It was a blast as always! My pics from out during the storm are non LR related though! Once a week major storms so far this year. Loving it.

just a little snow down here in Greenwich.
I think we got about 14.5 inches, just cleared the front window and drove out of it, no problem.

Don't know where you are in VA, but I live in Fredericksburg . . . we got about 3 " and the amounts increased as I drove North up I-95 to DC this morning.

Loudon County and Clarke County got 10" - 12".

My commute last night (55 miles) took 4 hours and 15 minutes!!!



Regards,
Cal

Got over 15 inches in NYC, D2 did great going down unplowed street with snow almost upto my knees! I did get stuck on snow embankment/ice by getting highsided, no fun.

This was so much fun - made all the issues I've had with this Disco well worth it. The feeling you get when the light turns green at an intersection filled with spun-out/stuck/sliding cars as you accelerate through it as if on dry pavement is totally priceless - as is the looks you get from all those drivers haha.

I've done stuff with the Disco the past 2 days that I would never have dreamed of with any other car. I pulled out of traffic to turn off onto a side road (gave up on the previous road which was a parking lot for hours) OVER the plow pile and onto untouched snow for a few hundred yards.. awesome stuff.

Almost got stuck backing into a parking spot (directly over a plow pile) back axle got over it and I got beached hah, slight miscalculation in height. Anyways, for all you SLS haters.. this made vindicated my decision NOT to retrofit to coils... I hit the off-road height button and backed right over the rest of the pile lol. =)
