OK, We left Coalinga CA at 9:00am, CHP escorting over the I-5 Grapevine, so we decided to go through Bakersfield on Rt 58 then down 395 to I-15 and then the 210 to I-10. Destination was Desert Hot Springs. Well halfway on 68 it started to snow. as we turned on to 395 there was 2-3 inches on the side of the road thanks to a snow plow. Had a semi in front of me. About 4 miles up the road was a car overturned on the left side. The truck c=slowed down to 45. 2 more miles on the right was a semi WAY off the road could only guess he slid off there. The truck in front slowed to 35. Back as we turned on to 395 I was in T/H mode and 4 wheel drive high. Drove that way for 32 miles when we cam to a stand still. After about an hour we moved one mile and were at a point we could turn left. now there was about 4-5 inches of snow on the road. We found that I-15was closed, as was the Grapevine, and Rt14. We drove into Hesperia, CA and had to drive another 6 miles where we pulled into an ELKs Lodge with some RV sites. The Lodge grounds were covered with 9" of snow.

To answer your question. Yes you can pull the Monty with the D/M on Snow. As Phil said S L O W and careful.
