8 inches of snow (so far!)
5 degrees Fahrenheit for a high temp,
0 degrees Fahrenheit for a low
(that’s around -18 C for metric folks)
25 mph winds - snowed all day.
we live out in the sticks in the Midwest.
Another reason I didn't move back there.. but..

Woke up this morning to a blizzard condition! The snowdrifts are almost a 1/4 of an inch deep. I sure am glad we stocked up on groceries, because what is left on the ground could be here for weeks! I need to get me one of the blizzard badges!

You might be south of my area. I've still got some of the snow and ice.

the Gladiator LOVED it!! Watched others spin, hit the ditch, etc. Not us! ABSOLUTELY HANDS DOWN the best truck in the snow, straight off the showroom floor! No mods, no lift, no need!!
I like driving over the big piles of snow in the parking lot!

Yep! Nice!
It's funny how these looooong wheel bases make stuff like this look pretty "underwhelming".... That's a 4 foot retaining wall I'm parked on. haha. I should make it a hood of a car next time...

What wheels are these? Looks killer with the silver paint!
Thank you - basic wheels - nothing fancy: ProComp 7069 - I paid $128/wheel from Quadratec but it looks like they have other similar options for less. I would have gotten the set of American Racing wheels (a brand I am more familiar with than ProComp) but at the time Quadratec was sold out...

here are a couple more photos one brand new and the other after a bit of wear in without shiny rubber...
