[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1216026, member: 3187"] Personally, I [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/161783-chicken-run/"]chicken out[/URL] if there's any snow.

While a lot of the time there is some in snowy conditions, occasionally you will find a bit where there is none. The worst is where snow has compacted into ice, and it's just melting. Get more than a yard or so of that, and I guarantee you [B]will[/B] go down unless your outrigger legs are [I]very[/I] strong. Of course, when you try to pick it up, your feet will have no grip either. And, the next car to come along won't be able to stop, you won't be able to get out of its way. [/QUOTE]
