Date: 2022-12-10 04:58 pm (UTC)I had seen snow before I moved up here from the desert climes of Phoenix. Before we married I came up for the winter, and my SUV wouldn't make it up the hill! So we parked it down in Cloudcroft, and it got buried. So we just left it there. It wasn't AWD and didn't have snow tired and I wasn't in a rush to get home. After we wed, we traded in my car for an AWD Toyota with acceptable ground clearance - and it was an almost snowless winter! The next year - now the NEXT year we had a good snow year! And in one year I got that Toyota stuck in pretty much every spot that my wife got stuck in her first several years up here! And that was WITH snow tires! It's been many years since I've gotten stuck: improvements in tire tech, I'm more careful and now recognize how I got stuck before.
