1st snow - Hampton Roads VA

[757cc]

Recently picked up this '06 H3. Today was the first time I have had the opportunity to put it through even the most basic of paces! Understand that a single snowflake in the sky will shut this area down! We had a late afternoon winter storm come through the area. A typical 15 minute commute home took 1 1/4 hours. Bumper to bumper traffic and lots of vehicles both cars and suv's went off the road. Very happy the way the H3 handled exceeded my expectations!

Nice rig! These rigs handle great in the snow especially with a good snow tire.

That's a lot of snow for that area; I use to live at Virginia Beach.

H3s do well in snow! Glad to hear you made it home safe and sound. It doesnt sound like everyone else did.

Even though I am in Southern California I am 30min from snow and go up to the local mtns for some snowboarding, sometimes wheeling and just to have some fun in the snow I never have a problem getting there and back. About a month ago I went up to snowboard and it was snowing and in one short section of road there were about 6 vehicles stuck on the side of the road or spun out and I didnt even spin a tire. When its time for purchasing tires look into the duratracs if you want awesome snow traction.

Duratracs are great on snow, but unfortunately this is as much snow that we will get here in VA

Here in the mountians of Southwest VA we have had an 8 inch and a 4 inch snow and freezing rain last night. I am still riding on my Bridgestone Duelers with 45K on them. They are doing okay in the frozen stuff but by next winter I will likely have 305 Duratracs.

I have seen several recommendations for the Duratracs... and they are at the top of my list when I upgrade tires. Sadly, the couple inches of snow we got Friday is considered a lot for this area. And we only get that every few years if that...but co workers are thinking they need a h3 now!

I grew up in Tennessee, just west of Nashville. But now that I live in the 3rd snowiest city in the US, I always laugh when it snows in the south and everything shuts down. Totally unreasonable lol. I visited family in TN over Christmas and they got a snow dusting that hardly covered the road and schools closed and people were afraid they wouldn't make it to work. I understand southern states have more problems with black ice and whatnot, but it still cracks me up how poorly southern drivers as a whole respond to "snow." I get so many laughs from talking to my family when they get snow lol. Just look what I drive in every day. And yes, I still go 10 over on the highway.

Thats alright.. The Duratracs work in all conditions. Great in the mud, dirt, rocks and even sand as well. I have them on both of my trucks and have been running Duratracs since they came out 2 1/2 -3 yrs ago.:thumbs:
