Snow Driving...Who's done it so far?

We got a few inches here about a month ago and I was able to make the 15 or so mile trip home from work. I wouldn't recommend it though. What's even more alarming is the sound of the 19's kicking up salt into the wheel wells, lol.

this car is great in the snow with the proper tires. I slapped a set of blizzak LM60s on and have driven several days in snow covered roads here in KC. This thing gets around like a tank with the right shoes.

The only time I couldn't drive the car this winter is when we got a foot of snow a couple weeks ago.. ground clearance is a problem obviously. But anything up to 3-4 inches is a breeze. I would rather be driving this car with snow tires in those conditions than a front wheel drive car with all seasons. It's that good.
