I couldn't tell you since I only drive it when the streets are dry and salt/gravel free. But Alex (aleventhal) could fill you in.

I have a bunch of experience with this:

-400i (#049773) on bald TRX: Undriveable! Can not go up a gradual incline in one inch of snow - had to make a u-turn (carefully) and go home.

-400i on Bridgestone Blizzak: Fabulous. Go anywhere in any weather. What a difference. Drove it 130 miles in an ice storm a couple of weeks ago - no problems. Would not hesitate to drive it in a blizzard. As good on the blizzaks as my wife's audi allroad quattro witih regular all seasons -actually better on ice (to be expected with blizzak) but worse in deep snow (clearance) or really steep hills.

-Dino on XWX (#10704): Never meant to drive the Dino in the snow - this was a "fall folliage tour" gone awry. Anyway, car did fine - had to go slow, but the dino with XWX is much better than the 400 with bald TRX - I guess the mid engine layout helps alot. No problem going up hills, etc. in falling snow with accumulations of 1 to 3 inches. Same thing happened when I went up mount Greylock in my old 365gt (#13141) - snowing at the top, but no problems.

Hope this helps,

Alex

Awesome picture! What's particularly interesting is that I don't see anyone behind the wheel, nor do I see footprints in the snow. It's like the two Ferraris decided to go for a joyride in the snow.

Are they hiding at the frontseat?
