yea but you guys gotta remember, snow for the most part is light and moves easily. (yea i know if you get a good shovel full its heavy) but if your truck is moving along at a decent speed, it will push the snow right out of the way. i was sitting in the bed all day, and could literally stick my head over the side and see the snow just being pushed aside by the bumper. then if he did build up a good pile, just reverse and step right back on it.

thats my 2 cents on the snow, now crawling, your axles are in the way, and rocks arent moving for your differential

 

That is an impressive amount of snow for a stock ram, but if you look at my pics you'll see the snow in my area was deeper than that. The drift I got stock in was up to my lifted bumper. Maybe I'll go measure my bumper later so I can see how high it was. Too bad I didn't bring my camera.

 

I don't mind living in the Houston area......TEXAS baby! LOL

When we get 3" of snow, it is a once-per-decade event!!

 

keeping it real? i can tell ya i grew up in Maine and its hard to believe that a stock truck can go thru 30" of snow...that appeared to be like 16" but i can't be for sure cause im not there...again ill give it to who ever did it....ill definitely give it to froggy for his beast doing it....i seen many trucks stuck in snow in my day ....now im glad i live in Florida cause i wouldn't wanna be shoveling that shiz....now the point of snow being light?i wont agree with it all goes back to the age old question ....what weighs more a lb of feathers or a lb of brick? a lb is a lb no matter how you look at it.....

 

Totally agreed with you! I live on a farm and when I need weight in the back, all i do is fill my box full of snow, maybe pack it in with the tractor bucket. Best thing is it melts and I don't have to remove it all :P

To add to that, at the time of first snowfall, the snow is just not packed. That is why your able to get through it, however when you get a little bit of heat that snow packs in hard and becomes like a brick. I have 3-4 ft snow drifts i could drive ON TOP of out here. When your driving through fresh snow you are able to move it more, the problem is that the truck will sink into the snow more because its not packed, meaning high centering. :P Thats why he was able to plow, if there was a warm day prior to that he might not have been so lucky :P Cause that packed snow is horrible, especially with a big heavy truck, you begin to rely on traction and tires, hopeing you can get enough to move your truck AND the snow underneath!

 

I went through 32in of snow in stock ram with no issues=P (Of course I was in 4lo and had my foot threw the floor and my deep bumper was pushing the snow=P. I also went through 30in of snow in a stock explorer... that was a fail.

Wow. Looks like here almost all year round!!! Lol.

 

Man, I think I'd just wanna hibernate.

 

im just south of hagerstown and we only got about 20" i went out in it yesterday and didnt have any trouble. our road was plowed once friday night and not again until just a little while ago. i had to go pick my sister up from work after she had to spend the night. i was actually surprised how well the stock goodyears did with 500lbs in the bed haha. i went out to get some lunch today and i got up to about 55 on the dry pavement and the truck started shaking like a ****. got out to see what was goin on and ive got a big chunk of ice stuck to the inside of my rim and throwing the tire off balance. gona have to park it inside tonight and let it melt. might not have to work tomorrow if they dont get things cleared up downtown. kinda hard to wheel beer in 2 feet of snow.

 

Snow wednesday for me! I cant wait. Im taking tons of pics! I love the snow!
