We get a winter storm like this every decade or so. When one hits, it brings everything to a halt because it is economically unfeasible to keep snow clearing vehicles on hand when it happens so rarely. It hasn't been a problem at all for our 2006 Dodge Caravan. I've pretty much been able to navigate the slick ice covered roads with a minimal amount of problems. I wasn't brave enough to venture out in my "peg leg" 89 Ram. ;)

Snowing like crazy outside here in Upstate NY at the moment. I would be glad to send a few inches anywhere you want them sent.

I hear ya classicironman! I get home from work and shovel the driveway the last three mornings , go to bed and get up and shovel again in the afternoon. Would love only 1-2 in instead of feet. I think you guys in NY are getting hit worse than us again. So far this has been a typical Pa. winter, but a little below average temp wise.

It's generally conceded we got between 6 and 8 inches. That's a huge snow for down here but nothing like the snows I remember from when I lived in Boston in the late 1970s.
