i live in maine and we got about 2 ft of snow but my backyard is all packed down from sleds, well my sled ran outa gas and i had to get it in so i could unfreeze the fuel pump(long story) well the truck would not go throught about 4-5 inches of harpack, it kinda made me mad because the pumpkin (rearend) wernt even touching the snow and i got stuck a couple 2-4 times but was able to rock it out and i have like new tires even though there not off roading tire

 

4x2 + street tires + open diff = stuck[:@]

 

fun! I had a fun time in a few feet of snow off Rampart Range here in CO....stupid ice underneath it though made the back end break loose around a bermed curve.....long story short, $50 motel bill, $500 mountain recovery tow and a new respect for the mountians...blah

 

Now THAT doesn't sound like anything to be ashamed of. Good reason to bring along a spare truck ... someone to pull you out.
