Yup pure legit Mass Transit Authority runs all the signs. This one was a year or so ago.
4wd goes better in snow but does not stop or turn any better. New 4x4 owners often have to learn that the hard way. My wife's Chrysler minivan with four Blizzaks goes almost as good in snow as my 4x4 trucks and probably stops and turns better. I'm the family gearhead but she's learned and won't roll on anything but Blizzaks in the winter.Yea agree turning is always a challenge, i try to take a little wider approach(if there isn't a vehicle at the opposite side of street where I'm turning) and always go slow into turn then apply a little throttle to pull out or straighten out from the turn.
I learned the hard way in my younger days with my first 4wd truck and took the turn a bit to fast and ended up bouncing the front tire off the curb, no damage, just to me.
A lesson learned though.
We had between 1/4" and 1/2" of ice under the snow. I caught hell trying to push the snow with my riding mower and snow blade since I couldn't get good traction.
Blasting around in a foot of snow is my idea of a good time but ice there is nothing you can do. I plan on closing my office at noon today and sending everyone home. They're forecasting 1/4" of ice and 4" to 6" of snow. Been raining since last night but starting about now the temps are supposed to drop and turn everything to ice.
I would have used chains if I had them. I was wanting to get a winch and plow for the side by side anyway. And I probably will get chains for it too. The side by side will work better even without chains since it weighs 1200 pounds versus the lightweight 38" cut riding lawn mower.
I got chains for my snowblower about ten years ago when we had a bad blizzard. They make a yuge difference.
Midsize Ranger and plow, works great even without chains. Had a layer of ice under the snow so was a little tricky but plowed my drive and about a mile of county road into my rural subdivision.
