Is your car in winter mode yet? Fascinated by the white stuff falling from the sky? Have pictures of your car in winter mode or white stuff falling from the sky, or a combination of the two? Post it!

I'm sure we'll have nicer photos in here once significant the snow begins to accumulate.

Watch out for the sudden flash snow... Like what happened in New Jersey about a month ago.

Lots of great snow pics so far guys! Lol. Some pics of the Snowtober storm a few weeks ago here in NJ:

Put the winter wheels and snow tires on the night before:


By noon the next day:


Snow in fall = Tree branches falling = No electricity = Chaos driving home:


Just follow the Raptor:


Made it home safe and sound after 2.5hr 60 mile commute:


oops, can't edit. vids of tree branches falling and driving with Ford Raptor on rt 80e:

ook, that much snow around here and nobodys goin nowhere. Scares me just to think about it even though they're forecasting it for mid to late December.

[andyb5]

Yeah we've already had snow 2x here in NY. 1-2" the first time, and 4-5" the second. Neither last long, but watching my friends clean their cars off in October made me temporarily glad to not have a car

I hate the new bumpers and have seen them in the flesh in the UK and Singapore. The 2008 piece I do like (the boot plinth) I already have.

We ended up with over 13" of snow from that storm, you could stand outside at night and hear trees snapping in half from the snow. Crazy. Looking forward to the winter season though, bring it on, Volvo AWD FTW!!

Better yet, anything more than 3" of snow on any incline hill.

[devolv]

Jeremy has an air ride system in his car, so his 3" clearance can get to a much higher ride height at a push of a button.
