Driving in HEAVY snow.

I have only had mine for a few days now and yesterday the snow came down fast and sloppy. My first snow drive was not bad at all. This was in cleveland on the highway with all the oter crazys spinning all over the place..............not me. Traction was very good and stability was surprising. This type of sloppy, sticky,heavy,slippery snow was the best test I could ask for and it passed with flying colors. I was worried about being thrown from lane to lane by crossing "slush tracks" but it went fine. Don't get me wrong, it was a two handed drive and not really fun but I was very happy with the way it handled. With that being said, I also have to note that in the summer I spend a little time behind the wheel of a dirt track race car with a whole lot more horspower and a lot less control...so I do have a good idea of what is good and what is not......This is now my everyday transportation to work (60 miles) and I am very glad it passed the "snow" test.
