Snow!

[Vash00es]

Alright, so i live in sunny new new hampshire. Well today we got POUNDED, we got about a foot of snow total. And the plow guy we hired at the beginning of winter didnt show up till like 7 at night and it started snowing 6 that morning and just hammered us the rest of the day

But needless to say, my driveways got about a foot of solid snow on it, i got stuck like 8 times just trying to come up the driveway till i finally got pissed off and just hammered it and creeped like 2 mph up till i finally made it.

Anyway heres some pics that i took about halfway through the storm, and no my cars not lowered

Yeah well i have summer tires on still, and the snow was up to the bumper, making my car a effective snowplow, it does suck

Yea, we got over a foot here in Milford. When I pulled into work at 9 I told my boss that he had missed a spot while plowing, so I got it with my plow(a.k.a. my bumper). When I went out for lunch, the snow was up to my bumper, my wheels were almost completely covered. Oh well, lots of snow and fun to slide around in.

Impalas have no business driving in snow IMO. The base models don't have any traction control, not to mention parking blocks strike the wind silencer on the bumper on these cars. My all season radials (Stock Tiger Paws I think) don't have problem picking up traction, but trying to ford 35 mph through a tiny bit of snow is tough as hell. It's hard enough to try and steer the car through dry turns, let alone plow through a snow drift.

I find that mine is pretty good in the snow. The front dosent lose traction very much, its just the back thats fishtail happy, but thats easy to correct

Snow tires anyone? mine are sitting in cleveland ATM. I'm just hoping I don't have to drive home in a blizzard.

I hate GM's traction control...my ex had a 99 Gran Prix GT with it and it didnt even help in the snow, just killed the throttle when u needed it

[Kevin]

GM's traction control is designed to prevent moronic drivers from plowing into the gas pedal and endlessly spinning their wheels.. hoping they're going to gain traction by spinning the tires more. By limiting the throttle, the tires regain their traction and you're able to move forward. The traction control is NOT designed to shift torque to the wheel that has grip. If it was, they'd call it a Limited Slip Differential .

Where traction control does not help you is when you're pulling out of a side-street/parking lot and you insist you can pull out infront of an incoming semi in time.
