    im with tom on that.. i plowed through 18" or so of snow no problem at all for a few miles until i got to civilization, once there, i was on maybe 5-6 inches and was okay.. once i got to main roads where there was a 1-2 inches packed down, the VX was a little squirrly at times, once even got to maybe a 15º angle on me, but always a touch of gas and a very slight steering correction and she was straight as an arrow

    Thanks. That makes me feel a little better. It can get a bit un-nerving with such a short wheelbase when you feel the back side switching a little bit.
    I never thought I was about to lose it, but did wonder how far it would go. Acceleration was never a problem though. That TOD is sweet!

    we have the EXACT opposite thing going on around here...
    colorado is drying up. everyone here is freakin out a little because we arent gonna have any water this year to feed all the other states for crops and whatnot.

    the 'ski' mountains are also really hurting because no one is riding them due to the lack of base snow. (around 40 inches for most mountains right now, average this time of year is 120 inches)

    I finished out the first snow with 36" and 20" during the second. 56" in 4 days north of DC. This place came to a STANDSTILL. Needless to say, the STi was in the garage since last Friday and only came out this morning. The VX on the other hand.... has been EVERYWHERE.
