Here in Evansville IN we only got two inches of snow, but it’s very cold (by our standards), with only a daytime high of 5 degF.

This is the first winter weather we’ve had here since I got my truck back in March. Made a couple trips to the bank and to my local Walmart about 3.5 miles. My Mav is FWD, and I put it in Slippery Mode and it did just fine.

How is the weather where you’re at and how is your Mav handling it?

We had 14" of snow on Tuesday, didn't have to go anywhere that day thankfully. The next day I went to work, had no trouble getting around, even on roads that had not been plowed. Have Nokian WR-G4s on a Hybrid.

Very cold here with windchill of - 30 overnight. My Mac didn't go anywhere as being retired I saw no need to get out in this weather.

We're in the middle of a 2 day blizzard in Iowa. It is delivering blowing/drifting snow, sub 0 Temps and very slick roads. I'm very impressed with how well the awd system performs. I'm also pleased with the performance of the factory Continentals. They were great in the wet snow a few weeks ago, but I was expecting much diminished performance in the extreme cold. I'm especially surprised with the latteral stability. I have tried to get it sliding sideways, but it gets good grip and straightens out without having to counter steer much at all. I haven't driven in any deep snow yet, but confident it will do well.

I've never subscribed to The Weather Company's marketing names. But my 06 Saturn started up this morning when it was 17 degrees. It let me know it wasn't happy about it but it did start.

No problem in my Hybrid with this Oklahoma snow. I was curious to see how it would do. My Sport trac was rear wheel drive/2wd so I knew it would be better.

I have family in Huntingburg/Jasper!

Dallas has been below freezing, 11 degrees last night, for about 30 hours. My Hybrid lives outside and took it to the vet this afternoon. No issues starting or heating up.

All rain and wind in CT. But no tree branches have fallen on it yet, so I guess that's a win

My twins are tucked away in their newly built garage with trickle chargers and won’t see the cold directly until Sunday.

-7 w/40+ mile an hour winds and two inches of snow here in South Central, KY.

Stay home and stay safe. Your truck will thank you. 😊

Not my name…. Weather Channel started naming these winter storms years ago. Media calling this a “once in a generation” storm which seems a bit melodramatic.

What? They would never do that...

*Thinks back to "snowpocalypse", "snowmageddon", and whatever else the forecasters called a storm that turned out to be just about nothing*

Just got the first freeze of the season here in south central Texas. I needed a break from lawn mowing and maintenance. No snow and no rain. Just a pretty sunny day.
