Snow Day in Puget Sound Washington

[Native Images]

I was surprised to see snow yesterday morning. It snowed all day until 2 hour after the sunset. It’s been quite awhile since I’ve seen snow here here in Pierce County Wa. I drove around about 60 to 90 minutes in my 2025 lightning Lariat extended range and I must say the lightning handled the slippery roads just fine. The difficult part was brushing all the snow off the lightning before starting my snow day. I gave the lighting a good fresh water rinse this afternoon as most the snow had melted giving extra attention to the wheels, shocks, wheel wells and undercarriage. All in all it was pleasant snow day in puget sound. Everyone be safe out there and enjoy the ride.

Yup, it was fun. I had same issue clearing the snow from the windshield, other than that it was smooth and safe drive.

Yes, the Lightning has similar inconvenient nooks and crannies on the 'hood' to remove snow and ice from that always annoyed me about my Ranger, same for pollen and acorns and small leaves, all which ends up blocking air intake, interfering with the washer fluid jets, etc.

That said, our 2015 Prius is probably worse - it has all the problems with the hood and adds a hatch that fills with all the same types of debris, clogging the drainage holes, and when you go to clean it out, it'll fall into the back of the car to boot.

But, once you get on the road in the snow, the Lightning surpasses any other vehicle I have ever driven in ease of handling and stability, even in snow covered icy conditions. No fish-tailing (unless you load them with a few sand bags in the bed over the rear wheels) like other pickups.

Do you have any "native images" of the snow around Puget Sound to post? Thanks. Edit: Saw one on another thread.
