Default Re: Help with deep snow driving

I forgot to add:

I was high-centered once in this impossibly thick snow (kinda like what fell here recently). Anyway, I drove on top, but then sank and the entire underbody was hung up. So I had to go inside and ask for help (I was at a party) and a guy with a Jeep said just put a log/stick under the rear tire. I found one that was about 4" in diameter, and shoved it under the tire. This got me thinking about the dealership demo where you climb the hill with only one tire not on the rollers. So I put it in 4L, locked the rear and gave it some gas. Just like that I backed out... I mean, we had dug a little bit before the shovel broke, and I had tried going back and forth with no movement. But that log did the trick. So I just wanted to pass that on.
