Very probable..... sand & clays can combine.... reference
Clay, sandy, brwn, some gravels, trace silt.
Aggregate cap of 0.2m of crushed 15mm minus. The fractured face count of
over 90% ensures a lock.

What are you Bobsprit.... totally out of your league again?

Ha Ha Ha.... look...stay out of discussions about things you don't have a
clue about... like sailing, winter driving, tools and construction... avoid
embarrassment

Once again Mooron proves that I'm the #1 most creative guy here!!!!
Tell us, Mooron, what are the stopping distances on 6 inches of powder
vs. wet road above freezing?

Bwahahahahahahahhaha!

What mass, speed and area of friction circle would be involved in your
Hypothetical Scenario Bobsprit? What depth of Powder, Temperature....
Standing Water?.... "road" is ambiguous Bobsprit... Asphalt?, Concrete?,
Chip Seal?, Gravel?, Clay? .... has sand, de-icer or calcium been added to
absorb water or melt ice?

Shall we engage a scenario you might be familiar with... a city street?
You claim better traction in a foot of snow than on a plowed street!! Didn't
You?

Heh Bobsprit.... you think Scotty notices 6 " of powder on the road when
driving his rig?

Actually, snow of any height does help one stop.

Sorry, Mooron. Your memory failed you again. We were talking about MY
SUV in conditions found yesterday. You actually think that stopping
distances are shorter on ice and packed snow from a plow?!!!
Okie dokie!

aHEM.....I Believe you stated plainly that "And if you knew anything about
driving you might know that a plowed street can be worse than unplowed."

distances are shorter on ice and packed snow from a plow?!!!


Stopping distances are a function of mass, inertia and friction surface. Now
that this is explained... let's delve further.... powder snow does not
provide friction of any sort..... nor does it radically impede forward
progress unless it exceeds your ground clearance. Windrowing of snow to the
sides of the tire will impede directional stability.... this results in loss
of control. It is not a condition imposed by friction.

Again..... slow your vehicle to maintain an adequate friction circle to
each tire and minimize momentum to existing conditions. No plowed road shows
glare ice under snow. Even minimal compacted snow surface will provide
traction. Traction is control.

Hope that was easy enough to understand for you.

So now you're planning to backpedal and agree that it's the case with
many vehicles, but not Scotty's truck??
Oh, okay!!!!

Bwahahahahahahahaha! Mooron, you screwed the POOCH!
