Looks like we gots a little over 3 inches looking out the window. The current temp is 30°F so nothin I can see is actually melting. But I can't see any roads exceot my neighborhood street in front of my house. It has packed ruts that may or may not be ice Don't know about the more trafficed streets.

Remember gettin out with these slick roads when I had my Passat. It actually got around really well. It had traction control and ABS and was front wheel drive. But was passed up by a big suburban. It had smashed into another vehicle by the time I got to the next intersection 1/2 mile away. Guess it don't matter how fast you can get going if you can't stop!

Noticed on my Cayenne before you can engage the transfer case in four wheel drive, it engages a gear reduction. So it limits how fast you can get going in four wheel drive. And it is very rare to find a Cayenne you can lock the front diff, so there is always one front wheel that does not slip so you can steer. That is how my old GMC Jimmy 4x4 was. Don't remember ever having a 4x4 that the front dif locked.
