Snow!
 
We're getting some snow here in Gates County N.C. That's the first time I've seen snow here before Christmas in a long time. Its rained for a couple of days so its not sticking but its coming down pretty good!

We went to Charlotte this morning them rode over to Wadesboro for family Christmas get together and saw some light flurry's, nothing too much. My brother in law was up in Sparta and it snowed pretty good up there. Cousin in Walhalla got 3 inches. Nothing but cold rain all the way home

What's this snow stuff? Down here that normally refers to white powder that some snort up there nose.

We had a connecting flight in Charlotte on Friday. Luckily we got de-iced and off the ground before anything got to backed-up.

Geeze... you guys get a dusting and act like its the end of the world as we know it. I think all that hot weather you guys get is affecting y'all. :hide:

A dusting down here brings the world to a halt...and the traffic cause some goofball thought he could go wide open in his fancy 4x4 and flipped it over in the road.

I HATED driving in snow in my BURB. Even in 4x4 it still slid all over the place. You can't just drive on a slick road in something that weighs 7K+ without it sliding around. I know most curse ABS, but I was sure glad I had it. I never believed just how quickly you could lose traction on just a little snow by hitting the brakes. My ABS saved me more than once from little cars cutting in front of me.

I'm with you Ferm, iv had many instances to appreciate that ABS system in the snow here in ny. I'm in a 350 ford pickup plowing several 300 ft long buss parking lots with a couple hundred busses backed in side by side 50/60 deep.. I'd be in trouble without that Abs!!

I had an 84 Ramcharger 4x4. Went great in snow... just didn't stop! Could not use the brakes in snow unless you wanted a tea cup ride! Had to coast to a stop. In snow, I'll take a front wheel drive, ABS car over that old 4x4. Only thing scarier in snow was my 69 Mustang.

Skunk, I had an 85 Ramcharger and will second your comment about not stopping. That thing was a mule for hauling, but stopping in snow wasn't it's strong suite. I love my Durango with 4x4 or AWD and ABS Hard to beat the combo. :head:
