Unusual for Tennessee anyway, descent snow fall, temperatures in the teens during the day, only 1 or 2 snow plows around for the entire county. Basically, just roads of solid ice about 1 to 2 inches think in most places.
I've driven around during conditions like this in my Gen 1 Leaf and was surprised how well it would drive. This is the first time driving around in my Gen 2 Leaf and it was actually even better. I have the same tires on both the Gen1 and Gen 2, Bridgestone Ecopia brand tires. Famous here for good efficiency during the warmer months, but not that great in snow or ice.
The video is just my dash cam. It sits forward on the windshield, so it makes it appear to be closer to objects than I really drive, along with the speed looks faster, but I assure you, I'm not moving that fast over the ice. Speeds average from 20 mph to 30 mph in the video. What I do during snow and ice driving is lower all my tires to 36 PSI from the usual +40 PSI to help a little with traction.
This is one of the few video segments I don't have people crashing in trucks, so a little more pleasant. :?
I don't know why people in trucks need to race the Leaf, I just drive at the speed that feels stable.
