Mazda 5 touring
So we here in Beaverton,OR got a good amount of snow today so i took a pic of the car and a good hit to my son with a snowball. Also got to test out how good the car runs in the snow and tell you i'm very pleased on the performance on going up hwy 26 out by us it's a steep hill and got around most of the (screwy) people that don't know how to drive in the snow, then i got to play(wrc) in the parking lot next to our apt. anyway here are the pics take more when i can.

Do you have snow tires or all-seasons on? I have a question about your ABS - does it almost feel like a metallic grinding when you step on the pedal and start to slide? I've kinda written that off as "how it is" but I've never had a car with ABS before.

My colleagues disagree. They sent me this earlier in the year :D:

Friday's new problems developed after a capricious snowstorm Thursday that arrived sooner than anyone expected – and disappeared just as quickly – dumped up to 9 inches of snow in some corners of North Texas, hitting Cooke and Denton counties the hardest.

Dallas, Fort Worth and Arlington were largely spared. But before the storm spun off to the east, it forced airlines to cancel hundreds of departures from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport; shut down schools, businesses and government buildings; and caused nightmarish conditions on some area highways, particularly in Denton County.

I have all season on but I also got them siped from Les Schwab and I would say yes when I step on the pedal it kinda feels that way
 
So it looks like we will get about 6-10 inches on Saturday the some freezing rain also so hope i will get some new pics god I'm starting to hate this because we don't get that much snow here in Oregon and the wife is pregnant and about ready to POP(hand) ,so hope she doesn't have him this weekend because iI have to go up a bad hill to get to the hospital but will see what happens.
 
Oh man.....wish I bought my camera today. When I went home this afternoon, my GS was totally covered and I had to scrape at least a foot of snow off the roof. From a far, it looked like I had a Ford Van parked in my spot.
 
yeah just overnight we got another 2-3 of snow so our total is about 8 inches then we got 1 inch of ice and got more ice on the way
