HID's in snow
I had my first experience today driving at night while it's snowing. We got a good dump tonight, during my drive I would say the white stuff was coming down in moderate heavyness. No blowing. I didn't notice any particular adverse effects from the HID's. The 6000K definitely produces a blue tint on the snow, but there was no more hindrance to visibility than with normal hologen bulbs. Switching to high beams reduced visibility.
One thing I did notice is that the spot where you can see the light in the snow flakes the most is about 5' about the front bumper, not in front of the car where I would expect to see. Maybe this is just because of the angles involved with the reflection. Turning the high beams on moved the bright spot higher up.
