    Over confidence killed the cat or something to that effect. 4WD gets you going. It does not help you stop.

    You almost took out that pole, luckily that didn't side swipe you. Yeah man don't drive in snow like that at 50 mph or above, you're likely to fish tail, Luckily you regained control. Happy You're okay. But next time stay in the plowed section

    Looks like you might have been going a tad faster than road conditions dictate.

    Good to see you’re ok.

    I routinely go 70 MPH plus in 4 high in my F150 and Tacoma. In snow covered roads there isn't going to be any driveline bind
