We got the first real snow last night since I moved to Lake Tahoe area. I have studded snows (Mastercraft Courser MSR) and I had to put it in 4WD to make it up the mountain I live on. We saw three accidents on a ten mile drive into town.

It was pretty cold here in Ont Canada (27/30'F) but is warming up. We have about a foot of snow on the level.

I had my truck out in the snow and decided to use 4L to ensure it is working OK. Boy is it ever growlie in 4L and pulls like a tractor...I almost forgot how fun it is...

That school bus in the pic was originally where the guy is standing at the bottom of the hill. Hill was slick as hell and decently steep too, but a F350 showed up and yanked that sucker halfway up the hill lol

But he can see that good and there is no body up there to play with that bad boy. Oh well, 15 more days and good bye Texas and welcome back North Dakota back to the cold and snow where we belong lol.
