So absolutely true, people still havent figured out that anything in snow will not handle like it will on dry pavement. And they also havent figured out that 4x4 only helps you get going, wont help you stop.....

Be safe and enjoy the scenery

Lucky son-of-a-gun. Wish I was there so I could go do donuts in a parking lot somewhere.

Nice pics! We got around 3-4". I was out playing around last night for a few hours with my awd car. Great times! Gonna go plow some snow now.

Reminds me of a saying I heard not long ago: Plows on the ground, plows on the ground, driving like a clown with the plow on the ground.
