The Snowpocalypse descended upon the East Coast this weekend, and when snow falls it encourages most people to stay off the roads. But we're not most people. What's your most heroic snow driving moment?
As we often do in these situations, we ask Wes Siler about his snowroics first as it's always wildly entertaining to think about him telling it in his hipster-tight jeans. His story involves snow tires, the frozen part of the northern Baltic Sea and a C6 Corvette. In order to "save time" people avoid the roads and take the sea because they're more direct routes and there are no speed limits. Of course, as Siler points out "the studs cause enough friction that you can't really get over 100 MPH." Yes, because most people hit 100 MPH in a 'Vette on an iced-over ocean and think "Boy, this isn't very fast."
Clearly, this is boring by comparison to your finest hour/s. Or is it? What moment of snow-driving is most heroic?
