This is exactly what I'm talking about.
The slushy stuff is pretty much water, which isn't terrible.
It's the soft snow/ice stuff we get when the temps go up to 1/2C in the day and drop back down to 0 at nighttime.
When you run into that stuff on the Coq, it's a completely different demon than that of the snow you run into in the interior where it always stays below 0.
I've yet to find a tire that can effectively deal with that type of snow, guess that's pretty much why we have a TV show (Highway Thru Hell) that documents these unique conditions we deal with over here.
We'll see how these C2s end up faring on some of those night drives back around Agassiz from ski trips this winter, that area can be a total nightmare at times.
