i've been in snow one time and it wasn't fun, luckily i was a few miles from home, go slow if you hit snow.

I don't think I'd change my route, but be careful.
You'll be fine.

...I drove across 5 states in a new Kat several years ago during a major ice/snow storm....one of the toughest trips I ever made as we traveled the interstate for a few hours at 5-15mph and could barely keep it on the raod....but it did as well as most of the cars and better than all the ones I passed that were off the road

I have driven my Prowler in the snow over a dozen times. It handles about like any rear wheel drive car, pick up truck, or van. Try not to stop while on an uphill section of road and have a light right foot! It would be best to drive something else but if you get caught in a snow storm or (like me) it is your only vehicle - just proceed with caution.

I wouldn't suggest loading up the Prower trailer and heading for a ski resort in the Winter!!

Would snow pack up under the front wheels and fenders? Just wondering.

Super Kat Bird:

Congrats on the purchase of Bobs Car I know that you will be more then happy with it, the last I had heard from Holly is that someone was interested from Wisconsin. Thank you for helping them out, they are a great couple.

As for the snow I got caught once it scared the heck out of me white knuckles and all but came out ok if I had it to do over again I would go out of my way to get home to stay out of the slick stuff, those wide tires don't like it much.

God bless you for helping them and may he guide you home with a safe trip.
