So today in the perfect bad conditions, similar to the ones from the trip to Maine, I couldn't get up our driveway twice (once forward, once backward). The second time I backed up the thing it was okay (tip: FWD cars go uphill really well backward due to most of the weight on the front wheels which end up on the downhill side if you're going backward). Unplowed, with a good layer of slush.

Also, coming down the hill to the house I was in first gear, no brakes and the tires kept breaking loose. Road had been plowed but there was maybe 3" of snow on the road, with a nice layer of slush next to the road.

It was really slippery today, I think because the pavement was warm and everything was semi-melted next to it. I think it's better now, 5 hours later, because things are freezing.

This was in the Golf with the newer snows.

I cleared the driveway and called the Missus after the town plows cleared the road. She got home fine.
