    I will be going out to test the new B8 Quattro we just for 6 days ago. For the last 2 winters I have driven my Merc 4Matic and is quite good. Difference as I remember from my old B6 is that Quattro feels like a tank and 4Matic is very subtle. None of the two have let me down even in the worse conditions.

    Looking at the weather channel now and your area looks like is going to get hit hard too specially with the winds. Get ready to be pounded but go out and have fun but play safe.

    For once, we're missing all of the fun in Buffalo. It's just cold. I wonder how many plows we'll end up sending downstate this year.

    Here in JC, the mayor which happens to be my neighbor combined sanitation, public works and incineration and combined he has over 100 plows and salt/brine spreaders. That's a pretty decent number for a small city.

    You just gave me an idea. How creating a thread to show our rides in the snow as long as it is safe and the weather conditions in your area?

    That is a good number for a small city; no doubt there. When I lived in MA, I swear they used F150s to plow 90, but invested in LED sign boards that advised of winter weather with a 45mph speed limit and did nothing to actually plow.

    Hope you're all running winter tires. Those stock Pirelli's are as useless as any all season tire in the snow.

    P6 is an all around shit tire, with a history of sidewall failure. DWS are OK when new, but once partially worn they are scary.

    If you are used to older quattros, just be aware that B8s can be a bit more tail happy in the snow due to the rear wheel bias Torsen center diff. I miss my 87 4000 quattro, that car was a beast in the snow compared to the B8.
