As ICE agents surged into Minneapolis, they found actual road ice to be more than a match for their wits and driving skill. Look at this. The federal agents have all but given up, and they haven’t even activated four-wheel drive. They also haven’t made it out of the parking lot. Credit to the photographer […]

"So, if you find you get stuck in 3-inch-deep snow… for starters, don’t do that. That’s not much snow. It’s embarrassing to get stuck in so little.
A few extremely basic notes:
Don’t kick the gas pedal like these ICE agents are doing. Slow and steady.
Turn on 4WD. Obviously.
If you don’t have 4WD, whatever, you should be fine. It’s really not that much snow.
If you’re stuck and can’t dig yourself out with the shovel you carry for this exact purpose, flag down a friendly Midwesterner to pull you out. Some flannel-clad hoonigan like me will happily pull you out with a rescue strap.
This works way better if you don’t have a reputation for killing unarmed women in the city you’re in, so ICE might be SOL"
My old Chevy Cruze with shitty touring tires was okay until the snow got deep enough that it bottomed out on the snow. Its more driving skill and generally being willing to slow down a little and take it easy than your suspension or drivetrain that get you through the snow
I just love this:

My damned Honda Fit can get out of 3" of snow
