S0,this is short..The most rigs in the ditch around here are 4X4's and people who don't have a clue how to drive in the snow..I have never seen a place the 2WD service truck could not get one way or the other logging in snow or whatever.

I lived in McCall Idaho close to 40 years where we had to shovel out the windows for the light to get in and it got to 30 below regularly and diesels would not run (pun intended)..It was a way of life..Now we just get a couple feet here but it did snow this month in July..
All in fun huh....
