White Christmas

Had 6-8 inches of snow with drifts app 2 feet Christmas eve. Able to go out and play Christmas day. The RX 450h AWD in hybrid snow mode with stock Michelins had no problem getting around. No spinning of the tires and felt sure footed. In snow mode the rear electric motor runs all the time.
