We had a little bit of snow last week. The Hummer was amazing in it. Even though the pictures here have the chains on it we drove up the mountain without them.
It was snowing pretty hard so we put them on because it would sit for awhile. It snowed about 2 feet more and we drove down no problem but it was a little scary.
Snow is one thing but Dallas isn't really known for snow but ugly ice. Remember that one Thanksgiving maybe 10 years or so ago?

Man that really sucks Steve. Do you mind working for attorneys that are out of state? I will pass the word around if you don't.

I drove to work and back today in the sleet and ice. I guess how bad it was or wasnt is a matter of opinion. A few slick spots here and there. Nothing that i considered bad. Alot of wrecks on the hwys. Good news is " THE HUMMER WAS NEVER CHALLENGED!" Thanks for those who responded. I will be going back to work in the morning it and it looks to be getting worse.I believe the H3 is up for the challenge.Temperature is estimated to get as low as 17 degrees by tommorrow night. Thats cold for us southern boys....BRRRRRR !!

OK, first realize, it does not matter what you are driving on icy roads, it can be 2 wheel drive or 10-wheel drive; if you drive too fast or irratic for condtions, you will lose it! Anyone driving up here in the Great White North can attest to that. Sorry if it appears I'm talking down to anyone in the upper tier states in the lower 48; no offense meant. For example, my ex wifes ford escort grocery-getter wagon made it through 12 Fairbanks winters without a problem! She drove slow and cautiously, and never got stuck. OK, back to the H3. Here's my observation based on driving in snow and ice and 35 below zero weather the last 2 months: My 2001 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab with Bridgestone Revo's seems to hold the road better. Sad but true. The H3 tends to want to fish tail more turning out onto a roadway whereas the Dakota doesnt. Traction wise in snow, H3 has been great, no complaints yet. Like I said, when it comes to ice, it's more technique than what you drive. Yes, I know studded tires can help, but you still need to know how to handle your vehicle with whatever they're riding on. OK, I'm off teh soap box now!

Thanks fellas. I guess that was pretty much what i expected to hear.I have the 33 inch tires so do you know if that helps any or does it not make a difference ? Looking for any more advice from those kind enough to offer it.
