You only want snow until you get it. Then it's pretty the first time. Then you learn to live with it.

Then, after 56 years of it, you move to SC.

Well, got stuck leaving work cause they plowed all the snow from the roads to the sidewalk. Cars are so much harder to get moving, once they're stuck, than u would think
Other than that, cool snow drifts

My neighbor has an F150, and it took him 20 minutes to get out of his driveway, which is flat and about 100 feet long. I'm not going anywhere with my car until later tomorrow.

My 328 does great in this weather. However, my heart breaks each time a salt truck blasts it.

I'll gladly be a Wussie...spent half my life playing in it... Would you be saying the same if your F30 wasn't xDrive?

Well, if it wasn't xDrive, I would still have to drive it either way.

Only one car

I used to have an E36 M3 as a daily driver and a dedicated set of winter tires and wheels. Xdrive isn't the factor...it's driving skill.

I don't think it was a jab at non-xDrive cars as it was on folks that park their F3x for the winter.
