That was fun. Driving in the snow.

Just went over to check out the family homestead. A neighbor had plowed about halfway up the driveway (250ft drive) and left a large pile of packed snow and ice there, higher than the hood.

Drove right through it, and continued on in the drive. Drove back to the sheds and then went wheeling around the back. It was a blast. The front bumper laughed at the ice dam and the Goodyear Silent Armors are so much better in the snow than the OEM BFG's that it is not even funny. No way would I have tried to go into that with the BFG's. Even in 4WD.

Anyway, had a blast. The truck acted like there wasn't even any snow there. The traction was so good that I couldn't do donuts. Shame. That would have been fun.
