It's snowing here and I never drove in the snow. How do the Roadsters do in the snow? Like to give it a try!

With your hills in Easton, I would be very cautious. How experienced are you in regular T driving ? I'm a flatlander in New Jersey, only had the '26 out in the snow after the plows cut thru.

There are videos on YouTube of a 4 wheel drive conversion on a WW1 era Runabout that are interesting..... created it's own path.

Here are a couple more. It is a good idea to rope the rear wheels.

I drive my T roadster PU in the snow often. I've never had any big issues. I drive really slowly and maintain insane following distances. The traction is really quite good and the braking not that bad either.

You can make great donuts in the snow, too.

Donuts?? Can you make hot chocolate to go with them?

I am new to Ts but I was amazed at how well it went through the snow. I turned off the road and into the field where the plow had pushed fairly deep banks and it just cut right through and kept digging.
What a blast. No need for a snowmobile here.
