That's South Carolina ?

That's a lot of snow. I can't image trying to drive the MINI in more than about 6 inches of snow, as low as it sits. And those young guys out there who have lowered their cars, make that 2 inches.

We got hit in Anderson also. Not as bad as Easley. It seems the snow clouds can read maps and know to ease up when they get to I85.

MINI's plow snow pretty good. I've drivin in 10+ in before. Problems lies in stopping, you don't want to stop if at all possible. Still, not my idea of a ton of fun though and my hubby is MUCH better at maneuvering in the snow than I.

Have fun with the snow, I'd stay home and play in it instead.

My window wouldn't come down that little bit upon unlocking mine last Tuesday. We had a brief little rain about 4:00 am while the temps were in the 20's. Enough to freeze :impatient the window in place I guess.
