Nice. I must say I am a little jealous. I was looking forward to some empty parking lot donuts in the snow, but i had to go to work that night. Even the wife was disapointed. lol

It's amazing the difference in how it falls here versus up there. Part of my family lives in Boston, and it's no big deal, it falls and packs down. Here it just falls, melts and ices over, then more snow fall. You can't get anywhere with 1" of ice on the road and people just won't listen. We spent all night ferrying kids home and pulling folks with trucks and 4-wheelers. That and they won't spend the $ for equipment when it doesn't happen that often.

Ya, I live in Colorado but grew up in Augusta GA. There seems to be a difference in how the road feels/grips? down there. I think there is more road crown in the south if I;m not mistaken, but there is a huge difference that you can tell if you have driven down there vs up north.
