The day we got caught in the snow, that's what I wanted--the most untravelled piece of road I could find. Dealing with the snow just takes time and patience. Dealing with dangerous drivers puts your life in their hands.KuroNekko wrote:I deliberately took unpaved roads that had less traffic so other drivers would not get me stuck behind them.
People have said it gets like that here too, so we need to get ready.sx4rocious wrote:we got 11 inches of snow on Thursday on top of about a tenth of an inch of ice and sleet. I work in a prison 36 miles away. If I'm scheduled to work that night, I better be there of have a good excuse. My SX4 did the trip effortlessly @ 50 MPH.... I love that car!! My wife is afraid to scratch the Kizzy, so it stayed parked in the driveway all day and she took mine.... LOL
I'm not actually convinced tracks are better. I used to live on a mountain about a mile high and our fire department had half-tracks in their fleet for winter use. I recall them once coming to an accident in one and I asked a fire fighter if they were good in the snow. He shockingly admitted that they were not that good and that he preferred a 4x4 vehicle with chains.SamirD wrote:The day we got caught in the snow, that's what I wanted--the most untravelled piece of road I could find.

I was really relieved to get home safe and without a scratch. I know every interstate in our area had a multiple car pile-up and several sections of Interstate were closed.
I'm almost tempted to just get these and be done with worrying:

As long as you (kinda) bring it up SamirD, what the heck is HSV and MKE?SamirD wrote:People have said it gets like that here too, so we need to get ready.
