it's something like a $250 fine. A guy in my class was telling me a relative of his was stopped by the police and given a warning for leaving the snow on his roof.

It's like in Quebec where between a certain time frame you MUST have snow tires...and they must have the snowflake in the mountain symbol on the sidewall meaning it is approved for severe snow conditions.

I see their point on both counts from a safety standpoint because I don't know how many times in this last week or so of poop weather I've seen people driving down the road in a car that has obviously been cold started and driven away after only a few minutes of being run because it looks like they scraped nothing more than a tank-slot opening on their window:rolleyes:.

http://www.toyotapartsstore.com/images/28-1218_blue_snowbrush.jpgI was thinking about getting one of them but the store I went to was all sold out of the telescoping ones that have the soft bristles. All the ones on the shelf had the hard plastic brushes and I'm not sanding down my Element in the morning every time it snows :lol:.

That's what I thought at first too, but if you look closer, it looks like a decal of some sort. I can make out skulls, I think.

There was this cool mound of snow in the parking lot at work today which made for a pretty cool backdrop for The Black Box.

It's a little less menacing with the antlers, but, I like it nonetheless.

For those of you that think the weather in Oregon is always mild. This is 12-21-08 in the Salem Oregon. 6 to 8 inches of snow with 1/2 of freezing rain on top of that....YIKES

There was a notice on Oregon DOT, that Portland Metroarea was requiring chains on all vehicles.

In the Seattle area, there were about 4 inches of new snow on top of the old packed stuff. Cars were moving, at least on main streets. Not as cold as the previous morning (which was 7 deg in snow on the Element's roof).

"For those of you that think the weather in Oregon is always mild. This is 12-21-08 in the Salem Oregon. 6 to 8 inches of snow with 1/2 of freezing rain on top of that....YIKES"

Hey Bro, looks like you could get a case of frost bitten mangos if your not careful!!!lol Same deal up here in the "banana belt". The dog just doesn't know what to make of that crunchy layer on top of the snow.lol

Snow last night came with some wind, producing a bit of a cornice on the passenger side:

Don't think he'll mind, this is his E in an ice, sleet, storm.
It was cold, on the way to NH.

So here in western Washington we're not used to this much snow. Everyone is freaking out and driving around at 15 MPH in 4wd with chains on even on dry pavement. We don't even have stud tires on our E and the AWD takes care of us just fine. We easily cruise around at 30 MPH without any slippage.

This is last night.

Then this morning.

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo87/kcvolz1986/1221081040.jpg

We got 11 inches then decided to head for my parents who have a generator. This is from the drive over.

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo87/kcvolz1986/1221081444.jpg

We kinda dug ourselves in turning around like a top. Right up to the axels and the E still pulled out no problem.

http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo87/kcvolz1986/1221081444a.jpg

Nice image paulj, looks great with the sun behind it... maybe the end of the snow for a while? We too are getting what you have been.... ok.... it can stop now:???:

You all suck

enjoy while it lasts...looks like were getting rain soon!

This is what my E looked like after I got out of work on 12/19/08 . My E's first real (other then a dusting) snow cover . Finally got to see how the E handles in snow . Must say I'm impressed with the way it handled in the snow.

Snow, salt and grime...it sure is winter time.

Well, I took the girls out snowtubin today and on the way home I had some fun at the warehousing district lots with the Element. Not alot of snow (some 6-8" drifts) but enough that my old LTX's would have called it quits before we even left the roadway :razz:.

A few more...

Schweet pics! Your E looks like it belongs in the snow! Awesome look with the black rims, I like it.

Thanks man :). I love how it looks and I'm going to keep the blacked-out theme going with it.

Honda has a blowout right now on various older Element accessories and since I get staff pricing (cost + 10%) on anything I buy from work, I was able to pick up an OEM NBP painted rear upper spoiler for $130!!!!!! :shock:. I installed it yesterday and I love how it adds some styling to the back of the E.

To keep the dark theme going, I ordered an SC black "Element" badge today and it should be in tomorrow morning.

All that's left is to install is a set of the black Grillcraft front upper and lower grilles, a set of '07 black-housing headlights and I'll be completely stealth :D

Here's my snow pic from Jan 5th when we had a lot of snow. Talk about a close call!!!!!!!! It wasn't my fault because I was parked. (Not in a very good spot though.)

