Who's been driving in the snow?

Curious with who's had snow and who hasn't. With all this snow down South. Whos been using their front splitters as snow plows?

Any hairy off moments and sideway actions from anyone or even a TD in the snow?

I managed to get a daily in the nick of time last week, so the CSL has been covered in 7 inches of snow, not being able to get it off the drive and into storage. I remember last year I couldn't move 3 foot being RWD.

Not in CSL but have been having the time of my life, DSC off and lock stop angles of skidding, managed a good one past the security guards at work whilst waving at them :D

Only time a 318i feels like it has enough power so making the most of it

As Bounce said no snow here in south western parts of kernow, quite bright actually. Almost tempted for a blast but salty roads out me off. Perhaps a nice dry break over xmas......
