Glad somebody is actually enjoying the winter weather already I can wait a few more weeks before it hits the Ohio/Michigan area. Actually I can wait even longer if mother nature feels she's not ready yet

We had our first snowfall in Winnipeg over the weekend. Got to test out the AWD. Forgot how much I missed my 4x4, lol.

WOW! look at all that snow. hey do you use studded tires? I think I've seen a thread where you had tire chains on your car.We dont get nearly that much snow in NY but theres times when we get decent storms, I'll have to get out and kick the snow off the car because it'll get stuck in the wheel well and cause the steering wheel to vibrate.

Wow, haven't seen tire chains on a car since I was a wee lad!No snow yet here, but I'm sure it won't be long. Was pretty close to 50 degrees here today with a drizzly rain.

Just because I'm born here doesn't mean I have to like winter! We still have no snow and I would LOVE to keep it that way all winter. Apparently 10cm on the way on Friday though.

Oy, the pics give me flashbacks of all the snow we had to deal with down here last year...We just got our first snow fall of the season today, although it didn't really stick to the ground (thank goodness!).
