I had a layer of frost on my maxima that was sitting out last night. No snow here yet but it's looming.

However, as sad as I am to garage the Z, I'm just as happy for SNOWBOARDING SEASON!

Got a set of base wheels with BLizzaks for the winter. Works a treat. Yes, you can easily pop the rear end loose with power, but the sport package LSD is actually useful in winter driving. I'd NEVER use the stock sport tires in the winter. Even in colder weather the tires lose their stick as the tread gets hard. I nearly spun mine first year I owned it at 30 degrees F coming aggressively through a roundabout on dry pavement -- a turn I regularly take for granted. It's not just the tread pattern, but the tread compound that makes winter tires a necessity here in the Northeast USA.

Hope this helps...

We're expecting snow tonight here above 53 degrees N Lat.
