I have no bars.
I live in NC, and I'm definitely not used to snow at all. Just been snowboarding a few times, but never had to worry about getting stuck in it..
It randomly snowed here today and yesterday..
I have a crap o 2wd truck, but yesterday it at least got me to the store, this morning I went to go get some smokes and I got stuck lol
The picture is taken from my house through the screen, I'm pretty embarassed about it, I don't really want to go outside lol

The funny thing is someone who is used to driving in that type of weather would jump in that truck and drive it anywhere, you or I would get it stuck in 3" of snow. My friend lived in New York for a few years and said people drive beater cars in snow, don't chain up or use snow tires.

It's time for the country to do what Obama's own father did.
Abandon him.

RAISE your pressure:
You want to sink into the snow and contact the pavement as opposed to floating on top. Look at the tires rally cars use for snow courses, very narrow.

I grew up in the mountains of Arizona at about 6500 ft elevation, so I have tons of experience of driving in the snow [patriot]
