How much shoveling did you do to get it out of there?

^ Nice shot.

Can't top that, because it's totally covered. We got 2 feet of snow in Philly that weekend before Christmas.

I have been having a blast driving around the City Called Winnipeg,Manitoba Canada up here it is simply known as Winterpeg. Watching all the other cars do the spin and slide show starting and stopping for all the lights now makes me laugh like crazy as I drive off like it was summer LOL!

Drove my RA last winter with the summers on, thought it was pretty fun, but still slid around like crazy. I put a set of Toyo Observe G02 Plus winter tires on this time around and was absolutely amazed at how how it drives in the snow. Winter tires make all the difference.

I've got on Michelin X-ice Xi2, not the best but decent. Tirerack did a test of three tires, Continental Extreme Winter Contact seem to be the best overall, but Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 are the benchmark for winter tires.

Driving home from the mountains last night was no problem with the snow covered inclined and curvy roads. I could easy pass people as if they were standing still and take on the posted speed limits without a problem.

The biggest problem with the snow tires is the RA needs better fog lights to take advantage of the better traction when the snow is coming down.

That looks like a ton of fun. Last winter was great for that kind of shenanigans. The RA sure is one hell of a snow machine. Sadly, winter decided to skip Cincinnati this year.
