ended up on a divider this morning with the t2..
luckily no front end damage...packed snow acted as a ramp..
normal 2 lane curve ended up as 1 lane ...left lane wasnt plowed....
it wasnt a gradual plow...fairly abrupt...
negotiated around it but lost traction....180 degrees later....
on a divider inches away from droppin to the oncomin traffic...
alignment issue now...

Close call, glad to hear nothing is too awful bad. They do that here in michigan sometimes too. I noticed it on I-696 near where it crosses I-75. Suddenly my lane is no longer there and I'm staring down a huge snow bank. Luckily it wasn't busy as I had to swerve over a lane and nearly ripped the front end off my car.

Glad to hear you are ok. Luckily all the snow around here is in the Mountains.
