I had my Lexus out in 62 degree sunny weather yesterday for a trip to the tennis club, but I do appreciate the snowy pics.

This is why real AWD cars like Subarus are so great in snow. They are not frou frou AWD's like a lot of cars. I spent three winters in Atlantic Canada with a couple of big, 30+ in. snow dumps and never had a problem getting around in my Subaru WRX. Other cars slipped and slided but the Subie just powered on through.

I love the snow, i really do, but my es300, even with snow tires, is ridiculously bad in snow, i think it cause it so low to the ground. The snow always accumulates in the rear wheel wheels and everytime i hit bump or dip, the tires rub with the snow making it seem like im bottoming out
