I'm actually looking forward to some snow, not too much, but this is my first fwd and I wanna see the difference between front and rear wheel in the snow.

In a front wheel drive vehicle, you wheels start spinnin, the car goes straight. In a rear wheel drive vehicle, your back end becomes your front in a matter of seconds.Inder

I had to pick up da-wife at airport in Milwaukee when the storm was starting. I got there (1hr 50min from Appleton )only to find out that her flight was cancelled! The only cancelled flight on the board of course. Then I was told that she was in Chi-town. and wont be fliying in for 10 hours so I setteled in for a night at the terminal. Then She finally calls me and says she's in Dallas, TX! so I drove to my parents house in Plymouth for the night. Next morning my car looks just like yours except for the 2ft snowbank around it. The roads were much worse the second time going to the airport along I-43 which has the lake effect the whole way down. The second trip was half the distance but twice the time. It was worth it to see my honey-buns again, though.

Tell me you got in and just drove so the wind would blow off all the snow! That is the best and safest method, the "sight port hole method". No scrapper required!!
