Ya, the cape got hammered this weekend. They got around 2+ feet of snow while inland only got about 10". Kind of a freak weather pattern that was very similar to the lake effect off of the great lakes. Normally the cape gets slush while inland gets the snow. Very nice truck by the way. Makes me wish mine was a 4x4.

You know, living in Houston, we got a lot of snow dumped on us, beginning of December, but nothing like that! I cannot imagine driving in that soup; just look how fast those tires get impacted with snow... gotta be seriously dangerous driving in those conditions.

Houstonian's can drive on anything except dry and hot pavement.
I've been there enough to know this for a fact.
The skiff (small amount) of snow you guys got didn't even stick to the roads. Hahah.
Most of Houstonian's can't even drive in rain, let alone snow.
It's alright, I'll be the first to admit I couldn't figure out how to turn on the A/C in the rental truck when I was in Houston. The little snowflake button in Canada means defrost, winter traction control or cold start-up.

driving on the white stuff is no big deal... stopping is what takes the skill lol...
the tires look loaded up but actually plenty of tread is usually still avail. to get grip. The problem is when you get ice underneath the snow then it gets to be fun...

Maybe there's some conspiracy. The US govt changed the standard meaning of the snowflake from defroster/traction control/cold weather start up,etc. to Air Conditioning to confuse Canadians entering the US, and prevent illegal immigration from the North.

lol! I never knew they had different meanings for the snowflake. That's actually pretty funny, if you think about it.

Be careful who you say that to. You may just disappear into the night!

This happened to me on the way into work at 2:30 am this morning. The roads were lightly coated (1/4-1/2" of snow over black ice). I noticed someone in a ditch about 1/4 mile ahead of me at a lighted intersectiion. I 'easily' backed off the gas and found myself drifting sideways. Counter steered left and right and ended up facing north in the southbound lane. I much prefer the heavier snow to drive in. Only missed work once in 25+ years due to weather (last year). The bed of my truck gets loaded w/400-600 pounds weight until spring rolls around. I have since changed my briefs.
