We've got about a 6" accumulation with another storm warning for tonight that may bring up to 12" more.

I've been drifting all over town and having a blast.
No top down because it has to be parked while I'm at work and it's actually been snowing lightly all day long.

Come to Bend. We're now at about 9-10 inches and it's still falling.

Nice! Went for a top down drive to the bakery this morning, finally reached the end of summer tires in the snow, only just made it back in the garage; albeit after a lot of opposite lock! Luckily the gf rather enjoys going sideways!

Even with snow tires, I found the limit of the S. It can't handle 16" of unplowed snow on roads. I got stuck 3 times because I parked and couldn't get going again.

Your near where I work. Summer tires, snow and ice are not award winning combo learned my lesson. The 4 runner is my winter vehicle of choice now.
