in NJ and know what "real" snow is like

Truly. Everything is relative.......

And in Charlotte it's not really the snow you need to worry about it's the fact that most natives have no clue how to drive in snow so it's best to just get off the roads

My area has grown rapidly for many years driving by immigrants from much warmer states. It seems each of them drives a 4WD SUV, so it's both funny and frightening to watch them try to stay out of the ditch after our first big snow of the season. It's clear most people never learned about inertia in physics class.

Snow is not a problem for me, it is ICE I hate with two wheels.

Or, that high center of gravity.

An example of what you described was when Kim Kardashian and her sisters slid off the road in a snow storm here in Montana back in 2015. High center of gravity was not an issue with that crew.

A Toast is in order...

Under the "funniest" category... THIS thread post may prove to be the Grand Prize Winner!

...Now if just knew how to post a picture of a well stocked and attractive Montana tavern.

Yeah, all those things that make and SUV - even a crossover - different from traditional sedans. I think the best part is how so many think that 4WD will let them stop faster on slick roads. Ha!

The individual COGs appear to be all over the chart!

So where does the reality fizzle out and the BS begin?

Does anybody know what time it is?

25 or 6 to 4?

Which one is Bruce?

Yes, and try to buy a non-AWD BMW car north of the Mason-Dixon line. They're a bit less rare than a 6-speed transmission.

Anyhow, I used to travel thru Syracuse frequently on I-81. Due to it's the location near Lake Ontario, a brief late afternoon thunderstorm is an every other day occurrence. So, hot road surface, a bit of rain, bingo .............. Minivan on its roof. It was like clockwork.

Speaking of peaks & valleys, anyone Know when Glacier Park's Going to the Moon road actually opened... all the way across this year?

I thought I read somewhere (can'r recall where) or maybe got a NP e-mail that suggested it was NOT going to open fully this year.

The Going to the Sun Road opens Monday the 13th. (https://cdapress.com/news/2020/jul/11/sun-road-opens-monday-to-rising-sun-5/). All of the east side access points to the park will remain closed for the year. The Blackfeet are denying use of the roads on their land that are needed to reach the park from the east. (A wise decision in my opinion.) I would not go near the road this year. With no outlet on the east side people will have to turn around at Logan Pass and the already heavy traffic will become much worse.

So Going to The Sun Road will not fully open this year ?

I'll bet a nickel some early morning GS type rider reaches the stop/turn-around point, and determines... watch this!
