I love snow, except when I need to travel around here - ice underneath and tons of hills - really treacherous. Grew up driving in snow in Denver, where the snow was much different and they had enough vehicles to remove it, for the most part. I had a VW bug back then and it was like a baby jeep. I remember one year when neither my mom or stepdad could take their big cars out and be on the road safely, so 5 of us piled in my bug to go to midnight Mass.

Enjoy the snow - always extra fun this time of year!

VW Beetles were excellent snow cars, until it got deep enough that the light front end started riding up and you couldn't steer. Corvairs were great snow cars, too. Crappy heat in both, crappy heat in general with air-cooled engines. The heater works in a Jeep.
