Our elevation is around 4,000' here and one of last snow storms dumped close to 3' of snow here , we've got drifts close to 5' in the yard and my snowmobile is buried under a bit more snow than that .
In 2017 before the end of December we had received more than 180" of measurable snow thankfully we get enough wind to keep the snow moving so it fills in the coulee's and valleys like no other .
My old Toyota 4 Runner has 4 mud and snow 8 ply tires on it my water well service rig has 10 ply mud and snow tires then if needed I've got extremely heavy duty tire chains th as t I built for both of them .
You wouldn't believe how much snow I've plowed through to get off the top of the big horn mtns after a successful buffalo hunt that pickup was chained up for over 140 miles up on the mountains .
With a older Ford 3/4 ton 4wd I had to stop and clean out the snow in front of the radiator , and had close to 2' of snow on the roof of the cab and topper after busting through a snow drift to get out of there .
