MY two cents and we all know about opinions! SLOW DOWN or STOP. When in bad road conditions including wind, rain, snow etc. we have our homes with us. STOP and take a break, let the conditions change and then get back on the road. We travel a lot, mostly good weather and conditions but do hit some nasty stuff. Plan ahead and pick out spots ahead of time to re-group. I have used or four wheel drive in wet conditions including snow but at a slow pace, about 40 mph. four wheel high is ok with my vehicle. So My thoughts, Glad you guys are safe! Good Luck & Be Safe ! ! !
VERY good advice!!! It doesn't matter how many wheel drive you have or how heavy your rig is, once your on ice NOTHING matters except your speed and the conditions around you. I've seen 80,000 LBS trucks spin out on ice, it's nothing to fool with.
