I am in FL now so no snow but I lived in PA. The only time I got stuck in the snow was when I went thru a drift and sat the truck up on the frame so the wheels were not on the road. Ice is the worst. I would go out and drive in a parking lot after a snow and spin around after a snow just to get the feel of braking and turning. If there is ice stay home if you can.
I do stay home during our rare ice/snow storms!
 
Here’s the quick 4WD roundown.

4WD Low - for your thick sand / snow where you wont be going more than 5-15 mph. (See what the OEM suggests)
4WD High - for your packed sand / snow where you can drive faster but still need some X-tra traction.
4WD AUTO - This setting (if you have it) is like AWD…can be used at speed but it’s still suggested that there be some contamination on the road…wet, packed snow, rocky road, etc…

Weeeeell, we finally got the boat out and hit the ramp at extreme low tide. Now I know this area from when I used to clam there as a kid for summer jobs. I know the route but had forgotten a couple of little tidbits…like how to embark off the ramp and approach the ramp at low tide🙄. This particular ramp has a zigzag pattern you have to take…I’ve only been launching Kayaks over the last twenty years so had forgotten the ins and outs…

Anyhow we get out and after some cussing and dragging a loaded boat across the pluffmud sinking to my knees, we finally get out and basically had the place to ourselves. Some pro’s in skiffs zoomed by for the back bays, but we trundled to the second bay and at around hour three…just as the Solunar Tables predicted we got into the fish! Started out catching some pin fish, then got three speckled trout, and a HUGE doormat flounder! I’m guessing in the ten lb range! He sadly had to go back because we have a moratorium on flounder now…only four or five days to keep them in September…😫🥲😭

Had a great end to an otherwise run of the mill weekend. I hope y’all had a good one also! I was too tired to cook the fish last night so just filleted them and cleaned up the mud mess. Looking forward to that tonight.

Thanks for the 4WD tutorial! I do have Auto 4WD on my mid-sized SUV.

Sounds like a fun, productive day fishing! 🎣
