Since our gp is tank on snow so straight is easy. If it is curve lane then I slow down to 20-25 mph. Of course I have all season tires too. I have been driving in snow since 2001. I never got any accident. wink

Its not your car you have to worry about. Its braking when some dumbass cuts you off.

^ that is right. even if you are the best driver on the road, all it takes is for the worst driver to make your day a disaster.

sometimes driving TOO slow will cause issues too, like driving 10mph in a 40mph zone, when all other traffic is at least doing 25mph.

with storm warnings and TV/radio I can't believe that some of these people NEED to be on the road. Oddly enough, the starbucks parking lot was full, but then again that is a necessity.

we have more snow in the forecast for tonight, so I'm sure tomorrow will be a real treasure.

ahhh I get it. It is like 1-2 inches snow on left lane. All cars are chicken to go left lane so I'm good lol Now, it is melting because of raining. yay. If it is over like 5+ inches then I won't go 55 mph because my car can't handle that. Everyone did pretty good job. I don't see any accident on way to work.
