Not to be too much of a wet blanket here, but please folks remember you 
still have the same brakes even though you have "go" on all four wheels.

Good snow tires help with braking and cornering, too, of course, but 
don't let your ability to "go" make you overconfident about your ability 
to "stop" and "turn".

And to be even crankier, it is, as always, dangerous to travel at a 
large speed differential to the traffic around you.

Not that you shouldn't be having fun!

My quattro on Hakkas is indoors staying clean and dry; the '78 K20 with 
8' plow is parked right outside my front door.  An hour of plowing later 
is all the snowstorm fun I need to look forward to, especially 
considering we have more snow already than this whole winter combined.
