If an old white guy who clothes himself entirely in denim can do it so can you.

Because sliding around in the snow is a sheetload of fun. It's a totally different drifting experience than drifting in the dry. Don't get me wrong, drifting on dry pavement is fun too... but it is just so much easier to break traction and slide around when there is snow on the ground. Seriously, you should try it.

there are plows running constantly so the roads are driveable. and most of the major parking lots have already been plowed once already so the accumulation on them is enough to have fun and not get stuck in.

ya good call. I thought I would've beat the traffic, but boy was I wrong. On a side note, I saw like 3 genesis coupes, a couple g35's and g37s, and rwd bmw's stuck in the LIE. Best of luck to those guys, but my brz was a champ compared to those guys.
