So how are you guys finding this weather?

My 93 coupe is my daily driver and yesterday was my first time driving it in snow and ice, I have to say that ot was a pretty scary experience!.

Many of you get your Vettes out in this weather??

There only has to be one drop of water on the road for my car to feel like it's on ice. If only I could put the power down...

Different story when I had my 93. I found the traction control coped quite well and I could drive OK as long as one keeps it sensible. Probably couldn't run a decent quarter mile in the ice.

I had no more problems in my C5 today than with any other car in these road conditions. T/C and A/H messages popped up whenever I wanted to play though !

Took 2 1/2 hours to get home from work last night

Highlights were being blown sideways by the wind on the M4 whilst skating from Jct 13 to 12 at about 20 mph. Also the lightning flashes in amongst the driving snow on the M4 and the A34. Having very worn rear tyres did not help my feeling of well being last night.....also had to keep switching the headlights off so that I could get a better view of the road thru the blizzard.

Decided to only go to the Basingstoke office today as it is less than a mile from home!

Kerensa got in from London just gone 8.30. She left at 5pm.
They did grit the roads in London, trouble was that the road sweeper came round about half an hour later and cleaned it all up again !!
