I woke up for college at 6.45 this morning, looked out the window, no snow, snoozed off for a while, woke up at 7.30am to a good covering, and stil coming down, by 9 i got to college and we'd had about 3inches, then got sent home, it stopped around 10am and has just started again

Not had any today yet in West Yorkshire. Sky looks full of it though so it might come down later.
Meant to snow tomorrow and Friday all day again

I've never seen anything like this, the snow is coming in over my wellies in some places 
I thought you only got weather like this oop-north?
This is a road
I drove the scooby in the snow for the first time.. It was a good crack! It finally put a smile on my face

Traction is brilliant, The ABS system is a bit of a joke though, its nigh on im possible to turn tight corners without going sideways.

They would if it had snow tyres and chassis set up for a snow stage.
The 225/40 tyres and rock hard suspension and stiff ARB`s on mine really dont help at all... the only advantage is the AWD gets you moving but once you have some momentum, steering & braking pretty much the same as any other car.
I did contemplate putting 4 get me home wheels on, as they are skinny like snow stage wheels

IMO WRX will be better in snow with its 50/50 torque split. The STi is 41/59 iirc, mine defo behaves more like a RWD car in the snow.
