Driving in Snow (in Texas)

[JWillms]

It snowed last night and I got to drive the Ram for the first time in the snow. After hearing about what other people have said about not liking the way it handels I decided to try for my self. It was nothing big the snow was bearly sticking to the road but it was still slick. Drove in 4 high and figured out the anti lock breaks after the first time they tried to lock up and I slid threw a stop light. All in all it wasnt to bad just have to keep it slow and keep my distance from people. It only snows like once a year here so it was a pretty big deal down here so while I was driving around I took a bunch of pictures. Here is one of the ram in a parking lot that I found.

I guess you can call that snow, looks like fog to me. Sure like the truck though. I bet the guys up north have some pictures of a truck in real deep snow now that would be cool to see. You know like snow up to the doors.

Here in MI we get our fair share of snow, every year, however, most people seem to forget how to drive in it. It's kind of comical, but at the same time I wish people had the sence enough to stay home. So basicly, it's big deal when it snows here also, nothing quite like seeing a Mustang, corvette, camero, or anything else that sits less than 2" off the ground trying to drive in 8"of fresh snow.

JWillms,



I am just plain disgusted with that pic you posted. Where are the tire marks from the donuts? Please don't tell me you passed up a fresh clean parking lot full of snow without doing even a single donut? Say it isn't so!

Like! JWillms, said it only snows here maybe once or twice a year here and I'm glad of it too. Not only for some that don't know how to drive, but also the fact we don't have to deal with the salting the roads problem. I feel for you guys up north, looks like something could be used thats not corrosive and still take care of the road problems. Any way I believe that pic was taken early because we got a lot more here North of Dallas. Oo.

Snow is awesome. . salt sux! I was in Minneapolis MN the other day and by the looks of the roads and vehicles, the state has a huge salt contract. I'll bet cars rust out before they wear out up north.

Nice looking truck, BTW!

In knew it was familliar. When I was there the only IT courses were held in the Business buliding (Acorss the street from the main campus, and more toward the main drag than Wisdom Gym. ) I knew they had built a good deal on though. The Gym parking lot is about the only place over there to do Donuts, but the campus police really frown on it.



We used to go to Proctor Lake (often after the customary trip to the stores in Proctor) to play in the mud. Fishing was lousy, but the 4-wheeling was great.



It brings back some memories!
