Almost took it back. The car would just stop while trying to get out of my driveway. I had to hold the DSC button to disable the traction control completely so I could basicaly melt the ice with wheelspin. I had not thought the roads were so bad because the x5 had 0 issues. This is "massive" snow for Atlanta-granted everything under the white stuff is pure ice.

I guess you weren't here for the "blizzard" of 1993. I was 14 years old and it was my first winter here after moving from the lakefront area of northern Ohio. I remember everyone saying it never snowed, then we got this.
You are right though. Typically, we don't get anything but a light dusting that turns to ice. You guys are making me jealous with these photos. I wish I could drive around in the snow like that. Looks like fun.
