Did some driving in the snow this morning
had to pick up the kid who was staying at the grandparents in Fairfield this morning at 7:30. Not too many people on the road and luckily nobody hogging the left lane. It was a little slippery since its only 18 degrees outside at that time but no issue with 65mph. There was no snow in ffld when i got there but it started snowing before I left.
Still snowing in Stamford. On my way home after swim class (I know, 18 degrees) we took the backroads around the reservoir and there was an E class backing up down the road because I think she wasnt able to get traction. No salt or sand on that road FTW so it was a nice drive at 50mph. There seems to be a lot more traction when the snow is packed than driving on lightly snowy roads I guess because there's ice hiding there.
Anyway, the A3 and the Dunlop WIntersport M2's handled really well although I fishtailed it out of my driveway (I always test traction this way when it snows) so it was definitely slippery.
Salt truck came by around 11am so it was still fresh snow when I left and came back.
Anyway, happy driving, watch out for others.

Seems to drive pretty well. The rear doesnt kick out as much when I put the power down
Doesnt seem to have as much traction from a standing start but very surefooted once moving.
