Nice winter shoes, but kind of short on ground clearance. Still drive when possible!

We have about six inch's here in Minnesota and I am taking mine out Saturday. I have a second set of wheels with Blizzak’s. It’s like a little Panzer.

Nice to meet you neighbor!

In this area when it snow's we like to find hills and watch drivers negotiate them. Today we saw about 6 cars get fairly bent up and sadly one was a Porsche Cayenne S. The drivers side took a couple hits, scrapes and bends. I felt sorry for the guy...

It became very icy on the hill later today and cars had plenty of problems. I put 4 chains on the suburban and helped a few of them out with another guy in a jeep

LOL!! True.

I figured with all of the water in some of the leather cleaners out there 2 or 3 minutes of snow wouldn't hurt.

Who needs awd or a C4 when you've got a 911?

Post up your favorite snow vids!
