Crazy weather...I agree. I'm ready for a really good snowstorm as well.

I hate freezing rain and ice though.

So I was wondering....How much snow on the ground would it take for you to be snowed in? For me, it's it can mention snow and I'll stay home (I'm a wus, and I'm okay with it). I know most of you think of snow as playground equipment. So I was just wondering...Foot of snow so roads can't get cleared? You're far enough out in the country it would take less cause roads don't get cleared (this I'd be jealous of)?

I live in a small town... 2 stop lights to be exact... Our business and my place of employment is .6 miles from home and the small town has one conveinience store and a gas station at each end.. We own 3 4 wheel drives and one of those has 43" tires on it... Dad has lives on other end of town and owns horses and 2 tractors... I challenge them to snow me in... I'm Guessing 3.5-4' I would consider it hard to get around and this town hasn't seen that much snow since 1977 so pretty sure I prob won't get to see that much lol

the 18" we got a few years ago didn't stop me on the roads, but i did end up stuck in a field trying to get a trailer out and had to be plowed out.

have yet to ever be snowed in, and would hate to see what it would take to do so. now Ice, thats a whole new animal. I recall an ice storm 8-9 years ago or so that covered everything. my brothers 94 Yota would not come up the slight grade of our driveway in it.

For being snowed in, it really depends on what the snow is like. You can plow through the light powdery stuff pretty easy but heavy and wet snow is a different story. Also depends on what is under the snow.

Used to live Northwest of Columbus and a few years ago got about 12" of snow with heavy drifting. There were streets in our subdivision that my K5 with 40" tires and lockers could not get down (well, with backing up and heavy throttle it would go about 3' forward at a time). Snow was over the bumpers and winch, and it was the very light powder type of snow.

I remember being snowed in as a kid back in the mid-80's. They let us out of school early because of the snow and before they got us home it was a blizzard and the bus finally ran off the road and got stuck. A state snowplow came by and pulled us out. We lived right on the edge of a small town and the next morning I remember watching my dad pull out of the driveway in our FJ-40 onto a state route, go about 20' and turn around and come back. Because of the blowing snow you couldn't tell from any distance but the road had at least 5-6' deep drifts in any direction as soon as you got away from the houses and into open farm fields. It took a day or two until the local stone quarry brought one of their big loaders through.

Several years ago I drove back from Harlan in what I would call a blizzard. By the time I got to 75 there was about 12 inches of snow on the ground. I was driving the 2 wheel drive F 250 I drive now and towing my Jeep. I had no problems I would do it again if I had to

Is that the 5.4 V8? My diesel is worthless in the snow, and worse on any soft ground. I guess it's the weight of the engine, it just sinks like a stone.

I drive either one of my XJ's before I ever take that thing out, 4x4 or not.

Yup. I will attempt any hill in the city. Made it up Collins (off "Riverside Drive ")) with a few inches a few years ago. Can't be afraid of the rev limiter. The utility bed helps too with alot of weight.

That is the key, weight over the drive wheels.
