Man what a ride home from work. I have never driven a car that I was holding my breathe so much in the snow. Of course, the summer tires I'm sure didn't help the situation. But then again, who think of Vegas getting 6 inches of snow. The normal 15 minute ride took 1 hour and 15 minutes. I was just thinking to myself the whole time, why did Lexus even put the ETC Snow button. I can only imagine how bad it would have been if I didn't push it.
I knew I should have called in sick...
Sorry I disappointed people that thought that there was going to be pictures of a crash

I feel ya dude! I live south of Seattle, WA and we're getting hit by a big snow storm. Monday I couldn't even get out of my drive way in my IS350 and had to push my car back into the garage! It's my first RWD car, so a learning experience (I just got it back in August). But I took my brother's Celica (which was mine) out which drove fine, sort of miss having FWD...

I live in vegas as well. We had the most snow I have ever seen, BY FAR!!!! in the past 29 years I have lived here. I got stuck a few times, but nothing rocking couldn't rectify. I just plowed through it instead of letting it bother me. In any event I do wish I had my old S4 as opposed to this, BY FAR.

My IS250AWD did well here even with summer tires, you just need to BE CAREFUL on snow/ice... I'd worry about the OTHER folks!!!
Maybe this will make you feel better: we've had 32" of snow already with 10"-12" expected between this afternoon and Friday at noon!!! Our FIFTH Winter Storm Warning, Christmas is still a week away........
