Same here...sort of. I'm a fair bit East of you, so the drive in was not too bad. The drive home on the other hand, had me in about 10-12" of the crap in places. Got home safely (albeit rather slowly).

I love my Blizzaks. Yeah, they squirm around a bit on dry pavement, but I'll trade that in a heartbeat for the way they grip on days like today. Awesome tire!

I'm glad that you have found a positive to help balance the negatives that you have had.

The FR-S did quite well here in 'Scarberia' too. I parked in a freshly cleared spot just before 8am and this is what i found at 5pm when leaving work:

It's a chilly day here, like 71ºF. What's this white stuff covering your cars you people keep posting pictures of? Lol

I've never had to drive in any kind of snow. Part of me thinks it'd be awesome, the other knows it'd get old after a couple hours. Forget about that having to change tires with the seasons stuff!
