Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow1

Yahooooo!! 8 & 1/2 inches of snow in four hours. First time with the X with Conti snows. Almost as good as the pickup with the plow on front. Yeah X5!

This morning we had about an inch and a half of ice and sleet here in the mountains of VA. The X is still on 19'' Michelin Diamaris. Boy, that was fun.

ATB, Zach


























Ok, so I waited until most of it had melted.....still a bit squirrel-ly on some slick spots though...

What the County did by me was salt before the big fall. No traffic, ergo ice. Out to work at 6:30am and there's an H2 splattered all over the place being towed. I don't think anybody should sit in traffic before it gets light!!!

It was good seeing the snow, but it was a BIG hassle trying to dig out my beater.

Here's a pic for reference..

Nice little beater! Do those Jettas have traction control?

We got about 13" throughout the day yesterday (Fri). It was coming down at a VERY good clip.

X5 and Blizzak LM-22's went through like a champ, as usual!
