Default Big snow storm coming, are you guys prepared

Snow snow snow!! 9 feet of snow has touched down in Upstate NY already UpstateGS how are you holding up buddy? I here that NYC is going to get a taste of what the folks in upstate recieved. Weather folks are uncertain about the amount, but predict we may see at least a foot of snow Tuesday night into Wednsday. Are you guys prepared? Blizzak tires and/or 4x4 time. How will you guys be getting around if we get more than a foot?

i really wanted to drive my gs300 in the snow again but unfortunately i'm going to miss this storm since i'll be in florida for work all of next week.

the michellin alpina snow tires are great! and it's so much fun driving in the snow with them. i still remember driving back after work from conneticut two years ago and there was about three inches of snow on the Merritt Parkway. everyone was going about 30 in the right lane while i was able to drive about 50mph most of the way back.

oh well... i just have to make sure to park my car in an indoor lot around laguardia for the week. maybe there'll still be a bit of snow left when i get back.

I got my AWD Jeep, and FYI, we are only slated for a few inches. (At most) nothing like what Upstate received.

We dont get "Lake Effect" Snow in NYC (There are no nearby significant lakes)
