H3 First Snow today! :-)

[PacNWAg98]

Hey guys -
My H3 got its first real taste of snow today. As you can see from the pics - a good 12"+ of fresh snow and it did great! Went into some deeper ruts that were more like 18"+ and was amazed at how well it handled. Never did I feel even remotely like I might get stuck, although the wife was a little nervous

Really looking forward to winter now with my badass little snow plow! :thumbs:

You're going to love the H3 in snow! It's probably the most sure-footed vehicle I had the pleasure of driving in snow.

That's great Dave! Looks like you and your wife had so much fun! Were you at/near Snoqualmie? That snow looks pretty deep = Early Ski season! I missed last year but hoping to go this year. Today I heard that Crystal might be opening this week. :corn:

I completely agree!! When nobody can make it into work because we got a foot and a half... who's there? Me. Sometimes I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Several of my vehicles never saw snow so I can easily say the H3 is my best ever vehicle in the snow! Glad you got out and played a bit.

That's awesome!! The 3 does great in the snow. At least until spring time when you are driving over slush, ice patches and powder.

Still no snow here :sigh: but I don't have my "snow shoes" on yet anyway.

I am patiently waiting for snow.

Hey Janice - Yes, we were up near Snoqualmie Summit. The Summit and Alpenthal parking areas are like uninhabited snow fields - ripe for play!! Go get some! :horns:

I continue to be amazed by how well the H3 performed yesterday - it has definitely increased my confidence in the capabilities of my truck! So much fun!

Let me have a quick look outside--nope, no snow here!
Screw that!

We had a NorEaster as they call it up here in October, and now it's been 60 degrees out!

That looks great and all, but how long can you stand being in paradise before it drives you completely crazy... You can keep all that sand, sun, warmth, beautiful water, etc... where I am, we wear socks with our sandals thank you! (no, seriously, people really do that here - bizzare I know.)
After 75 years or so of sunshine you'll be begging for some climate diversity & that's where the PacNW comes in! :wink:

That's right! Sandals and socks even on our wonderful, misty, drizzly days. Goes well with our Tully's and Starbucks haha! Yeah, it's bizarre and quirky, but that's why I love it here! This area's well known for trend-setting in many arenas, although I can't see that one catching on in the rest of the country no time soon. :roll: I gotta go get me some of that snow! :horns:I'll try to head that way this coming weekend if possible.

 

[hummer3]

Its 21 degrees here.... No snow though :sigh: I cant wait to test the H2 out now that it has real tires on it!!

Same here! I'm looking forward to seeing how the new tires perform in snow on my H2.

 

[08SolarFlareH3]

We finally got our first snow of the season last night, didn't amount to much though :sigh: but atleast that means I get a few more days (or weeks) of salt free roads.

 

[Sierra H3]

You Great NW guys are making me homesick! My first time on skiis was at Snowqualmie Pass. I have been gone a long time, but can still enjoy tacking a little snow in the Sierras. It is hard to beat the scenery up there.

 

[mudbug]

I do miss the snow. Yeah living in SoCal is making me sick of perfect weather it's so boring.

 

[08SolarFlareH3]

Our first snow I talked about was gone by noon yesterday :sigh:

 

[M22KLARS]

It's been lightly snowing all day in MN.

 

[PacNWAg98]

We got a ton in the mountains since last weekend. Hoping to make it up there again tomorrow. Janice - hope you made it up there for some fun!

BTW: Anyone local interested in a winter forest road drive sometime in the next few weeks? I am happy to help organize if there are any takers. (Will also post something on the PNW board)

Getting the H3 ready for the snow by trying my chains on:

I got these from TireChains.com. They are super easy to put on and adjust.

What model did you get? I am thinking about picking up a set of my new winter skinnies :wink:
