For all who don't often get this much snow be careful out there drew I bet most cars in your area are sporting summer tires. I hear a lot of people say why do I need summer tires I have all weather tires after they drive off the road and think of my father in law who was in the tire business he always said if all weather tires were that good tire company's wouldn't make snow tires..
tonight will be bad news; can't see the icy spots, glare everywhere, going to be a lot of vehicles in the ditches.
Once it gets icy, which this packed down snow has already gotten, it's been my experience that only careful driving and slow speed will work. Had a guy following me mimicking my driving, thankfully from a nice distance behind me. When I straddled the middle of the road in a shiny icy spot, I saw he did too. We crept up that road but kept up a pace that still allowed steering and stopping. I was in 4wd Auto. The latest Michelins, as do the Continentals, and other high tech tires have better silica rubber compounds, stays softer in the winter and in regular snow has surprising grip. I never felt myself slip today. Actually I did but only when I was hooning around in my UTV doing power slides in 2wd in the snowy fields. Juvenile but great fun.
