[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2743651, member: 91783"] This has been the coldest and snowiest winter that I remember in probably 30 years. It's been a windy winter, but I believe that last winter was winder. We are right at two feet of snow more this year than average. With the temperature being lower than average there is a lot of snow piled up around every place. The streets are kind of like driving down a rutted two track road with a bunch of potholes in it. So many of the younger people don't remember years when it was this snowy and cold, so they are wondering about the snow being piled up in the center of the streets. The drifts out of town are deep and crusted so it's best to go around them instead of getting out where they are the deepest and breaking through the crust, where your truck will be a couple of feet or more off the ground resting on the frame and you will be trying to dig through ice till you can get your tires to get traction on solid ground then chip your way whichever way is the closest to bare ground . I have been that foolish person or have been with that foolish person who said nah I can make it. You know the guy that didn't put it in 4-wheel drive till after he was stuck. Back in the day when you had to get out and get all muddy to lock in the hubs so you could shift into 4-wheel drive, when he would say I'll get my side you get yours I would say nah you get em both I told you to go around it or said that you should lock it in you can get all wet and muddy I'll be here warm and dry when you're done. But I always ended up helping dig out and giving him a ration of crap for being not so smart knowing I was as much to blame as him by not being more adamant about not doing it in the first place. You have to feed the stock, but you don't have to get all kinds of not so smart about doing it, and you don't just have to go calling today they will still be there when the weather and roads get better, that saying been there done that came from this kind of things being done.
