You are doing yourself a disservice. These cars are a blast in the slop. Just put good snow tires on and enjoy yourself.

Don't envy you. White Xmas or not, 12" of snow is a big PITA. And I don't think you guys are done with the snow as there's a big weather system out west headed to the midwest supposed to hit Indiana mid-week that may end up on the east coast by the weekend. Better start shoveling.

+1 It's a shame there aren't more of us out there. You guys don't know what you are missing.
I'm in the process of moving, and am without a garage so mine even got covered in snow last night.

Danger? Clean snow has no danger for anything. Salt/sand mix is the danger. Plus crazy soccer moms who have no clue what this white stuff on the road is and what to do with it.

Clean nice snow is an ultimate fun. But I agree, we got a lot of this fun in last 12 hours.

That is about as close as I would get to the snow as well...but mine is not a AWD, and sits lower to the ground.
