S2000 + Anchorage Winter
Hey Everyone. I recently purchased my s2k in October. It finally snowed here in Alaska and I thought I would show everyone that you can drive perfectly fine in the winter with a s2000
My s2k I stock height with stock rims. I have Bridgestone Blizzaks ws70 205/55r16 91T on all 4 corners.
Here is some pictures when I got up and dusted a little bit of snow off to start her. (Sorry for the crappy pics, it was with my cell...)

Here I'm just trying to give a better Idea on how much snow fell compared to ride height...

I didn't have any trouble getting out of the driveway. Here is a small video that I took on my way to work shortly after I got out of the driveway. [Good Lord, didn't know how long it actually takes to upload/process a video on youtube....]

If you jump to around 4min in the video, I perform a small "drift"..
We got ~6"-1' depending on where you were.
I'm thinking about buy a gopro camera now. I have fun video taping
Let me know if you have any questions, I'll try to answer them to the best of my abilities.

Lol, Ya gota go to a empty & secluded parking lot a practice and get used to the car some more. As you can see I almost did, thankfully It was dead in the morning, no one was behind me, and I didn't loose total control.

DONT think you wanted to perform that small drift.
looks like you lost control of the S for a bit.

Really? That's pretty much almost normal here. For it to be a snow day when I was in school, it had to be like -20 degrees and have like a good 1ft and half at least. But most of the time the roads are plowed, so I don't have to worry too much about doing "community service" by plowing the streets with her. LOL, used to do that with my Fiero.

Ya, its usually like that on a Sunday morning. But man when Monday rolls around...... I can't wait to see how many "ditch-divers" there are. LOL
Salt doesn't lower the freezing temperature enough in Alaska...well at least in Fairbanks when its 40-50 below zero. I just moved from there last year.
Nice to see another S2000 is residing in "The Last Frontier" - There are certainly some great photo opportunities in that state.
