Hey Nick, you better put some flashing lights on your Vibe for the next few days or you'll be invisible to all other traffic. And to whoever is dreaming of a white christmas, STOP IT!

And to whoever is dreaming of a white christmas, STOP IT!Yeah, you would think so! Almost a perfect blend in with the snow. I would never drive my vehicle covered like that in the first place. I remove ALL the snow before I venture out... I drive with the lights on most of the time during the day as well (thanks for the Auto Lights and DRL), plus I feel I am a very defensive driver, so that is the best that can be done. I have driven other white vehicles before so I know where you are coming from.White is a plus in the summer, stands out.A negative in the winter, blends in.Another foot of snow and the wheels and tires would be covered making it practically invisible.

It was nice to wake up to have a white x-mas. Nick, we received that same storm system with about 3" of snow.

For some reason the snow seems to be avoiding my part of Kansas this year. I'm all ready to blow some christmas cash on snow tires, carpet protectors, ice scrapers and such, but have no good excuse yet. Dang it!So those of you with snow, enjoy it. It won't be long til spring arrives, and the "have you done it in your Vibe" thread revives. I can wait. KSNptune

Hey Nick, there's more snow at your location then up north, in Montreal. Here, we still see the grass.

Nice pics Nick!I was hoping for a pic like yours but my signature shows the most snow my Vibe has seen this year. There is snow in the country but the lake effect turns it to rain this year in the city. Too warm, it just isn't right. The one safety advantage to two tone seems to be visibility in a snow storm.

Thats true, I would have thought the city (Montreal) would have been paralized by now!

I made the trek from New York to Philly Christmas Day! What is normally a two hour drive took over four! I didn't see pavement for the longest time, because it was snow covered. And I was lucky to get over 20 mph for the first two hours! But my base, two wheel drive vibe held up like a champ! I didn't have a single problem the whole ride! And actually surpisingly good gas mileage. (28.5 mpg) She got a nice reward when I finally made it to my girlfriend's house...a brandy new Yakima Ski Rack!
