    My drive in to work was early enough that there were very few other drivers out. I usually worry more about the other drivers than my own driving.

    Speck did just fine, though I slipped and slid around more than I wanted. In fact one traffic signal turned yellow as I was approaching the intersection. I tried to come to a stop but the antilock braking activated and there was no way I was going to stop in time so I rolled through. I was going too fast to be able to stop in time. Can't blame the Mirage for that.

    The Mirage is fine in snow but not magical that's for sure!
    I watched someone follow a semi through an intersection seconds after it turned red. The red light camera flashed, I'm not sure which one got their picture taken. I found a piece of white metal siding, bent it at 90 degrees and slid it behind my plate in the hopes of avoiding such tickets. I don't make a habit of blowing through red lights but there are a few intersections that have speed and red light cameras so you're screwed if you speed up to avoid a red and you're even worse off if you don't speed through.

    I did the same thing as you once this season already, attempted to stop but quickly realised that I'll end up in the middle of the intersection like an idiot if I kept trying to stop so blew right through.

    In Minnesota (USA). Snow has been moderate. The Fuel Economy Log is like a mini-Mirage Diary lol, fun to read what it's been through. From the past 2 years, it feels like we've been getting 'snowed-on' a bit later than usual (more snow in Feb-March and into early april). I remember getting a lot more snow in December, but thats just my memory. Snow seems "normal" I guess. But definitely not as much as last year's snow.

    As for the cold, right now, it's a bit warmer than usual. We haven't gotten the 2 weeks of -10°F (with the windchill of -20°F to -35°F) temps yet. So, at least thats okay. I can handle 25°F degree weather for now lol

    Still nothing worth noting in SE New Brunswick. Maybe 18" on the ground, sunny and cool today, rainy and like 8 degrees called for tomorrow...

    Absolutely nothing compared to last year.
