We're due for 5 - 8" of snow tonight. I can't wait. Hopefully it will wait until I'm home from work though, as the Benz isn't that great in the snow.

Yeah, mine does not hold a candle to my VW diesels, they were actually great in the snow, long as it did not exceed there ground clearance.

yeah, my TDI was fantastic in the snow as long as it wasn't deeper than 3 or 4 inches. I had it lowered by 30 mm, so it liked to act as a snow plow.

I've kinda gotten to like the color too. I was more of a black and grey or white person, but the blue is nice. I wish mine was in some of it's better days.

I had a 78 Lincoln that did the snow plow thing with the dual exhaust on it, it was pretty low...

A couple of very cold diesels. Both plugged in - just to think on friday it was 58 and yesterday I was still in a T - shirt!

You guys make me friggin laugh!!!!! You think you have snow. This is a moderate snowfall here. Stuck my head out the window and snapped a pic for you. Luckily, My Benz is in the garage and the Soob is awaiting snow duty.

Its been snowing all weekend....right now the temp is -32C, but its really -47C with a nasty 24kph windchill (that's -52F )

I parked in an underground parkade this morning....something I only have to do once or twice a year.

No snow here in NE Tennessee- except in the higher mountains above 2500 ft in the extreme eastern counties. Here in the Tri-Cities metro- at 1100-1700ft - it was an all-day rain.

WOLF- Where in NC do you live? I heard that Boone, NC (about 52 miles from us here in Bristol, TN) had a lot of snow. Luckily, we are on the west side of the mountains and we were in the upper 30s all day yesterday and had ALL RAIN- but areas just about 30 miles to our northeast had ice and snow. I have family in Raleigh and snowed all the way down there- which is not very common for eastern NC.
