I hate snow, totally useless. This past Sunday had the C6 out for an ice ream run, this week battery tender time. Well it needs a polish/wax job anyway. Oh did I mention, "I HATE SNOW"!!!!

I had a 1973 C3 coupe when I lived up north in Ohio 30 years ago.
Drove it all winter and it was like a tank in the snow, I also had a F-150 pickup with
snow tires and weight in the bed which my wife drove.
My wife made me trade for the C3 because it was so much better in the snow.
Doesn't seem possible does it?
My buddy had a '73 manual, mine was an auto and his was the same way, never ever
even tried to get stuck, they would just go!
The snow would come up the hood, and peel off at the windshield!
True story! They were a tank in the winter.
The C6 is reported to be undriveable in any snow, ice conditions.
They just travel sideways.
I have no experience with these conditions, I live in South Florida, but I did see a winter video.

I'm also hoping the stuff melts, we head to FL in a few weeks and I'd like to leave my summer PS2 runflats on the car instead of switching to the A/S. Putting A/S tires on the car to get through the first 600 miles, and then having to keep them for the next 6,000 miles down south, is a PITA. But better than ending up in the ditch.

I drive my vette all year round snow and all. My black c6 cleans up every week just fine.
GM built them as year round vehicles and it works.
If need be shovel the driveway,have it plowed and have fun. When you get to Florida, just wash and wax

My F-body car doesn't even move if there is white stuff on the ground. Not from a lack of trying. My tires are 275/40/17 on all corners.

That pic looks like my place. 1 inch last night and another 4 inches this afternoon, 7000 feet in So. Cal. Oh, I hate snow too. Even more than the snow are the crushed volcanic cinders (used instead of salt). These cinders love corvette paint!
