Northeast be careful out there

I still have the MP4S on today and just got home in time before this stuff sticked. Watching all types of cars in NYC and LI spin out and unable to go up hills. Cars with all season and awd. They really blew this forecast calling for a coating then rain. Caught everyone off guard. Need to throw the winters on this weekend for sure.

Saw someone in an AY M4 stuck on an exit ramp off the Merritt in Trumbull. Had a giant wing and canards. Apparently they don't help grip in the snow.

And sat in tons of traffic bc of the guy in his C5 vette stuck, followed shortly by a Mustang.

SMH.

Got my Pirelli Sottozero 3's on! Bring on the cold! Be safe everybody.

I just had my snows put on this week, and not a second too soon. Blizzaks on my 437s, and they're working well, but still this snowfall had me creeping out there...literally can't imagine driving with summers right now in NE..tempting fate

I didn't get my winter set on yet so I had to leave the car at the train station overnight. It was chaos out there.

put on my winters last weekend (255/40 blizzaks on 513Ms). handled the few inches of snow like a champ. no issues here.
