^^lol
when i had my first winter in my SC i had blizzaks on all four corners and performed quite well for the next 2 years. 3rd year i had LS4 brakes so my stock wheels + blizzaks couldn't fit so i whipped up some all season tires on a set of Supra wheels. We got slammed, i got stuck. Couldn't even get up the multi-level garage ramp at my work. Was embarrassing, but it also gave me the chance to slide around and learn to control my car in the snow/low traction conditions.
This year though i didn't have my Supra rims (stolen from my apt.) so i bicked up a crappy Bronco II w/ 4wd. Haven't gotten slammed here with snow yet, but so far it has proven sufficient. IMO a good set of winter tires or a beater would help you out. There's a first for everything, including winter, so be careful and take your time...and learn how to handle the snow.

I never had an issue with snow in my SC back when I lived in Potomac. I think it was 2007 when that random storm hit and the beltway wasn't even plowed. Still drove around and got to work in my SC. Passing tractor trailers and 4X4's. I didn't even have traction control.

i put my snow tires (mounted on rims from sc spare tires bought from gazi) before i drove in the snow. without the snow tires, the SC should not be driven with snow on the road, but with the snow tires it is fine. my CONN uncle always switched to snows for all winter long and never got stuck with his LS400. I guess snow tires are uncommon in MD, but you can get them online, and i recommend you figure out something as snow does happen. Good luck, Scotty

Perhaps the gigawatt discharge coupled with the temporal displacement field generated by the time vehicle caused a disruption of my own brain waves, resulting in a condition of momentary amnesia. Indeed, I now recall that moments after the time vehicle disappeared into the future, I saw a vision of Marty say he had come back from the future... Meaning, that this thread sucks!" lol.
