I test drove the Edge a few times and came very close to leasing one. A used car deal from a friend ended up being too good to pass up however. The Edge really impressed me as well, very nice ride, interior and styling. My wife loved that panoramic vista sunroof, very nice. There are quite a few on the roads here in Michigan and I've heard all positives so far. I am guessing you had the all wheel drive version since you loved it in the snow so much.
There is a pretty cool video on the Edge at this link : Ford Edge test drive video - they drove it around the old El Toro Marine Corps Base air strip.
