Should have no issues, should check out my car and see why i "can" have issues LOL. Conti EWC's are great snow tires, wouldnt hurt to also drop the pressures to 15-20 psi as well for more tread width and traction

 

Sorry about the pre storm thread drift guys  :hug:

 

Was more a joke than serious.  When I got the car a few weeks ago I accepted the issues.  5" of clearance with 10" or so of snow is always a challenge, most of the roads around here are pretty poorly taken care of which is why I spend good money on winter rubber.  The regulars in this thread knew what I meant.  Yeah your car is out of the question, hope you have good winter walking shoes  :lmao:   Pressure that low is no good, that's how you ruin wheels.  Yeah so far these tires have been great - quiet(ish), great rain performance and solid up to 90.  We'll see about in snow soon enough.

Take a look at the track of the 700mb low on the RGEM and compare it to the 18z NAM and let me know what you think..

18z NAM

MGJ -- 1.58"

SWF -- 1.63"

POU -- 1.66"

FWN -- 1.51"

All Snow

These setups are frustrating here, im fairly significantly west of hpn where it can make a decent difference in the amount of snow vs sleet vs rain...but there are no real better locations to use.

NW burbs thread is bumpin lately lol nice to see, anyways the GFS has to have initialisation errors or something cause it's not looking pretty

You have the RGEM, NAM, Euro and Ukie on your side.  I really wouldn't worry about the GFS this close...
