Ok lets say for some reason its snowing in Australia and you're taking your Soarer out for a drive in the beautiful snow just after getting a brand new paint job. Imagine the first car is you and your soarer...

Must have been a flash storm, otherwise Im sure they would have been prepared.

I dont think it was a flash storm, the weather can get pretty bad in Portland. The last person obviously had snowtyres as he/she went round that corner with no troubles.

Watching it tho.... gave me a whole new perspective on "drifting" :-)

I've seen something similar in my home town. You basically get a bit of light rain in the morning when the ground is still VERY cold after the frost of the night. In rare occations it will start to freeze again.

You have problems just standing up and if you're on a slope you just move with it (even on foot).

I once had to drop to my hands and knees to avoid sliding into the traffic. Scary.

Oh man that's hilarious. Sorry I'm sure it would have been scary at the time, but I get really amusing mental pictures.

Ive seen similar in my old home town of Clunes. The trees and grass would freeze, as rain form earlier would freeze in the arvo. The ground became slick like oil. Was like Benny described, you couldnt walk.

Hahaha I know what you mean Baggs. I live at the bottom of a big hill. Going up the hill is the only way to get out of the subdivision.

I get a few 'extra' days off work in the winter.
