No snow here just cold (for my area) but we got about 3-4 inches last week. And exactly this time last year we got about 8 inches. We were paralyzed for a whole week :) ... Highly unusual for East TN for sure...

HARDCORE MAN!!! That would be a fun drift setup! Be safe out there
Oh yeah, I’ve been driving in this stuff for a long time, as I’m sure many others here have been. Learned to drive in a big ole 1988 station wagon in the snow. Empty parking lots after a fresh snow are loads of fun. But always safety first, no other cars or people around and no big light poles. And sometimes the Blizzaks are too good and grab the pavement too soon and ruin some of the fun šŸ˜‚

Interstates are still shut down. Took an hour to carefully remove the 6+ inches of snow from the Mustangs. The intensity of the snow Tuesday is probably what I'll remember most, going out to take pictures the flakes actually stung when they hit your face.

Houston is back to normal it seems. Drove in to the office this morning and it was like any other Thursday. Hopefully this stuff melts quickly for the rest of y'all.

I’m on Long Island, NY and always wondered how anybody that lives north of here can even handle it 🄶

It’s kind of like the LIE at rush hour. You get used to it. šŸ¤­šŸ‘

I honestly loved dailying my manual 2016 GT/CS convertible back in Colorado winters. It was a lot of fun and the heavy convertible roof really added nice traction to the Pirelli Sottozero 3 snow tires I used. I never had any issue with it. Then again, it was Colorado so the snow/ice would melt pretty fast unlike the northern states.

Now I live in Arizona so snow isn't really a concern but I did enjoy a good drive in the white stuff! A strong pull in 2nd gear with a little scootty scooty on ice always was a thrill. I never put the top down when it was snowing though...

Nice temp top down in snow covered mountains is priceless. This is a great winter car when no deep snow.

Turbos love the cold air so much I'm getting 16 mpg around town.
