I may get flamed for this, but I can explain. I've lived in Las Vegas area for almost my whole life, it never snows here, and we wear t-shirts all year long

This year was definitely a change as we were hit with at least 6" of powder, everywhere!

I thought I could get out of my neighborhood with only an inch or so on the road, but it didn't happen. NO TRACTION, even in winter mode. If the road wasn't at a decline, I wasn't going anywhere unless it was in reverse. This was with TC on and OFF, with the ESP grandmas going freaking crazy every time the car moved.

Long story short, I got stuck in my own neighborhood and couldn't make it back home while other vehicles drove around without too many problems. I never could have imagined that the car wouldn't even make it up a 1% grade with snow like that. Anyways, I have been humbled (but I'm not worried - it will probably be 60 something degrees in the daytime in a week or so)
