One of THOSE days! Winter is here!

My daily driver is a 97GT coupe.
People ask me why I drive a Mustang when winters can be so awful. My standard reply is that there are only four or five days a year that I regret not having something all wheel drive, or at least FWD.
I work night shift. Got off at 630 this morning and greeted by wind, blowing snow, and ice.
Usual 15-20 minute drive home took over an hour.
Almost every stop sign and stop light, the car wanted to keep going or slid sideways. At least I'm going against most morning traffic and don't have to go in the interstates.
More snow projected over next two days.
I'm afraid I'm going to get at least 2-3 of THOSE days in real early this year.

That means we will likely get the crap in a few days here in SW Ontario.

I am still riding my bike to work each day with a goal of getting into January. Friggin cold in the morning coming in though.
 
I thought I would grow out of "driving the snow being fun" stage but every time the roads are covered, I drive around with a big smile...... We've got a light coating here in NY but nothing on the roads yet...... :po
 
We are supposed to get "hammered" with snow tomorrow, I'll believe it when it shows up. Sadly, I'll have to drive through it to catch a flight Wed morning to El Paso.
 
Here's our forecast for Tuesday night.

Low: 25 °F RealFeel®: 4 °F
Blizzard conditions with strong winds, low visibility and heavy snow, accumulating 6-10"

Wednesday another 1-3 inches.

Just another winter day in the frozen tundra! Glad I have a Jeep this time of year.

I moved from the coast of SC (3 days below 32 in 5 years) to Rhode Island. In December. First thing out of everyones mouth was the need for me to buy a FWD car. I was driving a Volvo 940 at the time - RWD turbo 4 cyl. It had a pretty tight limited slip in it. I drove past quite a few FWD cars in the ditch, never once had a problem.

They also told me that they only got a couple of good snowfalls each year. It snowed 111" inches that year, last snowfall was first of May. Lying bastards.
 
The sierras are being dumped on today big time. :pbj :pbj
Great news for us who only visit snow for skiing. :pep :pep
 
we rarely get snow in KY, but we do get freezing rain and ice! I'm in St Paul MN until Wednesday and then Driving to Ft Atkinson Wisconsin. They are supposed to get "blizzard" conditions. I have an HHR rental car, should be fun!
 
Started snowing in the south this AM, Joyce and it is still snowing. Usually it snows at night and is gone by noon.

We had a low of 39 a couple nights ago.....and I am still wearing shorts and light weight shirts......and WTH is that snow stuff? :lol
 
We RARELY get snow, maybe once a year. Anything coming usually turns to rain, then back to snow once it gets out a bit from Memphis.

Not sure what our low has been, maybe in the 40's. But I have to agree with is this snow stuff that everyone keeps posting about. What is it? :wm? OK so it did rain today with a high in the 50's. :shy fd
 
Looks something like this but its useless unless its piling up by the foot!
