It was quite an experience driving in that. The back wheels spun at every stoplight, regardless of how little throttle I applied. Additionally, when going up a small hill, the back end of the car would slide out a little. The bad thing is that it did this constantly. Turning was okay, as long as you took it slow. I ended up driving home and taking the 4Runner.
So the lessons here are:
1) If you don't have snow tires on your 135 when it is snowing, keep it in the garage.
2) Don't listen to Colorado weathermen/women.

Yea, I meant to post and ask how you 135 owners fared in that storm. Reminded me how much I love my AWD suv with A/T knobby tires for those few days. Which station said 1-2", I had heard 8-15" prior to it coming in.
