ICE. EVERYWHERE. All down 123! It's FREEZING, and I freakin' love my car! It'll do 70mph no problem around curves on sheet ice. A little sideways, but that never hurt anyone! It was funny to see the reactions to people with all wheel drive vehicles as I blew their doors off with snow a-flyin'!

So true. When we had our big snow here back in Dec., people 5 miles away in their all wheel drives/four wheel drives couldn't make it in to work, and I was there, driving 30+ miles, in my Fester.
Just started snowing here, guess we'll have to wait and see how much we get this time. Weather service said flurries. Ha.

we've got like 8" or so so far... I put chains on my 13' snow tires and made it up our steep gravel hill no problems! But then the chains started to fall apart ;( so i had to take them off. the rest of my trip wasn't too bad though, till I got to my friends house and the last two little roads weren't plowed at all... even with my coilovers raised all the way I was pushing snow with my bumper!~Nate

Yeah, woke up to a winter wonderland here in my part of Virginia too and the snow is still coming down. I'd say we have about 6-8 inches so far. Heaviest snowfall I've ever seen since moving here about 6 years ago. It's quite beautiful, but I'm glad I don't have to be out driving in it!Originally posted by skeeters_keeper View Post

You live in Ontario -- you probably have a foot of snow on the ground all the time! Of course, you'd drive in it. You have to understand where I live they close the schools and shut down all businesses when we get a dusting of snow. It's not my driving I'm worried about -- it's all the others!Originally posted by Damkid View PostPat

I got drunk last night at the swingers bar I work at..so I left the Festiva on the steet and rode home with my girlfriend....well needless to say when I got a ride back to it it was completely buried under a snowbank where the snowplows had pushed snow up over it all night...I got in passengers side...slide across..fired her up..and pulled right out of the snowbank..I have long known that skinny tires go well in snow
It's faster than my Volkswagen

ironic
In Toronto, its cold but we have barely had any snow this winter (not enough to shovel, just sweep with a broom). I have never seen anything this wierd in all my life. Looks like you got what we normally get. We are saving a lot of money on not having to plow, salt or remove any snow. We have a whole fleet of some of the best plows and metromelts ready to roll. Good luck digging out. Downside, cars are speeding because the roads are bare and dry. Fourteen pedestrians have been killed in the last couple of months.Comment

Around here the snow is starting to melt, been getting up to the 40's and fills nice outside.'90 LXComment
