It's currently 8 here with a -4 wind chill. I get to look at 13 for tomorrows high temperature.

 

We just got a dust today but is supposed to get to 10 with a wind chill of around -10 tonight.

 

It got to 40 degrees on Thursday and rained like crazy. yesterday it hailed like crazy. and dusted a lil snow. I only know the outside temeperature when i see it on my display while in the durango haha!

 

No serious accumulation this year, at least not enough for photos.

Here are a few from last year











Year before, only real good accumulation Donuts in the snow! My first winter with the 'Rango.

 

Lookin good logik!

 

when it snows my D gets to rest. Time for 2 stroke fun![IMG][/IMG]

 

I live in long branch nj we had 30 inches this past weekend.My truck never made it out with 4-5 ft snow drifts in my street and driveway.

 

My truck was in the shop for our first two snows of the season. Got it back on Friday. Got off work that night at about 2 am and decided I didn't want to wait for the next snow.

Found a Class B road (unmaintained, unplowed dirt road) and did some playing. Given that we had started with about 10 inches of snow, experienced two days of 40 degree temps, and then had a day of 20 degrees, this road was a nasty mixture of mud, ice, slush, and snow drifts. Made it about 75 yards in 2WD before I felt the front wheels sink about 6 inches and I was stuck tight. Tried rocking but it wouldn't move even an inch either direction. Shifted into 4PT and it walked right through that.

Got about halfway through the one mile stretch, through several grill-high drifts, when the drifts started getting progressively larger. I think I could have made it but at that point I spotted one drift that looked to be between hood and roof height, and I started having visions of the *** chewing my tow guy would give me for waking him up at 2:30 am over something silly like this (not to mention what my wife would have had to say), so I decided to retreat. Hit reverse to back out the way I came, and as Murphy's Law dictates, this is when I discovered my reverse lights are suddenly not working. Had to back out without being able to see behind me, just kept my eyes forward and tried to use the tracks I had made to give me an idea whether I was lined up with the road or not (Very narrow road with steep banks on each side. Turning around isn't an option in daylight and summertime, much less a night like this). Got back to the gravel, got it back into 2WD and headed my butt home to bed.

Had a blast!

I think she did extremely well, especially considering I can't afford new tires at the moment so this was all done with what almost amounts to racing slicks. With the right tires, I think I'd be willing to take a crack at a roof-high snow drift with this truck. Preferably earlier in the evening just in case I did end up having to call my tow guy.

 

This is a great example of a member with a NV242HD Transfer Case that knows how to use it and uses it accordingly!


I love that T-case as it walks through things that make ya go ug, but it is a beotch if you don't know how to correctly use it.

 

At last the snow have been removed/melted. Can't tell you how many times I've seen more expensive supposed SUVs stuck in the ice and snow spinning all four wheels when my D chugged right through the slippery stuff. Sometimes in 2wd!...LOL!
