[DML] Re: Snow Driving

["Gerald Deutsch" <Jerry1@xxxx>]

Kayo,

It's simple. If the DeLorean has around 6 inches of gound clearance, then it
can rise up over the snow since it is compacting some of it as it goes
along; at least an inch or two. Remember, the snow might be 8 inches deep,
but the deLoreans tire isn't hitting the pavement either. The compacted snow
under the tire gives it that extra boost up. Understand? ---Dan
