Be Careful Out There 5th Gen Drivers - Storm Pics

15" and counting north of Philadelphia. My Trail is doing fine, parked in the garage. However, it runs great in the snow. Common sense and speed control always work.
 
I plowed the driveway. Snow was at the top of the blower blade so maybe 10-12 inches deep. Hubby's EVO is mostly buried. 4Runner is warm and toasty in the garage. It's supposed to snow through the day and night tonight. The APG report is that most roads are in red or black condition. We've not had a plow on our street yet today.

Well....the blizzard is definitely in full swing.

I had little problem getting out of the driveway and parking on the street so I could use my neighbor's snow thrower (LIFESAVER!!). Then the plow man came and I discovered the upper limits of my 4Runners snow capability, lol. First time I had to turn off the traction control and induce some serious wheelspin to get out! That's probably 2 feet of snow right there! This thing is a beast...

Idk where in MD you are but its looking pretty heavy there too. I was debating whether to give it my all getting out of the garage but my wife was freaking out. Considering I had no ending point of gobs of snow, it was probably the right call. For reference, my son measured in at just under 27inches 2 weeks ago at his doc. This pic was from a couple hours ago and we've gotten more since.

this is the bestest thread ever!!!

Now, off to change oil in the wife's van,then pull it outside and wash it! I'll be thinking of y'all while I'm freezin' in my 40º weather here in Idaho!

Oh yeah, for the comment about Hawaii being better for weather than Florida, that's a given!

Lucky... you've had a plow come through! No luck for us yet. [emoji21]

Looks like the girls are having fun!
 
probably received a little over a foot here. The 4runner handles too well. I have to turn traction control completely off to have any fun!

It's still coming down strong though so later tonight I'm going out to have some more fun.

Not much of a Blizzard in Arkansas but it was enough to shut everything down. Finally got a chance to get out and play around a bit

We had a blast! I threw a bunch of Cheez-Its into the yard and watched my fatty Beagles risk life and limb to get at 'em. We were laughing sooo hard...

Don't worry- I still gave them a treat!
 
We are at about 27 inches in Columbia. Roads in the neighborhood haven't seen a plow since yesterday afternoon during their preparatory salting.
 
I helped dig out a jeep TJ with a 3 inch lift and recovery gear. Sometimes the snow is just too high. Haven't even tried to take the 4Runner out of the driveway.
 
I have to laugh at how much a snowstorm is hyped back east. We had a Snowstorm that totaled about 38", over about a day and half, last month. No National News, no special storm 'name', no run on the grocery stores.

It was just a decent winter storm.
