i wish my school closed for that little snow. My high school is an outdoor campus so i have to go from building to building every period and recently the janitors would salt and plow all the walkways but by 3rd or 4th period it would start to snow again or get cold enough for everything to freeze over. its been like that the last week or 2, but man is it funny to watch freshmen try to get around campus. they dont know all the tricks of getting around campus that all the upper classmen know

7 Inches of snow? That's a little more than a dusting here in New England!

28 degrees? That's a heat wave compared to last week, when we were below zero for the lows and high temperatures were in the single digits!

My 'Stang is stored in the "paddock" and won't come out until springtime!

I've seen about 0.05" of snow this winter so far. Coldest it's gotten is 12* one night. Wouldn't mind a little snow.

I have driven my stang in the snow for the last 3 years and my dad had it before me and drove it for 7 years every winter. I can't tell you the number of AWD vehicles I've driven past sitting in the ditch in my stang as I laugh. Stangs arent the best vehicle in the snow but a good driver can handle them withought a problem.

I think a whole lot depends on what type tire your running. I have purely summer tires and they're pretty good in rain and standing water, but with snow and/or ice they might as well be slicks. if it's ice or snow my mustang stays put..
