Considerable drifting - snow up to 12 inches deep in places. The bottom layer is wet, icy, dense, and super slippery. Two newer vehicles within 300 feet of this reporting location near Lake Harriet in Minneapolis are stuck - they have so called "all-season" radials. A neighbor's Tesla with proper snow tires (Blizzaks) drove out no problem, smoothing out and squishing down the snow under it. |
