A couple of years ago we got a pretty nasty dump that lasted. IIRC, it was ice first then snow on top.

Put snow tires on my s10 and again got around without a hitch.

It's about knowing how to drive in snow as much as the mode.
My 2000 Explorer was a damn mountain goat, man.

We had the 'thunder snow' storm here in Columbia in 2006 or 2007 and it shut the town down for 3 or 4 days. Well over a foot of snow and it just came down overnight. No problems at all. Then in 2011 or so we had another one that was even worse; damn near 2 feet of snow and the good old Explorer (in the last winter we had it) proved more than up to the task.

My truck does fine; no complaints. But the Explorer was out there on roads when nobody else was going anywhere. It was a true horse.
