I love it. Snow, Ice and all. We mostly get ice here, that's what we are getting right now. I can't wait to get my truck on the road when they are iced over. I try to beat the salt trucks in the morning!

Every time it ices I end up pulling at least a few people out of the ditch. Most people don't know how to adjust to driving on this stuff. That's why I get out in it every chance I get for "practice".

The wife loves it too.

a couple times this season so far when i am heading home from work at around midnight when there is nobody on the road and they are covered in 6 or so inches of snow makes it really quite fun. saw a tandem axle plow truck in a ditch a couple weeks ago i was soooo tempted to try to pull him out though i doubt i could have.

I love driving in SNOW!!! NOT Ice.

Unfortunately, we rarely ever get any snow here in North Texas. All we ever seem to get is an ice storm.......but they never stay long.


Give me about 8 inches of snow and I would be in heaven on either my ATV or my Dodge Cummins!

early into the season when it barely made it above zero we got a couple inches. when it is cold like that the snow is real slick might as well be ice. those kind of conditions are more white knuckle. i usually take OD off and go about 40-45 mph and im fine. it's best when it is around 20-30 degrees because the snow is more "wet" which is the fun stuff to drive in. around here they plow the roads down to the tar so there is a nice coating of ice to drive on.

I like all winter driving, but most people around here don't know how to drive in it, so I try to avoid them. I like it better when I drive my truck.

I like the snow. The lazy knuckleheads who don't take the time to clear off their vehicles really get my goat though. Nothing like having a sheet of ice lift off the car in front of you to get your attention!

I love it. I especially like the unplowed back roads that have no one else one them and you feel like you are floating.

Thats how it is in the NW. 95% of the people don't know how to drive in it.

I voted for liking to drive in Winter weather,that was the best choice for me.

Its not that I like to drive in it,but it doesn't bother me in the least. I've even towed my boat or fifth wheel through the snow more than a few times.
