We have elevated roadways that get closed and it makes it a chore to get to work.

We have had pretty much the same weather for the last few days, nothing spectacular. Our temps now are probably similar to what you have.

That's going to make things nice and slippery. I went out of town yesterday afternoon. We have a good coating of snow here. Less than an hour down the road none. The only way you could tell it was winter was the snow on the mountains and the fruit stands being closed.

We had ice yesterday and about shut down everything. It really wasn't too bad but schools closed early.

I try to avoid highway travel in the winter. I know if there is going to be a storm it's going to happen once I get to the point of no return.
Our streets aren't too bad. The highway was pretty good too. This highway gets a fair bit of traffic so it clears up pretty quickly.

My son, who confiscated the other truck said it paid for itself. Was going up hill and started getting loose on the ice. He had his baby girl with him. He said he flipped it into 4hi and it just gathered itself up and went up the hill.

That's a good story.
I don't use it a lot but I do love my 4 wheel drive.
