What happens when.. You get 18 inches of snow.. And the people residing in your city are only used to 1-2?!
This is one thing that happens.. To a neighbor just trying to get up their driveway.. Their lovely Ford Expidition takes a corner nosedive into snow.. Stuck until the snow melts, as no wrecker or tow truck can get up here to pull it out.. Question is, will it flip once the snow melts? Only time will tell.
When someone tries going up a small incline in a car..
Though, they did eventually make it up.. But I heard squeeling and spinning tires once they got near the top, and I'm not sure what the outcome was.
My dad and I got called out to do some snow blowing.. And I thought we were going to die. We took an (I think '06) Ford Ranger.. And the 4wd kept disingaging.. And we were spinning and sliding all over the place. But then we realized the 4wd would have done us no good, as we watched a huge 4wd 4 door brand new Dodge go part way up our hill and slide sideways into a ditch.. The guy got the back of it stuck in a bank and Dad and I tried for awhile and with the help of another guy we were able to push him out while his tires were spinning. So in the end we had to park the truck and walk home.. The city prefers scraping the streets of the fancy high end neighborhoods first, so for now, we have some hazardous icey roads infront of and around our house.
SNOW MUTTS!

Dumps like that aren't all that uncommon here, so the winter tires go on in October, and don't come off til May!
