Philly is not too bad with 10-12 inches in the Center City. I heard NYC and Boston, along with coastal NJ region got 18+ inches. News says the snow accumulation in NYC is the sixth highest in the city's recorded history since 1860s.

I am looking forward to another snow storm...

Default Here is my snow setup $80

Takes 6 minutes to install and 5 to remove. The traction is excellent!!

These are made by SCC.

It would be a dream come true (for me) if Lexus came out with a AWD IS-F.

lol...maybe i should not have called it my winter setup. This is my emergency setup. You know, when you get >8" of snow in my experience winter tires just do not work. I carry these in my car just in case i get stock. Put them on and get out of trouble. Also, the max speed on these is only 30mph. I got them this week, tested them around my development during a storm we had on Tuesday night and they worked perfect with not DAMAGE to the tires or the wheels. So i am pretty happy.

I like driving my F too much to keep it stored all winter long. When it gets wornout.. I guess that it will be a good excuse to ge the GT-R!!!

No it wouldn't, there would be too much drivetrain loss... it wouldn't be nearly as quick...
