We got a few more inches here in Vermont today. Total there is about 6 in on the ground, but it is suppose to change to rain which just makes a mess, I hate that.

Ive only ever been really stuck one time in my truck, keep in mind I have a 2wd one wheel peel with a bald goodyear eagle on the right rear and i never put weight in the bed because its too much work, the key is to not get yourself into a situation where you'll be stuck. like if you get home and theres 2 feet of snow in the driveway, dont park in the driveway until you plow enough of the snow out of the way to get the truck in. The one time I did get stuck was last year when we got like 4 feet of snow in one night and i stayed over at a friend's house. When i wanted to leave I decided I wasnt about to plow my friend's driveway for him so i drove about 5 feet forward and tried to get a running start going backwards.... the back end of the truck ended up about 3 feet higher than the front end and the tires dug in and just spun so I gave up. I had someone pick me up and take me home and I just drove my 88 until the snow melted like a week later.

You lost the bet? Unless you have a 4x2 you have a lot of explaining to do
