Yes, they are excellent in snow. Last year on Valentines Day we had a hell of a snowstorm. There was almost 5 ft. of snow on the road as the plows couldn't keep up with it and stopped plowing. It was a complete whiteout, and I had to stop several times to see where I was on the road as you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, but my H2 crawled thru 5 ft. of snow for 15 miles and didn't even break a sweat. I was extremely impressed. There were so many cars off the road that had plowed themselves in because the snow was so deep, but I crawled thru with no problem. It was slow going because of a lack of visibility, but I made it home without any problems... I love my H2!!!!

I have never really wheeled in the snow. Hopefully Ron will get a Norcal THCI event up by Mammoth again this year.

I love the snow... that huge storm last year around President's Day weekend... we went back to my farm in Illinois...

This winter has been one for the record books in Milwaukee, and I have not been able to lose control in my H3. The stabilitrac is insane, I keep the pedal pegged and it takes over and straightens me out, w/o even me putting my hands on the wheel sometimes.

I LOVE THIS TRUCK

I saw the Pom too, we've got one and she's jet black, I think she'd freak if we ever had that much snow in Dallas.

We haven’t had much snow since I bought my H3 this past January but that can change in a heart beat around here. We get “lake effect” snow off of Lake Erie here in Western New York and the snow bands can sometimes be just a mile or two wide dumping feet of snow on a community and nothing just a few miles away.

About 5 years ago we had one of those events and in my neighborhood we got about 6” of snow while some communities just 5 miles away got up to 12 feet of snow! It started snowing on Christmas Eve and snowed non-stop for 3 days. The City of Buffalo was like one giant parking lot. The only mode of transportation was snowmobile. The snowplows had no place to plow the snow. Actually it was kinda nice. Forget about driving everyone had to walk everywhere and you actually got to meet your neighbor.

J9,

Oswego! Oh man, I've worked at all three powerhouses out at Nine Mile Point! I was a pipefitter/welder and I helped build Unit 2 and worked on Unit 1 and the Fitzpatrick Plant during refueling several times. You guys get way more snow then we do but know how to handle it. Oswego's a partying town.

Small world! Live right out here on 104, bout a mile away from the plant! We're getting a little storm right now as we speak..should get up to a ft by morning. Not worried. Last year I owned a Dodge Durango Hemi..it sucked in the snow. As did many other problems. I'm pretty pleased with this trucks' performance. Glad I opted for the Bridgestones! Going up to get my lights fixed Saturday. Hopefully they'll get it right this time.
