Default Jeep Weather!

Snowing at a pace of 2-inches per hour. Roads are a mess. Visibility is next to nothing.

Jeep had no troubles other than a little sliding (fault of the all-season tires) and needing 4-LO to get up our little driveway (again, the tires). I gotta get some Blizzaks on this thing!

But it's all I will drive tomorrow, when there's a foot of white stuff on the ground.

I'm in Colorado Springs, CO. About ten inches on the ground right now. Took her out this morning to drop my son off somewhere and had a blast taking the long way home. Snow? What snow?

LOL I did manage to high-center the Grand Cherokee tonight. Drove through about 2 feet of piled snow from the plow going past. Heavy, icy, wet snow. In DRIVE, not 4-LO, and couldn't go forward. Put it in R and backed right out lol. So "high-centered" is kind of a relative term in this thing. Applies only to DRIVE. Probably could have pulled right out in 4-LO too.
