    I've been in that situation and it sucks. Tires not meant for snow, a low torque riddled car, 360's in a straight line for no other reasons than the tires turned into bricks, the treads filled with ice and the damn car just won't steer at any speed. Nightmare.

    Neat pictures! Not so neat weather. When Porsche let journalists drive the then new 997 Turbo for the first time it was on snow at the Artic Circle. They had a groomed snow track to run on. With PSM you could get up to some speed with confidence. However when it was turned off the tractor had to come out and pull the car from the the snowbank...it was only then that you realized how much the PSM was contributing. The press car was yellow to.

    That's too much snow for me! I freaked over the little bit we had here a couple weeks ago that was like driving in rain basically.
