Talking The Dakota laughed at this sleet/ice storm.

Started......first crank.

So much for the forecasted 1-3" of snow.







Kinda unusual for this part of the country. An "event!"

Thanks, yeah the ice scraper didn't faze it. Warm water did the trick on the windshield.

We had almost 9" here in northwest GA, and the dakota handled it with ease... I went around a big toyota pickup on what looked to be 35" tires or bigger and smiled at the driver cause he was sittin on the side of the road. My mud dawg tires handle the snow perfectly..
