We have gotten about 6" of snow in Central Mississippi overnight. For some people, that is nothing. We haven't seen this amount of snow in 25 years down here. The V did great getting to work, but I couldn't go over 45 due to the slushy roads.

I feel bad for those that have to deal with this every year. And I do not like the people in Sunny California that call me and brag about getting a sunburn at the beach today. You know who you are...

We got 40+ inches here.... yea 40+ in VA.

Crazy.... almost got stuck several times.... sure wish where was an LSD option.

good tires do help. The OEM ones would of not moved.

My neighbor has a 09 Versa sedan 1.6 riding on OEM wheels. She had to get pulled out(by truck) and then got stuck 20ft away. needless to say...that car has not moved in 5 days.

I'm very impressed with how well the V does in snow. It does much better than the Altima I previously owned.

Here in central VA we got 56 inches and so long as there isn't 24 or more inches of snow on the road the V handles great with snow tires on. No slipping or sliding and great traction all around.

I noticed with 30 inches of snow on the road my front bumper became a snow plow. But i guess that is expected with the sports pkg.

Just don't get yourself into a snow drift! I hear that's really sucks. And I agree on the SoCal group........I hope they run out of sun screen!

I'm looking out my window as I type this and it is snowing quite heavily right now. Reading your post about the 80 degree weather. Gonna talk to the weatherman and see if I can arrange for a few feet to be diverted to your area next week super, so please return the favor and send some of that 80 degrees this way....lol. The V is pretty good in the slippery snowy crap here.
