So I was wondering if anybody has been driving their Vans in the Sierras
this week.  After spending the weekend at Kirkwood and getting enough snow
to actually close the mountain, my friends and I made our way home over
Carson and Luther Pass very (VERY) slowly through howling wind and driving
snow in his 4WD pathfinder, and I found myself being very thankful to not be
in the van.   And very sad that I was thinking this.

However, I've never used the van in bad weather other than pouring rain, and
I was wondering if anybody made their way through the same storm in their
van, and if so, how they fared.  I saw some small 2wd drive cars, but most
of them were embedded in snowbanks or other cars.  (Worst conditions I've
ever driven in!)

Anybody make it through?
