Snow fun

[2022RamRebel]

We got hit with 14” of snow on Sunday up here in Maine. I wanted to test the Rebel on a 3 mile back road . I was honestly shocked I didn’t get stuck!

with fresh powder and correct tires (which you have) you shouldn't get stuck.

i'd be more concerned about ice (please don't test on ice!)

Amen! I drive like a grandfather during snow storms. I’d be depressed if my truck hit anything

I was gonna drive yesterday and see how the Pirellis did with some miles on it, but since it's going to be 50 degrees tomorrow and rain said screw it, keep my truck salt free and clean another day.

I love going and playing jmin the snow. Didn't get out in time today to have much fun. Heat stuff came overnight and by the time I got up a d got driveway cleaned, most of the roads and parking lots were cleared. This is from last year. The Radar Renegade AT-Pro do very well in the snow

oh yeah i had it once when i was coming down the trail on a hill on the shade side of the mountain and the snow melted and became ice.
then i got some tourists coming up the hill, knowing full well that we got a convoy half way down the hill already and insisted on starting their climb. I was loosing grip on the way down and these mofos in those bro-dozer builds were taking half of the trail at the narrow part. When I got down and parked i hiked up while waiting for the rest of the convoy and cussed them out, asking what the hell were they thinking when our lead told them there's a convoy on the slope already and it's icy and they kept going instead of waiting on the bottom.

I left with "did my lead guy not talk to you in English or are you guys trying to make accident happen so you can claim insurance on your junk build?"

Nope. Not familiar with this. I don't know where you're getting your info from but it's going to be 65 tomorrow.

Your storm is headed my way on Friday. Saying up to 12” but we’ll see. We’ve been let down before. Yesterday is a prime example. Predicted 13” and we got 5”.

For this area, combined with the 50mph winds. That's on top of the 6 inches we got Saturday, and 2" today. It's good, we haven't had this much snow in such a short period of time for several years, and are in drought conditions region wide

Wait, that was from driving?
Were you going grill into snow or something? that's an impressive amount of snow inside there, good job!

Busting through 2-3' snow drifts on unplowed roads. We had 8"-10" of snow with 40-50mph winds. The aftermarket front bumper probably aided with the snow getting up into the engine bay.
