Since I had my tranny replaced, this is the first real snow I have had to play with. I had to pick my son up from school around 1pm yesterday before the roads were plowed. Trying to get there so he would not have to wait too long, I was racing down the back industrial park roads at about 60mph. Hooowee! What fun it is getting sideways at that speed in a straight line! Even in an AWD you can only go so fast in snow and slush.  Needless to say I had an absolute blast power sliding through all my turns. Even going into a turn with the car wanting to plow straight, a little gas and the front end tucked nicely into the turn and went where I pointed it.
My buddy at work here with a WRX has Pirelli's from the factory on his and he said he was having the worst time in the stuff yesterday. He couldn't stop or steer worth a darn. He is totally green with envy.
