5 or 6 inches in my area of NC and still coming; even the NASCAR guys have trouble on these roads
Pick up trucks with no weight in the back and RWD might be a bit worse.That looks more like 1 inch.
Still a rwd Caddy is a poor car to drive in that weather.

I was in Austin last year on a very cold morning, for a flight. The pilot comes on and says the plane needs to be de-iced. OK, living on the north coast, no problem.Shuts everything down even at an inch. There is very little treatment of roads and these people either drive normal speed (5 to 10 above the limit) or crawl. Put the two types on an untreated road together and you get chaos.
In a light snow a few years ago before I retired, I traveled from Ft. Bragg to Raleigh (1.5 hour drive) and counted over 200 vehicles spun out or disabled along the highways. Even if from the north and you drove in it all of your life, there's no reason to risk it with what madness ensues from the locals.
They have little experience on snow covered roads in NASCAR.5 or 6 inches in my area of NC and still coming; even the NASCAR guys have trouble on these roads

After 15 minutes, a pickup truck pulls up. Dude gets our of the truck, grabs a ladder from the back, straps on a device that looks like a bug spray can, and proceeds to walk up and down the wings spraying them. i laughed like crazy.
3" and mid twenties in Atlanta. Al Gore: where is the global warming?Yup. They closed the entire post down today AND tomorrow. North Carolina at its finest. Only an inch so far down here in Fayetteville

But it can be fun if there aren’t any pine trees in the vicinity.That looks more like 1 inch.

One can only learn how to properly drive in the ice/snow if behind the wheel of a high-HP RWD vehicle. These FWD vehicles give marginal drivers a false sense of “driving ability”.
More snow in Atlanta this winter than in Madison, WI, so far at least.3" and mid twenties in Atlanta. Al Gore: where is the global warming?

Says WHO? RWD is absolutely fine (it's FUN actually) - so long as you're not shod with performance or meh all-season tires in the slop...
I'm guessing Junior's Caddie is a CTS-V with AWD and if he's running around with 400+ bHp in the goo on OEM Michelin Pilot Sport 35-series tires, he was asking to center-punch that innocent pine tree.... one too many concussions for Jun'yah?
hate to break it to yah' but with all-season tires your AWD car is really no better than a lowly RWD or FWD ... in fact it becomes worse when driven by a dingbat who thinks AWD = immunity to loss-of-adhesion ...
Highway medians littered with AWD "crossovers" and SUVs during snowy conditions is testament to that... #southernspeed
Wow, this is quite a long post regarding a 5 second comment I made about that car.
That caddy is certainly a poor car in the snow. RWD, FWD, AWD or NWD.
RWD is fine. FWD is fine. That car? Tough to drive in the snow.
And the center punch? That was Jr. driving his vehicle... which was probably a pickup (given the winch in the photo).
