That is not torture, that ist fun!
We had about five foot of snow some weeks ago
It was actually fun to drive through roads where there has only been a snowplow before:
At the place where he turned around that was the end for the trip
A Mercedes with good winter tires (for stearing) and chains on the driving wheels can handle up to 3-4 inches of snow easily.
I don't understand why my girlfriend parked the car during the heavy snow
It took almost an hour to dig the car out.
We put some markers at the antenna, that the snowplows don't run over it.
BTW: That is the Diesel of a friend with new Continental TS 790 having fun in the snow
Kind regards
