LOL! I live in Racine, WI and was stuck in the same storm, although we got a bit more snow. My wife and I were out about noon and thought we'd be home before it broke. There was just a dusting on the ground and the car was all over the place with the traction on all the time. About an hour later there was 2" of snow and I decided to take her out on the streets of my condo complex and see what was what. Every time it stopped, it was stuck, and I have the best all-around rated all seasons on the market on her for the winter. With the new wheels the rear track is no longer square with the front though, so that was contributing to the problem, drive wheels having to plow snow the fronts haven't packed yet. I ordered spacers last night to correct that problem. Along with that I'm going to add some ballast over the rear axle. We'll see what happens. Along with the quote above, I took my VR6 GLI jetta out a bit later with Dunlop Wintersport M3's, TCS, ESP, and a six speed and blew the doors off all the suv's and trucks in 5" of snow. It's funny watching the VW crush the XF when it's yours, but would be a bit depressing if it were your neighbor's. My boss got pissed last year when his truck was stuck in a foot of snow we got during work and my jetta blasted out of its parking space, through a 3' drift and proceeded to tow his truck out.
