Let it snow , let it snow , let it snow...

Post up your Snowy Cj pics here. Since I have to drive Vickis back and forth to work ( Poor me ) I decided to get into the woods a little after work.

The pucker factor must've been high at that moment

The weather guessers are calling for 3-6" of snow here, which will absolutely have everything here closed tomorrow, I'll be out screwing around

 

[Torxhead]

Yes ATs do that Pete, I did convert to MTs. Hole, I believe there was fellow jeeper trying to hold me from going over the side. Elwood, it was 83 where I am at today. Can we get back to posting CJ Snowy Pics?

Best we got so far down south here in Ga. My pro comp muds do well in snow but really disapprove of the ice 100%.

Haven't had much snow this year, but here's one from a couple years ago.

It's been a very mild, dry winter here but let me do a mini-trail report from a couple of years ago.
Early winter I decided to take my jeep around the Mancos Hogback.

​

At first it wasn't bad.

​

But the trail was very narrow. I had to be careful not to slip over the edge.

​

At the pass the snow was deep and the weather wasn't looking good. I wasn't too familiar with this trail but my map said if I kept heading forward I should be able to get to the county road. I didn't want to turn around because that narrow trail would be worse in a snow storm.
The snow started coming down hard. This was virgin snow and I wasn't sure I was still on the trail. As I kept going I knew I was off the trail.

​

I got to these trees. This was definitely NOT the trail. A jeep couldn't even fit through those trees. I put it in reverse. My tires spun. Am I stuck? This is rough terrain and I can't back up. Where am I going? I had to scope out the area before I ended up in worse shape.

​

I got out of my jeep and hiked back, looking for the trail. I was scared and didn't want to make any more stupid mistakes. I found the trail i missed. I hiked it for a while to make sure it lead somewhere. Then I ran back to the jeep. It was snowing hard and I didn't want to wait for the snow to get any deeper. My winch is in front so I had to winch myself through and around the trees. My Jeep crawled over rocks that were hidden by the deep snow. The smooth deep snow covered the terrain. Once I was back on my own tracks I could drive. Instead of reeling in my winch cable I wrapped it over my bumper in a figure eight in case I would need it again.

​

The snow was letting up. I looked back and could see that I was going on the wrong side of this valley. I made it back okay but I admit I was nervous for a while there.

Supposedly more snow this weekend. The last storm didnt live up to the hype. I have a couple little places to play around. If we get a decent amount Im gonna play a little.

You may have heard that there is nothing so deadly as Texans on ice. When given the choice, I just stay home.

What is this SNOW you speak of?

Hay, I was in Tucson just before Christmas and I saw snow there..

 

[Mnbluepits]

here is one in my yard i had to see how far i need the shock extend and compress and said why not the snow bank its a good 4tf high

 

[BusaDave9]

Where's the snow? I've been waiting but we haven't had much of a winter.
Here's from a couple of years ago.

​

Or I could always go up into the mountains for snow. This next shot was in June.

​

I always wonder how those snow plow drivers know where the trail is. I'm surprised they don't drive right off the mountainside more often.

Busa, we are moving your way, we have rocks like that but not that much snow… .looks amazing

Here are some more pics with Wifey's Grand and where I had to do my own road grading.

Road grading with a compact folding military shovel. Been there done that. That's just like the kind of shovel I carry in my CJ5 .
