Here in the NW US down near sea level its not often we see any of that white stuff, its mostly clear, so I had to go snap a few pics...

 

Very nice!!, how did the beast handle in the snow? I wish we would get some of the whiteness down here(GA) I've been wanting to use 4x4

 

Yeah me too! haven't ever had to use 4x4 before this. I gotta say though its pretty much useless in 2wd with an empty bed. In 4x4 though I was pretty impressed. There were quite a few steep hills on the windy 6 mile dirt road TomTom sent me on to get home, much of the road I was the only vehicle to drive it since the snow. All in all did better than I expected such a heavy vehicle with mud tires to do, so I'm happy with it

 

We got about 3 inches of very powdery low land snow here. Very compact on the roads, now tonight ice. I went all up and down most of the hills no problem and no weight in the back. Just that lump of cummins in the front for great traction. Kids had a good time sledding. Fun times.

This weekend is going to a b*tch from the weather report. More snow and lots of wind.

 

I'm running in about 9 inches of the white stuff and with hiway tread tires. Most of the time I use 2 wheel drive and only pop it into 4X4 to pull away from stop signs or start up some of the hills.

 

must be global warming! i am in western new york (niagara falls area) we have been getting hammered all day! have 10 inches right now. mega wind,causing huge snow drifts. suppose to stop later this evening-but calling for more snow saturday night!

 

We just got 1/2" thick layer of ice.....no snow

 

We had some snow down here that sat on the ground a couple of weeks ago, I was working in Mobile and didnt get to see it. Last time that happened was 1987... Would love to see white like that.

Might be an idiot, but how does one go about inserting the pics into the post like that instead of adding them as an attachment. TIA

Hey D45, where are you located? I'm in Warsaw. Looking at your truck made me glad mine was in the garage last night. We had a mix of snow rain and ice. Nothing like plowing through 3" of slush!

 

several inches here and really cold, usally get nothing but rain this time of year

 

We got some here on the coast of Texas a couple of weeks ago also. Don't see it here very often either.

 

We got about 5" here yesterday and they say more to come overnight into tomorrow. Truck did awesome with the new Toyo's and about 240lbs of steel in the bed of the truck. Used 4wd only on the side roads, country roads were great. Nice pics of your truck 052500.

 

What are you running for Highway Tread?
This will be the 3rd winter running Bridgestone 250 and I don't think there is more of a highway tread than these.. The last 2 season went well in the snow just need to be a little careful when it gets icy..

05 CTD2500- You are correct as the weight of the engine helps the traction when the beast is in 4x4.. The way they salt in my area it is very rare to have snow left on the roads for to long...

 

Seeing these pics makes me wish we had some of that here. I guess I will have to suffer through the 65° temps here for now.

 

I am in NW Indiana, Lake County......

I built my garage (3 car) with 8' garage doors......need to clear out some space!
