Default Eastern PA'ers I was just out on the roads....careful out there.....

Even with snows I was sliding around quite a bit. I might let a pound or two of air out hopefully that will improve things. It seems because of the cold the snow does melt a little from the tires runing them over then it builds up a really slick ice like layer on the pavement which makes for taking turns at 25mph+ speeds pretty shaky. Salt doesnt do much either at this temperature either. Thermo was reading 18. On a side not i watched a kia plow into a curb. It was quite the site.

Default It's my first snow ever in the S4, a little slippery.

I had that ESP light go on multiple times, and i could slightly feel the ABS working once. It was manageable though, just go very slow. Here's a very dirty, snowy pic for ya.
