    hey im just like ryan stewart, aka snow plow boy

    had a fun day today. drove home 60 miles from work in blizzard conditions. traffic was moving at a bustling 30mph on the freeway. lucky i made it home, and luckily my street didnt stop me even with 7" of snow. only took ~5000rpms and 2 mins to get down it.

                  Driving in snow is second nature to me.

                    i take it you're parked there!? :)

                    I miss the snow. I haven't seen snow since november...and that was just 4" of the lightest fluffiest snow ever...and it was gone in 2 days.

                          Amazing that Chicago is only 4.5 hours north of me, yet have that much more snow. Totally different climates. I went to NIU with a guy from Waukegan, BTW.

                            wow I am surprised you could aucutally get through that! my 325i if it snowed more then 1/2 an inch it would refuse to go forward!

                            Driving in snow is fun for the first month then its just a PITA, not much chance to romp through the gears ever.

                              actually romping was required for that last 50ft, it takes a lot of wheel spinning to get any kind of traction through that.
