In 1991 on Halloween we got 46.9" of snow in one day. I was 8 years old. Still went trick or treating tho

I was in OKC for thanksgiving when we got that 2014 Blizzard. Drove my 02 Mustang GT with 315's in the rear. it snowed before I left. Took me 9.5 hours from OKC to DFW and was backwards 3 times. Put a for sale sign on it the next day and had a WRX within the week. Lol.

I don't blame you, that gen mustang doesn't handle well in the best of circumstances, much less that blizzard. As deep as the snow was on the roads I was taking, the radiator air dam on my Formula would have acted like a snow plow.

Up to 6" in the last 3 hours at my place right now.

Islander, you getting blasted too?

I've driven every imaginable config of vehicle through Canadian Prairie winter storms. Slipping is normal, no matter AWD, snow tires or not, it's a snow storm after all. It's how you control it

islander033

no, just big wind here.

My Evo was incredible in the snow/ice. The variable center diff did all the work, I could drive like a complete moron and the car would make up for it. The WRX understeered really bad for some reason. Havent seen snow at all since I bought a 4wd truck lol.

There is no doubt certain AWD systems are better than others.

We have had 9 different AWD units, the worst being the POS GMC Terrain FWD based system.

All will still slip, it all about weight, kinetic energy, and coefficient of friction between the tires and snow/ice/road. My favorite system so far has been our previous BMWs. I haven't owned any small Jap cars, but weight actually is a benefit in traction in the snow, except in terms of kinetic energy that you are trying to turn/rotate, lol.

Lmao that guy only lives about 1 hour from me in Arkansas. Well I suppose he won't be residing in Arkansas any longer, but he did. He has been bad so he must be punished now.

He left her a quarter for the envelope ya know, cause he ain't no thief!

wasn't me as i had to quarantine as per my new job recommendation.


As far as 4x4 and snow goes. Best thing I've ever driven in the snow was my old k5. Yall can have all that awd ****. It had lockers front and rear a 406 for plenty of power 35" mud terrain tires and major articulation. It was nearly unstoppable because once the tire pressure was lowered to 10-12 psi it would get up on top of the snow more than go through it.

After one snow there was a large "field " of snow at the end of the local chevy dealership. It had melted and froze several times but was still in the 4-6' range.....like waves of snow. My sister told me " I bet you can't cross that". Well she was wrong. It drove across about 50yrds of that ****. People on the main street driving by the dealership stopped to watch. It went across that **** nice and controlled. That thing was incredible in snow. I need to put a front locker in both my 2500hd. It has a rear locker oe.

The average person never drives in deep snow, even in Canada. So full locker lumbar wagons ride like **** and won't serve our family requirements.

We are talking about driving on roads, and yes, we just got 10+" of heavy snow, even accumulated on our road. But the highways were cleared multiple times during the snowfall so they got next to zero accumulations. To have a vehicle that can handle dry pavement, wet, snow, ice etc, and haul the family around - AWD is the answer.

Our GL had no trouble with the 10" on our side road. Next day, plow had it cleared.

FTR, I've driven plenty of full locking 4x4s on the farm in the snow - totally different application, and single purpose type vehicle - good in mud and deep snow, otherwise not fun to live with daily.

loved mine as a daily. It worked great. If you ever actually drove a full locked one you would know this. Now I'm not talking about Lincoln lockers....but a locker that works. Unlocks when it's supposed to and locks when it's supposed to.

people told me how it wouldn't work. Glad i did it for myself. Most don't know **** about ****.

Of course you loved it, you also drive a car with strategically placed holes all over. You should probably make sure you know what a locker vs limited slip is. Im sorry you can't drive a normal AWD vehicle but instead need a true 4x4 to make up for your inability as a driver.

HioSSilver

iTrader: (8)

that's right. Instead of doing dumbass **** like gutting the ******* car i drilled a few holes here and there to retain all aspects of comfort while losing weight. Good point. Even tho the holes didn't do much.....you know they did because you ******* know all don't ya.

My inability has a drive is smart enough to know that awd is for soccer moms. I guess you just so good with your diving ability you just overcome raw traction......boi ur gude

I'm glad Hio knows what I have and haven't driven, and that his knowledge of winter driving clearly exceeds my entire life of living in Canadian prairie winters which are obviously weak by comparison to his vast and extensive repertoire of driving...
