Hello Everyone. First time post-er, long time reader! I am going to be buying an Element sometime this year and I am wondering how she will handle in the snow, especially since I will be traveling to my hometown of Buffalo, NY which gets more than their share! I was hoping to start a thread here where you all could post pics of your E's in the snow. Also, any observations and tips about driving them in the snow would be appreciated! Once again, hello to everyone and thanks in advance for all your advice!

It was actually fun to drive in the mess.

Handles just fine on the inclines and white stuff. :D
It was snowing the day I got it, and I think I've driven it more days IN snow than in sun. (odd for Colorado...honest)
Here's the pics I posted elsewhere from my first trip in the Rockies.

I love how it handle the snow and ice. Here, one day it is -30 with a foot of snow, the next its +10 with 6 inches of slushy snow. I love the feeling of control I have.

This is my favorite pic, take a week after I bought it.

I didn't realize when I started this thread that there were already a fair amount of snow pics already posted. I do want to try and collect them here, but I don't want to inconvience you all who have posted by having you post the same pics again (although it's greatly appreciated). Nor did I want to chew up space on the server with redundant pics. So, having said that, any pics that you all would like to share of your E's in the snow and you wouldn't mind using to help me build this thread, your help is appreciated! Thanks to you members that have posted already in this thread. Just looking at your E's makes me want to go out and buy one tomorrow! Excellent shots, keep em' comming! Thanks - Adam :oops:
