In NC some parts received around 10 inches.
That is alot for this area. It was nice powder, so I went out for a short run before it got that deep.
Handled very nicely.

"Back in the day"...

This is Artist's Point...the end of Mt. Baker Highway and the highest point you can travel by car even today (5,000'). It's our club's goal for our August 9, 2017 Mt. Baker A-scent. I have seen this much snow here in early July.

We're hoping there will be a little less August 9th.

We figure if Model A's were making this trip then, it will be even easier now with paved roads and our overly maintained cars.

Our snow storms have finally let up. Our '30 A pick up is wearing its snow very nicely this week. We live about 45 minutes from Mt. Baker which was shown in # 3 posting. Our Model A Fords climb Mt. Baker very easily. I usually use the same gear going back down the mountain as used when going up, second gear.

Great photos, I bet the A was handling better than a modern car, Thanks for sharing!

1930-fordor · 01-09-2017, 09:07 PM

Yes, mine handled very good.
Now I'm going to get a set of nobby tractor tires so If we get a good snow again, I'll just put the snow tires on my closed cab and have a ball next year.

most modern drivers look down their nose at our cars, unable to comprehend why we drive them. I'd love the see the looks on their faces as you cruise past them.

Here's a couple of pictures I took in my driveway a couple years ago:

Very cool! I'd love to take mine out in the snow but as soon as it starts back here they are out with the salt trucks, Ugh!

Post 5 would make an awesome Christmas card.

That's awesome, thanks.

I like driving the tudor in snow, before the roads get salt or sand.
Somewhere I have a photo of my tudor next to a snow bank higher than the car, taken the day after the blizzard of 78, when the roads were finally cleared by the national guard with huge bulldozers.
