I really shouldn't have poked at you on this one (afterburner comment). I've been there too, but not with a MINI. My last time was with a Honda Accord. There were huge snow drifts across the road on the two mile 'back way' to my country house. I may have made it all the way except two cars had the road blocked side by side. Once I came to a stop my goose was cooked. Had to leave it there and walk the last 1/2 mile. When I came back the next morning, I was buried.
Not fun digging it out.

I do not get the whole leave your car and just go home. If you were stupid enough to be out on the road you should stick with your car until help arrives. Carry some extra cloths and supplies. When People just leave there cars the roads become totally blocked. Emergeny vehicles and 4x4 are prevented from accessing peopel in need. It is just plain stupid. If you do nto have the tires or driving skills park it. Get a hotel room. Why just block the road because you made a bad decision. Stares should impound the cars and $500 fine. That would get the message out to be responsible. I have been caught before too. I stuck to slow side streets and thought ahead about where all the hills are. We have a storm coming this afternoon in Seattle.
They have been warned for a week now but you will see parking lots all over the freeways tonight on the national news. Get Blizztacs, Cable Chains or learn how to drive. You never see this in Montana or the upper Mid West.
City Slickers. Give me a Mini with Blizztac's I will go places soccer mom's in SUV's can't go. Until you start plowing with the front end that is. In MT it is light snow but you can't see for the constant stream coming over the hood.
Drive smart out there people. I have rescued many of stcuk motorists over the years on snowmobiles. Drifted in over the doors. Best one- " He was going to the post office to mail a letter". I was lilke you moron you risked your life to mail a letter. Where do you think that letter was going to go during a blizzard. Here's your sign!

Going to snow today and I have to pick my JCW from the detailers, I might wait. They will be leaving there cars everywhere in the streets by 6PM. I snowmobile alot so play in the snow often. I hate the just leave my car and
go home crowd. Fit right in here in the Seattle area. They do drive good in the rain here. Was just in Miami and they should come here to practice.
Not sure how good being froozen into a snow bank is on the car and paint.
Some people just do not car. 20+ K investment and just leave it there to what ever happens. Your correct Fever! I have no vitamin D in my system.
On a weekly massive dose for 3 months. I need to visit the sun. Was in Miami last week and it was colder there than when I got home to Seattle. My luck.
Oh look WI and CT the next two weeks for travel. Doesn't look much brighter.
AZ is sounding good.

And then it rains some more…… That snow ain't happening, never does when they actually think they see in coming in the NW. Lived here all my life, you just have to get out all seasons no matter what. Just got in from my daily walk - a bit chilly but dry!
You should have seen Snoqualmie Pass on Sunday afternoon - they lifted the chains requirment - yet a good dozen people were chaining up anyway! Pretty sure I saw chains on the rear of a front wheel drive car to boot.... And I-90 on West slope was mostly clear and bare! Anyone who knows how to drive and has decent tires should pretty much never have to chain-up a front wheel drive car.

Now that is kool......... Beats the rusty shovels I lug around over the Pass. Would add to shopping list......... if it wasn't for the bad reviews on the river....... Is cheaper there.......
On eBay too.

REI might be a better source......
