Your Blackwing in the snow

[Throat Yogurt]

This is a thread to post photos of your Blackwing in the snow. After the first snowstorm of the year here in the mid-Atlantic, I headed out to see if I could get my Blackwing stuck in a partly-plowed nearby parking lot. It turns out that I couldn't, and my all-season winter setup is performing well enough. If you are one of those unfortunate pearl-clutching old ladies who stores your Blackwing for the winter, a) I feel sorry for you, and b) this is not your thread.

Post away!

Did you plow your driveway with it? I had that suggested to me last week after we got hit with a few inches.

Wish I had thought of that.

I got to see the "ABS activated" notification for the first time going down the hill of my development. Would have been cool except that road "T"s into a four lane divided highway so a minor bit of pucker was experienced. But I was now FULLY awake for the rest of the drive into work.

Sorry.. Should have thought of this when I drove into work early this AM. My night ended just a bit ago taking my son home from winter baseball workout after his wrestling match. Here's my car warming up outside the baseball training facility tonight about 20 minutes from @Throat Yogurt.
My Vredestein square Winter set up had no problems in 21 degree weather with icy/snowy roads.

So ur pretty comfortable driving with snows in the 5BW? I always wondered if I got a square setup would it be good enough to drive around in MN.

Totally .. Only been stuck in my own driveway a couple times before I shoveled. The plow technique mentioned above did not work for me
This is my 4th winter with my 5bw as my daily closing in on 50k.
I feel comfortable driving in snowy weather no problem.

Why does this "baseball training facility" look exactly like a no-tell motel in Pennsauken? Why does it say pervert on the door? I have questions!
