yeah, it's been wet snow and slush with sub 32F (16F currently) temps over the last couple of days. so it's not just solid snow.Heisenberg wrote:Holy carp, that's a lot of snow (ice?) packed in there!
We've yet to see the first signs of spring, and the deep-snow driving opportunities have been frequent . Can't say I've had that kind of build up under the vehicle. The wheel wells did become a little choked at one point, limiting steering, but not affecting "caster" (I think that's what you were describing?).
It also seems like you would need wet snow or slush with well-below freezing air temperature to achieve your look?

i know right?!?!disallow wrote:also that is freaking awesome... Love having a 4x4 in this weather!!
cool, thanks for the info.disallow wrote:Yep. Letting it freeze overnight might cause some weird noises in the morning. Specifically I saw your CV boots, but I don't think ice can accumulate on these as the water just beads off.

Speaking of idiots, here is my Facebook status from 2 wks ago:doctahjones wrote:i also like that most of the people that get out in the snow-ish stuff here in denver area also have 4x4, so there's not as many idiots on the road (well, at least 2wd idiots).disallow wrote:also that is freaking awesome...

back in texas if you got out in this stuff you'd find hundreds of idiots that got stuck because they only have 2wd. people just don't know how to drive in it and stuff.
Was driving along at 90kph on a snow covered road, following someone and NOT being an idiot, and this guy in a Nissan Sentra was literally on top of me. I tapped my brakes a bunch of times, to no avail. Finally, after checking for oncoming traffic, and seeing there was nobody really behind him, I braked sharply, slowing from 90kph to about 50kph. He bailed onto the shoulder, and then spun out about 3 times on the highway.To the idiot who thought it was a great idea to ride my bumper this morning while travelling at over 90kph in lousy conditions (and there was someone in front of me who I was not tailgating): I'm sorry that my slowing down caused you to steer onto the shoulder and spin out. This was not my intention. I just wanted you to get off of my butt. Your inability to react should tell you something! Dang tailgaters..
better for him to have spun out while there was no traffic, rather than while he was being an idiot around other cars and spinning out into someone else!disallow wrote: Was driving along at 90kph on a snow covered road, following someone and NOT being an idiot, and this guy in a Nissan Sentra was literally on top of me.

Its one of those things that makes you feel really good, and really bad at the same time. God forbid that this guy got hurt, or worse... But I hope he realizes what an idiot he was being. One could hope, anyways...
