I've had vehicles float on high snow; you hear the scrapes then see the flattened area behind you; next is the float feeling while you still have some suspension droop to let the wheels grab - time to start figuring out if you can reverse out of it...

Around here it's not so much the snow, it's the hard packed ice boulders that accumulate as a result of the plows. I don't worry about plowing through some fresh powder, I worry about a big chunk of ice taking out my front bumper.

I miss my FJ80 during the winter, it was big, old, tall, and cheap. I just drove through/over all obstacles.
