And yes, on place can have a pile of snow and someplace 10 minutes away. I see it all the time on my 2 hour commute smack between all the Great Lakes.


What he said...I live on a peninsula that juts out into one of those lakes. I've seen it snow here at the rate of 1 foot per hour (sometimes more), while people just 10-15 minutes north only get a few inches total. Wind plays a big part too. 1 foot of snow can easily make for 3-4 foot snow drifts in very little time.
I have been pleasantly surprised a few times by just how good this car is in the snow with the right tires.
