There is no questioning the fact that this winter is one of the coldest and snowiest on record around the country, and Punxsutawney Phil says it isn’t close to being over yet.
The Federal Government has declared a snow emergency in Washington, D.C., closed down its offices for today as winter storm “Octavia” barrels through, as the Weather Channel describes, while the New England cities, particularly Boston, are reaching record levels of snow with weeks left to keep building.

Lamborghini’s Winter Accademia: Ultimate Ice Driving Experience is precisely what it sounds like it is. Participants in the 2015 event are able to learn how to best handle ice and snow driving in an Aventador LP 700-4 or Huracan LP 610-4, either of which is more than capable of handling the slippery terrain. Still don’t believe an exotic can handle the snow? Check out this video of a Gallardo tearing up a ski slope, and then make up your mind.

Though this Hummer H1 comes with 37″ Humvee auto-inflate tires, you won’t want to take the track kit off until spring’s arrival has been confirmed. The tracks manage to reduce the car’s PSI impact to below that of a human foot, meaning you can drive over soft, powdery slow or stay gripped in icy conditions without any issue.

Throw a set of snow tires on this puppy, set up your team of professional supervisors and find a wide open parking lot for this 911. With a 3.9-liter flat-six bolted in the rear and a low wide stance, you’ll keep your weight on the rear tires and stability under control while slipping sideways. Just be sure to take all the necessary precautions first.

Even after the snow has stopped falling, the black ice has melted and the salt is doing its job, it can be too terribly easy to skid out in a slush pile. Fortunately, the 2015 Quattroporte S Q4 offers Maserati’s sophisticated Q4 four-wheel drive system, which varies torque between all four wheels after analyzing road conditions and your driving style, meaning even the slushiest days won’t make you fishtail.
