This is from my parents' house in South East Minnesota.
This is my dad... he's about 6' tall:
If I am standing on the back deck, reaching up I can barely brush the roof edge with my fingertips (I'm about 5'7")
Again, in perspective, my dad's 6', and the snow's up to his knees.

Not sure yet... the front end feels out of alignment now. Shimmies on the road but that could be ice and snow compressed up in the wheelwells or something... sucks.

At least in New England we generally know how to drive in snow.
Except most women, but they can't drive most of the time anyways.

I was like 40 miles out of town looking for a clients office. I swung a few inches wide to pull in to someones driveway to turn around and to my surprise, what appeared to be compacted snow on a road, ended up being a snow covered 3ft deep ditch. Civilized people put reflectors and or flags in ditches during the winter to show people where the road ends and ditch begins. Apparantly in Ed Gein territory, the tractors, ATV's and snowmobiles and sled dogs have no problem navigating without them so who needs em?

Oh, it looks like you were just driving and slammed on the brakes or something.

No, that was me rocking back and forth, trying to get the fuck out of the ditch.

Dunno, looking at the picture, looks like a pretty visible long ditch the entire way.
Maybe you just drive like a girl.

Actually if he had a Hummer he probably would have broken down before he got there.

Did you try putting your floor mats under your tires? Or was the incline too steep?
