Default driving condition in Everett, Lynnwood, Seattle area????

Hi everyone

I might move to Everett, Lynnwood, Seattle area... I am just wondering how is the driving condtion (weather wise) over there.

My biggest question is that, some people told me, I will need a AWD car besides my Z due to the snow, but some people told me it doesnt snow that hard, and Z will just do fine.

Wat you guys think??? Do you guys drive your Z even during snow.. or most of you have two cars and one for snow over there???

Will be FWD good enough on the event of snowing?? or I do have to get an AWD..

Please let me know,

Thank you guys

there's probably only a handful of days that you wouldn't be able to drive the Z due to snow...most of us either work from home those days or have another car.

*you could also just get a 2nd set of wheels w/ snow tires on them.

unless if u have a **** employer, the one or two days out of the year that are bad enough that u can't get to work shouldn't be a problem. unless it dumps like crazy, a fwd will be fine

It doesn't snow very much or very often here. Your FWD Integra will be fine, if you have some all-season tires on it.

I just drove down to Mt. Baker yesterday, and the roads through Everett all the way to Baker were so icy! There was an accident almost every mile or so. Baker kicked ass though.

I have no problems driving around in the snow with my wife's FWD minivan. It doesn't snow (and stick) very often though usually only once or twice a year.

Oh. The weather.

I was prepared to read a barrage of "Everybody is a worthless driver." But, since I didn't see that yet...

Everybody is a worthless driver.

It was more a generalized comment.

Today, I saw someone backing up. On the highway. 405. Backing up.

bring it old man. LOL

too funny about the person on 405. I've seen that before as well. Merging is the big concept that people don't understand here.
