It is beautiful. I heard it will be 70 in Denver later this week. Bye bye snow.
She hates winter like me Honestly my X3 doesnt like it either. The stupid "somethings" in the suspension creak and groan over speed bumps.

By the way, someone answer this: What's worse for driving......wet or dry snow?

The reason I ask....I know wet snow melts in to slush and invariably freezes. But the first time I experienced the dry, powdery snow was not fun. It was a cold, 23F midday and my mom was taking my friend and I to someone's house. Cars were doing 360s on the highway and the X3 was sliding around like a slithering snake.

For me dry snow is easier because i know what i'm driving on and I can expect a certain type of traction, wet snow tougher because you can't always tell if roads are wet or it's black ice, plus the slush just throws you around.

I put on my snow tires last weekend. 6 months on summer ones and six month winter ones. Here in Germany they treat winter tires seriously. Mind you the speeds you drive on unrestricted authbahns ( I cruised to Berlin from Cologne on 160 hitting from time to time 200kmh, legaly) you dont want to have all season boots. No good in winter no good in summer.
