use large bags of cheap cat liter and when you get stuck it helps provide traction
I love driving in the snow! When the first snow comes, I go to a large parking lot and play...
I do this because I don't want to panic when someone near me makes a bad move and I have to react. Knowing your car and how it handles in the snow can save you. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
Well what are your thoughts? Love it? Hate it? Roads are pretty icy with drifted snow over top right now. Ugh.
I'm a native Texan.
Anyone have pics of this sno? Am I spelling that right? You guys mean like, cold rain right?

I live in western central portion of the lower peninsula of Michigan and my house in the woods is on a hill about 1200 feet above sea level. About 50 miles west as the crow flies is Lake Michigan at about 600 feet above sea level. This time of year the west/north west winds blow cold arctic air across that 150 plus miles of open fresh water the snow starts to pile up, and 18 to 24 inches overnight is not an uncommon thing. My work place is 86 road miles north west of home and all but 11 miles is on 2 lane blacktop through the Manistee National Forest. Even more fun is the lack of light, it is dark when I leave home in the morning and the sun is setting when I leave work.
It is not the snow covered roads through dark uninhabited forest, it is not the ice covered intersections without lights where the white tails stand, it is not the snow driven by gale force winds into a frenzied blinding blizzard, it is not the fact I have 2WD Chevy 1/2 ton.
It is the turkey's that bother me the most, those wild, unpredictable birds need to be respected and kept away from as they can react strangely and without warning or reason, especially when they are behind the wheel of a motorized vehicle.
Exactly like it. Think of unflavored sno-cones all over the place. And if you look hard sometimes you can find yellow flavored!

The worst part about it, is that everyone thinks they are a good driver. In my opinion, the better someone thinks they are at driving, the worse they actually are. If you are comfortable and care-free, you are not paying the road the attention it deserves. It only takes you looking down at the radio or phone for a split second for something disgusting and catastrophic to happen. Driving professionally was some of the most terrifying years of my life. You see things unimaginable, snow or not.
Ever see any deer in that field? Nice vantage point for a 220 swift!Here is another snow pic ... this is from my office window.
WEEEE!!!
Going down the highway 3 weeks ago and a van is coming head on at me on a divided highway. He got out of the way.
North Texans can barely handle driving in rain. Ice and snow basically shut this place down. I have been deemed "neccessary personnel" by management, so if we do get some slick stuff, I just leave the house an hour early and pray the whole way in to work.
