That’s ridiculous, I had no idea it was that bad in some areas… I woke up at 5:30 so I missed just about all of it, although I just went out for a haricut and groceries and it was just a little blaze of snow if anything coming down. Just a little on my car too but I used the scraper to clear the windors. Are you driving a blue Zenki in the video? And having winter-driven my Zenki with worn all-seasons and then 245 summer Bridgestones, I know what that must have been like. Sliding when you’re not even trying to lol. So fun though. ---

Yeah I bet, except they’ve been dumping heaps of sand and salt allover the roads again. Looks like she’s sidelined until we get some serious rain. ---

weaksauce believe me, I have driven my/a 240 for the past 9 winters, that was soft. 2002 detroit autoshow, the return trip took 3 hours in what was at least 12’ of snow in a vacant(everyone was in lane 1 or 3) centre lane, passing everyone else who is doing 30km/h in th outside lanes, people would pull out but without momentum, toyo oboserve GO-2, or hicas, SUV,s 4x4’s, police, tractor trailers, no one could cut into the ruts. after an hour the headlights had more than 1’ of snow and were useless. windsheild wipers died earlier in the week, 2 passengers, 1 operating the snow brush out of the window. 3 hours passing people standing still in a real blizzard at 100+km/h ---
