Thanks for the pics Oskar. I have Subys and find them to be great snow cars. However three feet is a little much for the little fellas. My Jeep will handle that, but that is another story. By the way, diesels don't do very well at -17°C do they? Diesel fuel can gel somewhere around there.

they do great in snow, but in the bigger snowdrifts speed is the key :D

and with the diesel; thats why we have jetA1 fuel on most service stations right next to the diesel pumps, you mix it 50-50 and then you have no problems :)
