Northeast Snow

For those of you living in the northeast and brought your E into the snow, how did the car handle it?

I just drove my E320 for an hour or two on the most slippery roads I have ever driven on (we here in Oakville, SW of Toronto are getting quite a bit of that snow too).

No problem. Orange triangle warning light is on more or less permanently and once I went sideways at speed (tight corner that was a bit more slippery than I thought) but it gripped again just before I really went into the path of that truck coming the other way.


No I do not have winter tyres, though I probably should

My E320 was great - I'm in the office today and barely a handful of people showed up! The back roads here in the Boston area were pretty bad this morning, but the winter mode and traction control were great - just a little slipping and sliding on the hills - I was thrilled with the way it handled!
