Here near Milwaukee, all the snow melted last week after 2 40 degree days, and a day in the 50's, then the high was 25 the very next day.
It snowed about an inch last night.
I drive a 2WD REAR wheel drive truck, a powerful V-8, with a manual tranny.
I was coming home from swim practice this morning. I live on a nice wide cul-de-sac.
NOw here's something you can't do with front wheel drive vehicles, not well anyways:
I entered the cul-de-sac, and 'drifted' across it sideways, perfectly lined up with my driveway, and then eased it up into my garage.
My 7 y/o son was looking out the window and said 'Wow dad, you were drifting!' I think he learned it from his Wii games.
I have 70# sand bags, and keep anywhere from 2- 5 of them on my bed depending on the conditions.
It's all good
