Tires make a lot of difference. I've been driving 4x4 trucks since 1999. Where I live in PA we rarely get a ton of snow but it's very hilly. I just run A/T's on my trucks year-round but I've been getting Bridgestone Blizzaks for my wife's minivans for a long time and they go as good in snow as my 4x4 trucks and probably stop and turn better. She won't roll on anything else in the winter. We both have to drive about 12 miles of twisty back country cowpath roads before we hit the main highway to get to work. I have three 60 lb sand bags in the bed of the Ranger with a wood frame I built to hold them over the axle.

8 inches here in south east Ohio. Granted I stayed home but, I went out the day after when roads were mostly cleared.
I used 4wd just to get things turning as I never use it. Did not need 4wd at all.
This tremor was a waste of money. A plan old 4wd is all I ever needed.
Eh, you live and learn.

Snow is something you should have to drive to see. We did have a few flurries in Tucson today.

Flurries? Tucson? Not the weather you wanted but the mountains must have looked amazing with a dusting of snow. ?

As we used to say on the farm: “Damn pickup (2wd) will slip on a corncob.“

Never even get flurries in Chandler, just a lot of grey skies and rain. Further North in Scottsdale will on very rare occasion will see snow flurries.

Hell, just getting to the bird feeder is treacherous.

The Huachuca Mountains are about an hour SE of Tucson and at 9,400' usually have snow cap on them. That's a really nice area down there where you get a touch of winter and nice summers unlike the Phoenix area. We thought about moving to that area but prices were a little to high (for the house we wanted) and while a nice area you really have to travel back to Tucson for major things. Sierra Vista is a big military area with Fort Huachuca there.

This storm is taking a weird dip into northern TX and riding from he southeast straight across the country. Parts of AR (mostly central) and even northern LA will get hit all the way to VA.

FWIW, I will take snow any day over hurricanes, tornadoes or floods.

Can't argue with that!
