Ah-yup.

4x4 won't help if you when metric farkloads of snow/ice hit the side of your vehicle!

 

Climate is what you expect; weather is what you get.

 

My bad , the looming war on science in the US has me on edge

 

I was wondering if that was up in Wyoming outside of Jackson Hole. Apparently they did some blasting and it went off bigger than anticipated and might have buried some cars. I would not want to be caught in that slide though....

 

Nope, It was in Santiam Pass in Oregon

 

is this a @fynflood spotting?

 

Time for good snow wheeling

 

No worries.

I liked driving in the fresh snow in Canada ... but when it got dirty, slushy and salty ... it was no fun.

Never realized how important good windshield washers were until I was in Canada.

HAHA! Nope - not this time

 

Could be @Kev O though!

 

Looks like every other day up here in canada lol. Wont driving in 2wd in the winter unless you put weight in the bed.

 

Haha, not me but it could have been! Was snow shoeing the day before at potato hill, which is about a hundred yards from there.

The day I was up there we were walking through mostly 2 ft of powder, with drifts near the summit that were close to 4ft deep! That night and the next day a storm hit that dropped another 12"+ . That resulted in the 3 avalanches coming down the adjacent hill, Hogg Rock, covering HWY 20.
