I HATE IT!!! But then again, I don't have a daily driver so my baby is sitting in the garage while I have to bum rides off of people.

It's still snowing pretty hard here in Charlotte. What does everyone else think of the snow?

Yeah i'm 35miles east of raleigh right now...commuting with the Z. Snowing pretty good here, so I'm contemplating whether or not I need to leave early...295's + Snow = not good for traction

but to answer the question....I love snow. Lived in Hickory pretty much my whole life and used to be on a ski racing team in the mountains, so even though I'm from the south, I have got my fair share of the snow.

I love it minus the fact nobody can drive in it or they think the world is going to end and go the grocery store and stock up on milk and bread everytime you get a few inches

Loads of fun. The first snow we got just 1 mile from my work was a wrecked Z that ended up in the median of the highway.. Sucks, his airbags deployed so i imagine he hit the railing fairly hard. With this snow today one of my buddy's friends managed to skid out of control with his Z and caught a curb with the rear wheel

haha..the snow today was a joke. They called for 4-5 inches of snow and ice (which made everyone and their mother freakout)...everything in greensboro shut down and we only ended up really getting about 1/2 an inch which melted by 12ish. But on the plus side was I had the whole day off to be a lazy bum. So to answer the question I only like snow when it lets me get out of going to work or school..besides that it sucks!

I don't like it either. Only cause nobody knows how to drive in bad weather. I'm more afraid of getting hit, by the tard who doesn't know how to slow down, than anything else... lol. My Z is my daily driver, but it wasn't bad in Durham, so no worries. To me, this isn't snow. Snow is when I was away in college, in Missouri, was 80 degrees one day, and the next day, I was knee-deep in the white stuff.

Snow is great on a ski trip, other than that you can keep it. I think it got in the high 30's last week one night and they opened up shelters for people without heat down here.

There is one issue with snow around here though...at least with the roads. Around here the snow turns to slush pretty damn easily, which is no big deal...until it refreezes again overnight and is pure ice. Thats when people think...oh no big deal, there is snow on the roads, I have my 4wd suv whatever, and then wreck it because they don't realize you can't drive anything on ice.
