I spun donuts in a parking lot today, so the rims packed up with snow. I thought it looked kinda neat.

I also cleaned the sensor.

Chains

F8, 2.5 seconds
Murray, UT

One of the cables that goes across the tread on my snow chains snapped about 5 minutes into the drive over the pass yesterday. This resulted in the hanging part of it, beating the underside of the car for a few very slow miles until I could find someone with bolt cutters to cut of the other side. It also made the chains too loose, even after I tightened them as much as they'd go, so we had to go about 20mph until the end of the chain restrictions.

I want an AWD car very badly.

My one complaint about the Sigma 50mm is that it doesn't focus close enough. I used a Cokin +3 macro filter to get this shot.

It snowed this morning which caused a lot more people to ride trax than normal, but then they sent a train with only 1 car instead of the normal 3 cars. Most of the people from each stop couldn't get on the train because of how packed it was.
