Our First Snow

I hope you have new tires on your car! We had our first real snow this weekend and boy was it slippery. I had the privilage of driving in it last Saturday and Sunday. I drove in a 4×4 this year. It made a huge difference!

Just drive safe. Remember to start out slow and slow down farther down the road than you would usually.

If you get stuck in snow you can always try some sand or cat litter behind the tire that spins. If you can, dig your tires a path before you try and leave.

A reader had added: “When driving a rear wheel drive vehicle. If you get stuck and one wheel spins, you can try applying the parking brake slightly, only slightly, this fools the rear end gears into sending torque to the other side of the car and may get you moving again. Don’t forget to release the brake once you are moving again. Good tip if you can’t find sand or cat litter.
