So I drove directly through that sparce snowfall Saturday from LI back to Syracuse

I tell you being a native to 'cusetown I really think my winter driving skills came into play. It was the funniest thing watching folks in the tristate area try to maneuver their cars. At one point on Meadowbrook Pky a guy in like a '94 Grand Prix went flying by me. Mind you there was good amount of fresh powder on ground. Not 5 minutes later he spins a 270 degree turn. I apply break, two cars behind me do as well but in my rear view mirror i see a minivan coming barreling down and I know he ain't stopping in time. Driver locks up brakes I imagine car turns sideways and hits a barrier. Mean time Grand Prix just executes his 15 point turn and we are on our way. I passed quite a few BMW's actually in which I was surprised even to see them on the road. Long story short I spent the day breaking in Heidi as she only had couple hundred miles on her at point of departure. My 4.5hr trip extended to 6 hours but it wasn't all that bad. BTW ContiSport all-seasons are an amazing tire.
