At the end of it - 41" of snow, with drifts up to 6 feet. In Denver!
It took 3 hours of shoveling yesterday just to get to where I could get the rig out. But I made good use of the locker and 4low yesterday pulling other lesser vehicles out of huge amounts of snow and slush/water, and having fun driving around where the minivans dare not tread. 
Managed to get a 4runner stuck for the first time in my life (been driving them in snow and off road for 9 years now, between my own and my dad's). One thing about the awesome 4wd capability, is that when you use it and manage to bury yourself, you don't have a lot of options left. We were trying to get to this car that was about 7 feet into a snowbank, and I was knocking it down progressively closer and closer so as to avoid shoveling 7x10feet of snow. I got a little happy with it I guess, and tried to take out too much at once instead of a little at a time, after getting about 4 feet into it... :pat: High centered the crap outta that thing!
Though my undercarriage is scrubbed clean from the snow now. heh. I made the person I was pulling out dig out the runner too...
I was fairly impressed with how well it did though, even with semi-bald tires.I was wishing I had the $$ to get those MTR's from Darren a month ago however, that would have been a lot of fun playing around in this stuff! Snow? Bah. Bring it.

I also got to play in that snow storm only I live in Cheyenne Wyoming. This is my first 4runner, and first snow storm with this vehicle. It was great I couldn't stop smiling as I drove around town. I think my wife thinks I'm crazing. I love my 4runner
