Um, no. That's a crash. -5 points.

Oh, Portland is getting a few inches of snow so we were all sent home. Roads were all wet. Temp is still a little above freezing. Treacherous conditions. Did not crash.

Lol you get sent home for snow? My company was open for business when Hurricane Sandy hit. I was at work in a hurricane.

The underside of the car should be really, really clean now though.


Good job, but you might want to hit the underside with a clean water rinse, the last thing you need is salinated puddle solution getting into your twin's nooks and crannies.

The amount of water that washed across the road likely left very little salt. I just spent the last three months dragging my car through slush that was probably about 60% salt anyway so even slightly salinated water is about 100 steps up. It get's washed with and under spay weekly anyway.

It's complicated but people are determined to not repeat the mistakes of last year's snowmageddon. This year Portland started judiciously applying rock salt in trouble areas.

This was not only better it was spectacular. And that was cold so no doubt it was even more so when hot and fresh.


This is the stuff right here (although it could also be the bucket that Ultra forgot about in the hotel fridge).
