Supposed to have the Snowpocalypse this weekend. Up to 2ft of snow in areas, 60"+ on Casper mountain.

Went out today and we have about 4". Interstates are closed, roads are semi-plowed.

However, intersections off the main roads have tons of slush/snow where the plows piled it up.

If I'd brought my M3, I couldn't go anywhere. Actually had to use the 4 HI today. Drove through this snow like a champ (BFG KO2s).

Just glad to have a capable vehicle like the TJ.

It was a sunny 55 here in NJ today. I also run 33x10.5 KO2s and they do really well in the winter
 
I'd say we got right around a foot. (That's what she said). Friend in Casper shows they got about the 2 feet.

Yeah it’s knee high here. My buddy in Casper said about the same.
Took my LJ out earlier and the lockers were working great, first real test since I installed them.

I've had my TJ for just over 3 years now and I've never engaged the lockers except after a fluid change.

Never had the hardtop off either.
 
I live in Arkansas and we got our big snow storm a few weeks ago, the ko2 is the best snow tire I know of and I'm glad I had them. I went into the ditch at my house that had all the snow from the road in it and I hardly slowed down

Kudos to the road crews and the guy for my landlord that shoveled our walks.

Even have road graders out and end loaders.

Already out and about? Glad you’re doing well!

We got about 4” of cement down here.

I always like to get out early in the morning after stuff like this to make sure I can get out if I need to.

Jeep and the KO2s just clawed their way out of my snowed-in parking area in 4HI like it was nothing. I'd say there was about 8" in the parking area. It's compressed since the snow yesterday of about a foot. Got back in no problem either.

Really glad I didn't bring the M3 instead! That thing would be an island for about another week. lol

I meant since your health issues and surgery.

I sold a KJ before I got my TJ and really miss the full time 4WD for snow and mud, but I also have KO2s and have no complaints!

So far so good on that front.

Pardon the mannipples, but all is healing well. I believe I have a follow-up with the surgeon on Wednesday. Unsure if we'll still have it at this point.
