My girlfriend swallowed her pride and admited her Ford Fiesta wasn't going anywhere in this storm. She drove my jeep to work. Meanwhile, my buddy was having some trouble just getting out of the parking lot. His busted front axle makes things difficult in the snow. I took the jeep for a spin in this mess and i have to admit it made for a bit of a challenge in some parts.

Put some dead weight in the back, let some air out of the tires to get a fold on the outer edges of the tire, and probably have no problem getting around. Did your 'nurse' use 4wd? She probably didn't have to. Most of the time, the snow in the tires is what gets you the traction to get around in the snow.

she def needed 4wd, at least on the hills. i took the jeep for a spin on the roads and was surprised that in some areas it was kind of challenging.  my buddy eventually made it to work in his dodge...4wd would have made it easier  lol
