But I don't have a garage, and my 4Runner currently looks like this. And I'm too lazy to dig it out.

Down at the bottom right of the pic. I'm in southeastern PA, we got hit hard. It's drifting a lot so hard to really tell from pictures, but the official snowfall is close to 2 feet, and it's not going to stop for another 12 hours or so.

since you're from Lancaster maybe you can get some of the amish to come plow around your truck so you can go play in the snow. its totally worth it
 
Just make sure to have good snow tires :P i got Toyo's and im up in Canada, and i always go offroading witht he snow no problem with my 4runner. There some roads who arent cleaned at all in winter here and i go on them in deep snow. just be sure to have a shovel in case off haha

Here's the opposite of your pic, lol. Got about 6 feet in the middle from drifting. Gonna take a while to dig out.

We picked around 22 inches here in Northern Virginia. My runner is buried up to the bumpers. I'm going to dig it out tomorrow and go play.

Hopefully you get out tomorrow and have some fun in your runner.

Jason B nice garage floor. Do u play checkers on it? Only time I ever got stuck in the snow was a drift that lifted the whole truck off the ground. All 4 wheels were in air.

4HI and go. Remember to wash the underside to prevent any corrosion from forming or progressing when you're done having fun!

This. My truck is covered in salt now, I'm waiting for the rest of it to melt and then this week I'm going to go spend like $10 at the car wash because I don't need any rust starting on my truck.

36" here in central MD. I would go play, but I think it's too much for my stock-height Runner. Neighborhood hasn't been touched yet.
 
People! These pictures are a crying shame! A travesty I say! Dig those rigs out, grab some dogs and kids, throw them in the rig, and GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY!!

I had the windows on the house open, brisket on the smoker, and detailed the car today in shorts and a t-shirt. That stuff y'all have would just piss me off.
 
My 4R never got buried because I was constantly out playing. The snow never had a chance to build up!! I locked the center differential once so I could slowly trudge through a 200ft stretch of 16" deep snow. It really inspires confidence when you get through something like that. This truck is a beast!

Well, I did get out yesterday. Unfortunately most of the streets were cleaned. I found a few back roads that were still fun. Snow was too deep to head out into the unplowed roads though. We had somewhere between 2 and 3 feet with drifts higher than that.

There was an alley near my house that's very steep, and was just packed snow and ice. Didn't even have to lock the transfer case, it went right up no problem. I know from experience no 2WD car or truck is getting up that alley when it's slippery. Even rain is a problem.

Seems like as long as you have enough clearance not much can stop it.
 
I managed to get my 4R stuck while exploring an unplowed gravel lot. My rear locker and new Cooper ATPs weren't enough to get my stock rig through 2ft of snow. I would have taken pics if I wasn't so embarrassed by my stupidity.

To be fair, a more experienced driver wouldn't have become stuck. That was by far the deepest snow I've ever attempted.
