Who's planning to drive their Bronco Sport during and immediately after Winter Storm Ember?

Technically, I should've answered yes, since I will be driving my Bronco Sport during the storm. However, since I live in California, it won't be the same.

When we had Hurricane Hilary, I thought about going out, but didn't want to be That Guy that needed help from emergency services cause I was stupid.

Now, AFTER the storm, once the roads are clear, that's always fun. Based on a limited sample size, Bronco Sports are puddle monsters.

Depends on the amount of snowfall. A/T tires do better in snow and ice but you still don't want to be the guy that has to be saved. We also have a ton of trees and power lines around here which means you can have obstructed/non-navigable roads and downed power lines, so usually it's not a great idea to go out until at least the roads have been somewhat cleared (they also pretreat, but if we get 8+ inches, it will accumulate no matter how much pretreating there is).

Driving the 10 hours from Florida back to my house in the mountains of NC tomorrow. Can't wait to see what I run into!

I think your poll needs a 4th option entitled:
What the hell is Winter Storm Ember?

meanwhile, I voted yes because I love driving my Sport every day, no matter the weather but I especially like it in snow.

Unfortunately, this storm isn't going to be as bad up here just north of Toronto but we will get a bunch and that will facilitate a drive further up north to play in the snow.

The Weather Channel started naming winter storms like the NOAA names Hurricanes... it's kind of dumb but it makes it easier to talk about on social media, especially when the storms are much stronger than expected.

Well looks like nothing but rain for me, we soon shall see.

Unfortunately it looks like pretty much all rain for us close to Philly. I'll be out in it for a bit but probably just navigating rain.

The Falkens are great in the snow. It's all the other drivers I worry about!
