Best advice in these conditions, stay home, it’s not you with good jeeping experience, it’s the inexperienced idiots that are out there that will run into you

Going to add something I just did recently (B4 I read the other responses). During our most recent blizzard a section of the road I was travelling on, just before pulling onto my back road was all but drifted shut. The next day it was 100% blocked with drifts and vehicles stuck in them (See the pic where I am coming out of my back road onto the 4 lane. From the point of the pic where I am, up to the small light you see, is the south bound section I came through the night before. That morning is when I saw it was 100% blocked with multiple cars stuck. The plows could not get through at that time due to the cars on the road. This small section I have the pic of was nothing compared to the upper section.).

Visibility was so bad I found myself coming up on a car parked/stuck in the middle of the 2-lane road with its flashers on and no one inside. I did not see his/her flashers until I was almost on their rear bumper. At this point of my drive (on a road normally designed for 65 mph, I was doing about 5 mph with my flashers on.

Since I saw how ineffectual the flashers were at letting folks from behind know I was there, I also turned on my rear @Diode Dynamics yellow flood lights I installed for camping, backing up in poor visibility and situations precisely like this. And yes, I have their yellow fogs on the fron end as you can see in the last pic.

If I was in an area where snow was…I’d be hustling ppl stuck in a ditch…..getting paid 🤑…I’ll pull you out for 40 bucks…..or hang out in this ditch like a dumb@ss and wait for the cops to ticket you for wreck less driving/another vehicle to come belly flop on you/tow truck driver to finally come rescue you 🤷🏼‍♂️…

We are getting hit pretty hard with snow. Good thing I have the Jeep for those desperate times.

Never forget about safety too. :like:
I'll take a couple shots of it tomorrow morning, should be interesting.....

Were you at the mall?

If you film the people of Walmart in the Blair Witch Mocumentaty style with the sound effects from the original Psycho movie, I will like and subscribe to your channel.

I've been in a Walmart just once, I'm pretty sure the Dept Of Corrections lets their clients do their monthly shopping there.
They have decimated the small town business centers.
