Got about 26" during the storm - today it's raining/sleeting on top of all the snow. Ugh.

No issues with stability or traction at all (I have Michelin Pilot Alpin snows on 18" wheels for the winter). Just have to watch the ground clearance as my car is lower than stock, but they do a pretty good job plowing around here so, again, no issues. It's actually a really fun year 'round car!

@Boston - Mine is my only car (other than the 1964 Valiant convertible in the garage and the two motorcycles), so you're not alone! I just didn't bother to go anywhere on Friday during the storm, and Saturday I woke up to that lovely piece of work.

As an aside, I see you have some nice mods - what's worked best for you? I'm thinking of a new intake/plenum, exhaust and some other goodies.

Thanks!

What's that formula, something about doubling your speed quadruples the force - in any case it seems to help with snow removal from the car

Truthfully, she sleeps in the garage between (daily) outings

Nice to hear of another daily driver, even further North! In terms of mods, I had all the exhaust work and ECU tune done first. Have enjoyed that immensely over the last couple of years. Great sound IMHO, feels more responsive, etc.

As for the factory carbon airbox, GT3 throttle body and X51 intake plenum, well, that's actually going on as we speak (type). A few others have done the same/similar mods and seem to enjoy the results.
