I have had my Rig in some serious snow and have never had a problem. If you are serious about that, make sure its in 4 hi lock and don't go plowing into snow banks.

Thanks for the cute little D bag picture. Get real Bro. As for my situation, I made a U-Turn on an unplowed street. I was on an incline and there must have been a sheet of ice underneath the snow. As a point there was over two feet (snow)on the street. I went Hig first then low (4 wheel) and I just kept slipping. My next move was to let the air out and deflate the tires but that would have been a pain in the but.
As for operator error, there was none. This is not my first truck and I have been driving off road for the past 20 years. Stuff happens to everyone but I was not expecting this from the H3.
It may have been a fluke, I don't know but I sure was not pleased with the situation.
It really shows people how petty you are by posting your little HA HA joke. Maybe next time you should think twicw before rushing to judgement. Thanks for sharing your hgh school graduation picture with the board.

Damn, I want some snow to play in... I am in central Texas and the most we ever get is about 1 inch every few years. I am orig from the midwest and am used to the snow and miss it only for events like taking the HUMMER out.
I guess I can laugh at all because it was in the 70's today and I was wearing shorts.. ha ha
Have fun you snow bunnies.

Obviously it's possible to get stuck in snow or mud in anything, even in an H1 or a tank. I'm honest enough to say I had mud up to the axles once on the H3 and had to get help. Overall, I've been exceptionally pleased with the H3 and my few times in snow, I've really liked it. There are two schools of thought on tire pressure in snow - one says the higher the PSI the heavier the traction footprint, lower obviously gives you more surface area and better tread cleaning ( I like low, but not all agree). Mud and sand there is no discussion (go low), but if you want to have fun start this discussion with someone on snow patrol at a ski area in wheeled 4 x 4 or ask the Sno Cat operator what he drives to work and the psi. 4 Wheel Drive Magazine had a good article and tested tires on the same vehicle at different pressures in deep and shallow snow about 10 years ago - the traction differences were minimal and the conclusion was pressure didn't have as much an affect in snow as it does in mud, sand, or loose gravel.

At least I've never managed to get my minivan stuck in the snow.

No need to think twice, you posted saying you got stuck making a u-turn on a city street in the snow. I asked if it were one of three possible situations behind the post. You answered my question by letting us all know that it was # 2, more to the story. It does suck that you got stuck but it can happen and does to every type of vehicle. It obviously makes more sense when you give the whole story about 2' of snow with a sheet of ice under it on an incline.
