This was me at 8:00 AM Saturday morning, by the time it stopped it was up to the top of the bull bar! My neighbors digging out we're pretty jealous when I dropped it in 4 LO and drove over the wall of snow in front! I had several people ask me about getting a jeep since!

Unsure if attached pic came out right....but this was preparing in the morning, on my way to work....."on time!" Nevertheless, I had fun. This was in NYC by the way.

Hard to see any detail, but that was a lot of snow to clear. About 30" in places. That's a stock suspension Sahara, with slightly larger than stock tires.

I had to head out to help family and friends dig out right after the driving ban was lifted at 4pm on Saturday. The roads were horrible. 3-4" of hardpack snow with pock marks as a base, with ruts, slush, mounds (you name it) on top. It was an easy drive out, but two hours later driving home - people started to venture out and were getting stuck all over the place. I had to have gone around half a dozen cars (and one Xterra) stuck within a 3 mile radius. Woulda stopped, but we're in the city and would have just jammed things up more.

I was shocked at some of the people out there and the fact that they were able to make any progress. My little JK was squirming and floating and digging for traction at times, while I've got cars behind me snowplowing through. (literally plowing w/their bumpers). There were sections were I was nearly dragging diff's on sections of the road - no idea how the cars were getting through.

45 cm here north of the boarder. 100 km/h winds blew a lot of it around, which is why mine is pretty well clear. We had a parking ban here and I only have a 2 car drive for 3 vehs, so the Jeep took the front lawn. Neighbors were impressed!

I'm from the US, and therefore have no clue if 45 cm is a lot of snow or not!

Seriously though, it was about the same here in RI.