The only way out was for me to accelerate while these five guys pushed me sideways away from the van. And by gosh, it worked! :D

Nice! Looking at H&A I noticed that you could put a black bumper garnish on the rear: http://www.handa-accessories.com/elementext.html it is quite a way down this page. I did not see the front garnish listed there, but I am sure you can find it. These pure black garnishes came on the 2006 models for sure, but not sure about other years. Should fit, and might help add another level of "stealthiness":cool:

Keep up the good work, it looks great!

Here's mine from a few weeks ago. That much snow fell overnight - between about 11pm and 8am.

(First two as I found it, the last one after some considerable clean-up.) :)

I have to say, I'm so jealous of all these beautiful snow pics. It doesn't snow here in San Antonio.

Really had a hard time deciding between Black and Omni blue. With 5 good months of winter this color hides the grime pretty good.....only a couple weeks old so far tho........great snow ride!

AE, thanks for posting pictures (also of the pups). There can never be too many pictures of the OBP E. Love the color!:)

oh geez not the decal thing again?!

i've been avoiding snow drives this winter..... prob because the moment i drive out onto the main street and i see several cars spun off immediately.... for those outside of toronto, you have to understand we have a lot of newly licsenced drivers in my area trying to act like a snow day is another day of driving in a big city! so not many snow pics around for me.....

I was in the GTA on Friday night til Sat at lunchtime and I stayed at my friend's house who lives on Lauder Ave just off St Clair West and the side streets were a nightmare. One lane plowed out, snow piles higher than the hood on my Element, almost NO parking whatsoever :|

I actually didn't get drunk at all. I had a good buzz (drank about four Smirnoff Ice over the course of 3 hrs) but that was about it. We closed the bar tho and hung out for a few pics with the band and my teacher after.

My grad ceremony for Honda School in on March 27th and I'd like to stay in the GTA for the weekend so maybe we can plan a coffee meet for then.

It doesn't snow much here in Southern Maryland, but it is snowing today.

It's snowing down here in Rockville as well. I'm from Southern Ontario and remember days when you couldn't have exposed skin for more than 10 seconds without getting frost-bite... we still had school. My kids are off today because it's snowing 2-6 inches here in Maryland! My son is playing road hockey in the snow and loving it... I am trying to wiggle out of work to join him soon!

Must be nice to play in the snow, we don't have snow here in San Diego. But we can go to the beach anytime of the year :lol::lol:. However, Julian (elevation approx 5000 ft), a small town about 1 hour east of San Diego, school was cancel yesterday because it was too cold......Pretty sure that kids were very upset about it.

You're on crack! I would give anything to be in San Antonio right now! I love that city!....and the weather!

have to agree.....ur dreaming in the wrong direction.... were heading south to escape the cold and ur thinking otherwise! :lol:

Hab Mobile.... with the artic blasts we have so far this year, i can proudly say i am getting used to the extreme cold.... :grin:

should have pictures in a few days going camping up north in the cascades tomorrow :)

weatherman said it was goin to snow here 2-8 '' of snow we got 1/2 inch ,liar's i want snow'':D

come toronto...we are getting dumped today...... i will let you play the 'snow blower' :evil:

I don't know how it missed STD, but we finally got some- only 4 inches but now we can play! :grin:

It keeps snowing and snowing here. First it sleet and freezing rain and thens it snow, then back to freezing rain, but it's holding steady on snow right now. I got up about 7AM or so and this is what I see!

That was my lazy part, I didn't want to upload the pic to my photobucket account and then resize it, lol.

fine, a XL double double? :D

Today was the first day my E got to play in the snow. The last two days I used my ladies 4WD CRV, but I thought it was now time to initiate the E to inclement conditions. She performed flawlessly! :D

Love the pictures!

It's snowing down here in Rockville as well. I'm from Southern Ontario and remember days when you couldn't have exposed skin for more than 10 seconds without getting frost-bite... we still had school. My kids are off today because it's snowing 2-6 inches here in Maryland! My son is playing road hockey in the snow and loving it... I am trying to wiggle out of work to join him soon!No doubt eh? OMG it's nuts now. Where I live, people start going ape**** when there's 4-6" on the ground and they cry about road conditions. I won't even go into how the cancellations start rolling in when the skies gray over and the white stuff starts coming done heavy :rolleyes:.

Meanwhile, I was in Blue Mtn snowboarding last weekend for my birthday and they have more snow than I've ever seen before in real life in one place. And they just learn to live with it up there. PRetty much everyone up there has snow tires and have one or more of the following:

A) a snowmobile,
B) some sort of AWD vehicle (or a 2WD one with snows)
c) a snowblower
D) a roof rack for skis or snowboards

Drives me nuts when people say to me "OMFG you're going out in this?"

To which I reply "HELL YEAH!!!! I didn't spend $700 on Grabber AT-2's to sit at home and mope" :D

come toronto...we are getting dumped today...... i will let you play the 'snow blower' :evil:I used the blower tonight because I didn't feel like shovelling out the drive. Has about 2" of accum in the drive so I parked on the road and thanks to a thorough cleaning and servicing of the carb on it, "The Big Block"* fired up like a charm for me and made an hour-long shoveling task into a 10-min waltz through the meadow :).


* The snowblower my grandpa bought in the early 80's. Has a 33" wide opening, two-stage auger and impeller, drift cutter and a nice big Tecumseh engine with a muffler that sounds like all the baffles have gone out of it :grin:

pretty soon, you'll be adding Vtec to the snowblower and everytime you use it, you'll yell "VTEC!!!" then fire up the damn thing :lol:

My snowblower is the sound equivalent of a 2004 Cobra with dual Magnaflow exhausts. LOL if I close the choke halfway, then open it and goose the throttle, I can make it snap like a V8 exhaust :D

They sure don't make them like that in that size anymore lemme tell ya.

When that beast of a machine chews through the snowplow mountains at the bottom of the driveway and the side of the road, it does so happily and let's the neighborhood know it too :razz:

OK - so I took my daughter up to Mt. High yesterday for her 8th grade ski trip (think Ditch Day). Here's some photos of the event:

Around noon it started to cloud up a little. It was clear and cold, and pretty windy, when we got there around 08:00. By noon, it started to cloud up a little, and by the time we left around 3, it was snowing at around an inch-an-hour.

Pic of the lodge with the slopes behind around noon:

My E (the Breadabago) out in Tuesday's winter storm:

The Element never ceases to amaze me-- when all the Subie's are slipping about and getting stuck, the Element cruises on through. I never expected that! O.o

Here is a couple of pictures of my new E after I got done plowing through some snow at my mother-in-law's. I took my E up to where the fire pit was and was amazed on how easy I pushed through the snow. I love my new E!!

Since I live in Phoenix, I rarely get to see snow, but I took my E up to Sedona this past weekend to camp and it got to experience snow.

Oak Creek Canyon? Pretty place! We got to go to Sedona for a wedding last October. Nice!

Went up to Sierras past weekend, snow was falling for several days.

valentine's day in the white mountains:cool:

that person reminds me of the white stig from top gear :D

My snow my E has seen. I live about 5 minutes from the beach. Freak day of weather for us. Nothing compared to rest of you but funny to see snow on the beach.

Took these pics this morining and has been snowing all day and still is now!! Awesome!

My Element is lovin" life!!!!!

It is awesome to have a snowfall like that. Don't take this the wrong way but, I just have a hard time looking at bad color correction, part of what I do for a living. Did you ever feel like your E was going to get stuck? Looks like a blast!

Not sure what you mean by color correction? I took these pics in at 6:30 am with a 2.0 megapixel camera. It's a weak camera by today's standards but I found it hiking and it works great for free!! These pics were taken in a parking lot that was plowed earlier in the morning. No chance of getting stuck with the all wheel drive and new BFG Mud Terrains!!

Jude, it loos good to me, keep up da good work,its going to hit 50 here tomorrow no snow...:-(

Here's mine after driving to Hampton and back after we were sent home. My new Winterforces worked great and the E did fantastic in the snow, this was the E's maiden voyage in the snow :)

This was Sunday, March 1st. This weekend is supposed to reach mid to upper 70s here in West Central GA

Well, it's not an E in the snow, but it may be the reason why I am finally able to get an E.

This was at about 7:20PM, about an hour after the rain turned into sleet turned into snow:

OK, seriously, this is in CHARLOTTE!!!!! Six inches of snow in MARCH?!?! I left Florida for this?!?!

Went up to Sierras past weekend, snow was falling for several days.Took these pics this morining and has been snowing all day and still is now!! Awesome!

Pics look like you both had alot of fun :D.

I'd love to play in snow like that with the Element. However, even with the Grabber AT-2's I think snow that deep might find me spinning a bit.

*devilishy starts hunting for wrecked AWD E's on Kijiji* :razz:

Let it snow....

Let it snow....Awesome!!!!!

I wish we had snow like that right now :roll:.
