I think we can all blame our interesting weather on that Central American - water baby...
Is it a girl or boy this year????!!!!
El Nino, or El Nina.
Anyway, it is alway the children that effect the grown ups sooooo muuchh, EH?
...then we adults seem to leave bigger messes for them to clean up, much later, EH?

Ouch!

Well, to answer the question asked - No, I have not driven my Mustang in the snow since the blizzard (Denver Colorado) of 1982, 18" at Thanksgiving. I drove all over with that car, of course I had rebuilt my Ltd slip rear end "too tight", it was "locked", so, I had extremely good traction. If the untracked snow got too deep, I drove in reverse, it was fun!
...and, to top that, I also own a 4x4 (Isuzu, Rodeo, since 1999) and have never driven it *using all wheel drive* in the snow, ever.
...however, the Rodeo moved to Florida (two days before Charley) in 2004 and will probably never see snow again!
...and, now, the mustang gets better highway MPG than the Rodeo, therefore, the Rodeo will probably never get driven back to Colorado where it might be able to see snow again.

Happy New Year - to everyone!!!
