Hey gang,
I woke up to about 2cm of snow covering my driveway and all the roads in Port Perry this morning. Took the car out to the gym and BOY was that a surprise for me. I get my winter tires installed this Wednesday in Toronto so I'm hoping to feel a huge difference.
As soon as I backed out of my driveway and put the car into drive, I noticed immediately that I could hardly accelerate at all, and the dash traction control warning light flickered constantly as the car tried to bite into the road.
On the way back home I turned onto my (still snow covered) street and slowing down PURELY via regenerative braking resulted in the car's back and wanting to slide out slightly.
There isn't much snow, but it's super slippery so I guess that's all that matters.
What have the rest of you experienced in winter conditions so far? Got those snow tires on yet?
