First time that my LR3 saw snow!

This is just after sitting out for 30 mins. Not a blizzard, and it didn't really stick all day, but hey it's something.

What is distrubing in this picture is that is is clear that you didn't take the LR3 out immediately whence the snow came. Similar to kids on a snow day, it is mandatory to take your LR3 out for some driving fun for the first snow.

Agreed! Only viable response now is "I was waiting for the snow to build up a bit..."

Hahaha, so true. We've been in blizzards here during recent winters in the Northeast, and always like to take out the LR3 to play. Even my wife encourages a little joy ride right after a heavy snow, very scenic before the plows and cars start to hit the roads.

You're not in Florida any more CMG! Do you have prior experience driving in snow? If not, an empty parking lot is one place to experience the limits of traction, especially when braking. Snow mode on the terrain response system is very effective at numbing throttle response and adjusting traction control sensitivity, but the ABS only helps a little when trying to slow the momentum of a 3 ton vehicle in snow.

I had to leave for work. But next snow (here in WI I think we might get more ) I'm going to go play.

I've driven in snow plenty of times, lived in Chicago for all but the last 12 years, and taking annual trips to CO, and back to Chicago.

she's lying to you... they all say your their first.. Unless she's a clean one owner

 

[CMGRover]

It's probably its first, it was FL owned and driven for 4 years....

First snow a few weeks ago off Stage Rd west of the Springs.

This is how you should treat your LR3 when it snows. . .
