[TreeGuy]

  My wife went to Alden high school, & my son-in -law is a teacher there now. Did any of you know the Savage family, Parry family on Blossom Lea  or the Gillmore's on 4 rod & Blossom Lea?

I think I remember their pizza being really good also. I was always a fan of onion and sausage.

[Moho81]

Yeah, I only get pizza, wings and subs on occasion but have never been let down.

I sent you a PM, my wife is from Alden I've only lived there for 3 years now so I don't know everyone like she does. 

[TreeGuy]

First off, Carbone's holds the pizza title in these parts. No contest anywhere close.

Best part of moving back to Alden was Carbone's. I also recommend the steak and bacon sub....

I graduated with a savage. Also know of the gillmores. They are basically my neighbors.

This thread title should be changed to the Alden Reunion Thread.

And I’m just trying to pair the screen names with the people I drive home next to. Haha. I grew up on the other side of town closer to the Darien line and am guessing I’m older than you guys. Love in Bennington now... where the roads are never maintained.

Well lets bring this topic back around full circle. Last night and this morning had to be some of the worst road conditions I've driven on in recent memory. Not a lot of snow but man was everything slick. 

[mlammerhirt]

Had to take a ride to Jamestown last night.....holy crap once I hit cassadaga the show was pilied high....roads were pretty good, but the blowing snow sucked. It is snowmobile heaven down that way!

This morning I was driving on the 190 towards downtown and lost control of my vehicle. I started fishtailing and ended up doing a 180 on the far left left into the adjacent lane. Fortunately, the road was not crowded and people were going slow. I came to a complete stop without hitting anything, and was able to just turn around and start driving again. I was lucky. Although there was little official accumulation, it was really slippery out there today with poor visibility from the blowing wind.

Now I am reading about the pileup on the 90 East of Transit. Bad news. link

4/all wheel drive?

what kind of snow tires you use?

Older Honda SUV with all wheel drive with goodyear assurance cs tripletred all-season tires. I guess I was just going a little too fast for the weather conditions.

[The_Field_Ager]

Yeah, I live in Ski country. Tried to get away with all-weather tires one year. Car was very difficult to handle. High grip snow tires basically turn my All wheel drive car into a different vehicle as far as handling goes. Pragmatically I just go straight for the dedicated snow tire these days.
