Yup, winter is truly upon us, it only got to about 78 degrees here today!

There was a shop on KYW news this morning ... a relatively new 7 series spinning it's wheels trying to move through an intersection while other cars simply drove by!

Probably worn out all season tires or a Summer set up the driver didn't know were not suitable for cold winter weather. In either case it poorly represented the car's capability in inclement weather.

Driving on the roads today (prior to the snow) here in NY, I was shocked by how few drivers switch to winter tires for the winter. Plenty of max summer performance rubber rollin.

It looks like we have at least 10"-12" in this part of South Jersey. It is going to be real fun trying to get in and out of the Eagles game tomorrow.

Yes, today I was surprised to see the snow. This is my first real experience of snow up north, since moving here to Indiana from Texas. I tested the car against the icy conditions and passed. Ironically on my way back to the house, I got stuck in my driveway trying to reverse into the garage!
