Man up!!!! ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I've been driving mine all winter, turn ESP off, raised mode on, and get a decent set of Blizzaks.
I am ready for warmer weather for other reasons, but I'll certainly miss the low IATs and "free" horsepower that is available this time of year.

MB Shrewsbury gave me a GLK250 to drive today..... it's adorable. I feel like such a pretty girl driving it around.
At least the timing was good. It's a lot less stressful driving someone else's car in a blizzard than my own.

Yep.
The narrower tires and cold air makes me feel like I'm driving a 500WHP car...... it's going to be depressing when summertime comes and I can't just haze the tires from a roll any time I feel like it.

Where in MD are you?
I am currently in Southern MD on business, but I am likely checking out tonight and trucking up North to home. I live just southeast of Baltimore in the suburbs.
I am comtemplating driving back tonight before the second 'storm' hits later tonight, or wait until tomorrow until they clear the roads and it's warmer to melt everything away.

Yeah. I live in south east Texas, sooo......I drive my car daily! ![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Seriously, I was born in Boston and spent my first 25 years in Southeastern Ma/western MA. I always rocked my cars with a spare set of wheels with a grippy set of Michelin pilot alpines.

12 inches...LOL....couldn't help it.
I know some will laugh at this, I have been stationed in maryland in snow and had record snowfall in Denver when i was stationed there. Both places I drove EVERYWHERE. We had the ice storm here in Pensacola a few weeks ago and it was by far the worse driving conditions I have ever seen. They didn;t do JACK to the roads...nothing. I rolled home in the E idling at 20mph and never hit the brakes on the iciest road I have ever driven on. there were cars all over the ditches. I wish I still had my monster truck and jeeps...I made a lot of money pulling people out of medians and ditches
