Went to bed last night with the weathermen saying we "might" see 1-2 inches of snow on the ground this morning. Got up at 5 this morning, looked out the window to see about a foot on the ground. Cool, finally get to test the beast out in the snow since it's the first time it's snowed since I have owned it(actually the first time I've seen snow in 2 years)
They hadn't plowed my street yet and I'm living in a neighborhood that's still being built so there is a fresh layer of mud under the snow on the street so it was slick and slide driving. I was pretty impressed with the way it handled it, although the VDC and traction control get kind of annoying, and I'm still not impressed with the tires that come with the OR package. My drive to work consists of about a 1/2 mile through my neighborhood, 2 miles of a fairly busy(first to be plowed) road and then about 1.5 miles of airport property(not plowed until the runways are done) I barely spun tires even with the vdc off and in 2wd until the tires got packed with snow then they'd spin all the snow off and grip again.
Oh well, I guess I'm pretty happy overall with the performance of it in the snow, and I hope we get more so I can go have some fun(streets were clear and sloppy by the time I got off work)
