i was the first car at the light leaving my neighborhood this morning, and there is a bit of a crown to the road, so it's a slight uphill start. it took me the entire green light to make a left turn, and the car behind me was covered in snow second gear start, about 6k the whole time, but i made it

I managed to get the Merc stuck in the parking lot at the office...with AWD my old Audi would've never been stuck.

I don't recommend it, although it was probably pretty amusing to watch. I turned off the traction control and had all 4 wheels spinning throwing snow everywhere.

On my way to work this morning none of the roads had been plowed, I slipped a lot on the way in...it had me doubting myself about my next car choice a lot.

I should have driven the truck, but they're at the office, buried in snow
