Tonight is the start of the first *real* snow that Central VA has gotten this Winter and we should get a couple inches overnight and 5+ this coming weekend.
Around 9:30pm, I decided to go out for a quick spin and my step-daughter Kelsey tagged along. I went along some steep backroads which were unsalted and completely covered over by the white stuff. The awd 4EAT and my all-season Bridgestones handled it like it was nothing at all.
Kelsey was surprised we made it up a few inclines where there were some fwd/rwd cars that had been abandoned at the side of the road. She honestly commented that my car handled as well in the snow as my mother-in-law's awd Honda CR-V.
When we returned, she was beaming ear-to-ear, and my wife asked her if she was ever scared. Her reply "No way, I was in an SVX!"
