I'm starting to see why some of you winter driving-loving weirdos (I keed) enjoy driving in this stuff. That formerly dreaded double roundabout by Currie Barracks going onto Crowchild didn't stand a chance.

If you're prepped for it, its FUN!
Best winter car I ever had was my old Jeep Patriot. Big 4 cylinder so lots of low-end torque but bupkis for Horsepower, but it was AWD, you could lock the diffs and it was essentially a station wagon that weighed a ton but all the weight was low.
Slapped some Blizzaks on that thing and it was awesome to drive in the winter.
