Hi pals,
Coco Rose - we just know how to drive in snow, not the muck! Glad your pawrents are safe, especially your Mom! ~ Whoa! You are doing all this in 2 wheel drive? Even Mom from Seattle is BOL. No wonder the 5 wheel chain 'sperience. So what Mom tells me from her days of youth and Seattle has some mud experience. Also she says she knows lots about power line roads in the country. BOL. 1. 4 X 4. Only apply after you are stuck in 2. Sorry that may not apply to you. 2. Knobby tires - for the mud, not chains. They will just pack up with mud and make a slippery rolling mess, gunk up and then break. 3. Slow and low on the power: to slug through the glunck. 4. Sometimes if you are slipping you might want to just punch it (course this might only work with dirt bikes and youth). Lots of times you just need that one bit of bite. 5. Winch on front, hook to rear. Stay safe on the roads and in the cold weather. COCO what an adventure..I say your mommy is a great sport ! my pal that moved out there also finally gave up and bought a 4 wheel vehicle .. they go into Gallup also .. i bet you aren't far from each other. They also go to Farmington . I think both places are about 30 -45 minute drives for them .. are you anywhere close? They have a darling maltese, along with 3 other doggies and a donkey .. maybe when the weather gets better you could meet. Stay warm .. and tell mommy to be careful when she goes out ! OMD - dat sounds like a real pain. Momma are not much help since all she does is drive around suburbia and Dallas in a Mustang, BOL! Good luck! Ditto, Whitley... but I might look into trading the current vehicle in on a four-wheel drive one.... Momma is no good with the cold... if it snows here, she don't leave da house until it melts..BOL! Hope your Momma feels better-- dat ice sounds painful! Oh my, I think a 4 wheel drive vehicle is in your future. We know how to drive on snow, but muck is another thing. Hoping you get a very early spring! We assumed all this time it was 4x4...no wonder all the troubles....Misty has left you the correct information.... We agree with it all........We do contend with mud off and on. When serious the 4x4 is necessary....Gma's Chevy Impala won't do heavy duty mud or muck or slushy mucky mud. Here Icy county roads are still worse than muck. NO traction in solid thick ice. Gma prays and drives about 5 mph to make the 6m up the gravel road. The gravel is usually better than pavement with ice. Slow going is important.....We so sorry your having so much trouble. We sure you will be glad when Jan. is over too???? We can't wait for Jan. to leave...Hasn't been heavy snowfall. It's the Alberta Clippers and temps., everywhere trashing my Gma. Great Grandma told us they now make paw safe stuff for patios and sidewalks for your furry paws... Can't loosen up the ice. We have an Ice Bar that you bust ice with. A torch that runs on a BBQ 20 lb. LP tank.... You melt it with torch and push the water off with a big shop broom. let's pray for an early spring! kisses,mazy BOL! My oh my how you's cracks Mommy up with you's entries! She said that if you had neighbors right next to you they'd be lookin' out the window shaking their heads saying, "Oh Lord! Will you look at what these crazy Californians have done NOW!" BOL! My oh my how you's cracks Mommy up with you's entries! She said that if you had neighbors right next to you they'd be lookin' out the window shaking their heads saying, "Oh Lord! Will you look at what these crazy Californians have done NOW!"
