We normally don't get too much snow out here in Western WA, but we got dumped on yesterday and more forecast for this weekend. I made it in the snowstorm to the park & ride (20 mile drive on two lane highways) where I catch a vanpool yesterday morning, and since we heard it was worse on the other side of the Puget Sound, we decided to go back home (my shop manager rides this vanpool :happy055 :) . Another manager closer to the shop had his pickup slide its way down his driveway overnight

The shop ended up closing later in the day. My F-body did quite nicely in the stuff (the same one I put the black painted wheels on with all-weather tires). I was even able to climb the hill home without having chains or studs, and this prior to sand and gravel being applied to the hills and intersections (we don't use salt).
Today, I thought was better for driving, but as soon as we made it to work, they closed the building and sent everyone home because of "inclement weather." Now with the forecast for this weekend, it looks as if Monday will be a snow day too, then If they do the same for Tuesday, I'll have the rest of the year off for vacation
