Why snow tires are worth having........................

This afternoon drove along a road here in NJ, snowing heavily, and got to a fairly steep hill where the road surface had iced/slushed over. There were about 10 cars stuck on this hill and unable to move. Pulled our 9000 Aero with fairly worn Gislaved NordFrost II snow tires (tires are seven years old with probably 25,000 or so miles on them), into the passing lane and just trucked on by the stuck vehicles - never saw so many totally puzzled looks as were on the faces of the drivers wondering how my car managed to get up that hill.
Wife just looked at me at we went up the hill and said "now I really believe in why you want those snow tires on the car!"
Great feeling to be driving an "ultimate winter car!"
