Snow Driving
 

We got pounded with snow here in NJ and I got a chance (not by choice) to
do some real driving in it. I had to do a 60 mile round-trip drive to pick
up my son. The trip to get him was in blizzard conditions. It was snowing
at least 2" per hour the entire time. The roads had been plowed of the
heavy stuff, but still had at least 6" on them. Visibility was near zero.

It's a 2006 Sonata GLS V6. I could have honestly guessed that I was
driving an all-wheel drive car. In fact, earlier in the morning I did
drive a 4x4 pickup on a drive to my work and home, and it was not much
better, although this was mostly back roads and were not plowed.

This is by far the best car I have owned for a snow event. And driving no
more than about 30 MPH gave me 28 MPG for this trip!

P.S. - We got 25" of snow with 5-6' drifts!! Everything around here is
still closed today.
