Get winter tires for this snow. I drove like a champ on the LIE earlier, no problems. And no problems around my neighborhood. I see other cars slipping everywhere.

I agree snow sucks, my car has been parked for the last 3 days and it looks like another week to come. Snow and ice is hitting us hard here in the NW. Taxis are the way to go here

The M handled amazing in the snow today. I LOVE my Blizzak tires. What a HUGE difference they make! Car didn't slip.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
For the record, snow doesn't suck. I feel bad for the unfortunate souls that do not get to experience its beauty and the fun and challenging drive.
In the northeast, we get to develop driving skills unmatched by those that do not have the good fortune of driving in snow. Some of those skills can be real life savers in gravel and sand driving. We all know what hot and sticky is like, but only some of us get to experience the beauty that is snow. Ice driving is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. I really feel sorry for the folks with year round warm climate. Sorry, your loss......
