Thumbs up Dodge Rams in Snow

Hey Everyone, So I live way out in Georgia, where usually snow and ice are something that we do not have to worry about. But for the past year or so, we have been having some crazy weather when it comes to these items. Now don't get me wrong, I am from Utah, and I love the snow. It is annoying though to see people who #1 Have never drivin in heavy snow or icy conditions try to go tackle it with a lead foot, hopes, and dreams and #2 a very bad vehicle for the job. Now I know that some of us who KNOW how to drive in these conditions, can have a lot of fun in doing so. And I know some of us who have heavily modified our trucks to handle just the occasions (*Caugh Caugh* Weedahoe) know that even the best, highest modified trucks 4 wheel drive, tru lockers, snow tires, whatever will always tell you that your still need to take it safe. Even the best trucks can get hit by black ice or something. Just a friendly PSA to just remind people out there to drive safe in these kind of conditions. Now enough for that, thought I would bring up the always cool WINTER PICS!!! Just took some, so would love to see some of everyone's newest pictures.

I heard about all that snow and ice up there in north GA. Im glad we dont have it down here. Its in the 30s here and we went to Walmart last night and there was hardly anyone in there. We loved it and Walmart is ALWAYS over populated. Sometimes the cold is beneficial.

Got snow in south Georgia one time last winter, maybe two inches and my buddy in the FD was hopping for accidents ALL NITE. Normal weekend night the city averages one to two fender benders, they had seventeen that night...

Man, if we were to get even that itty-bitty bit (and we have), we'd be pretty much shut down .

Yeah, the snow has been alot of fun to play in, but luckily they got the word out soon enough so that all high school teenagers with their "4x4 trucks" were told by there mommy to stay inside. Prevents people like me where rain, sleet, snow, tornado, hurricane, whatever will not stop from having to go to work. Yeah alot of people will be call out saying "Well I can't get out of my drive way" then you should have parked it on the road. This is where Darwin's Law kicks in, "There is a reason why its called the human race." Well that Best Buy for you.

I always laugh when guys from the South talk about snow. What we call flurries would incapacitate your states for a month. Some of the pictures in this thread have me cracking up. Maybe 1/4" on the ground and people are calling that snow???? There is barely enough there to make a tire track.

We are in the middle of a mild storm right now actually. Due to drop 12"+. You can barely see the truck in the driveway looking out the window. However, it doesn't qualify as blizzard status nor will it be considered serious though until you can't see the truck at all.

"Snow" in Georgia.
