Heres another tip, you may see truckers doing this in the dry. Avoid coming to a complete stop if possible, brake far in advanced of the cars infront of you and slowly roll if you time it right you wont come to a comlete stop at lights. For stop signs ill crawl up make sure no ones around then go. If you avoid a complete stop you will be fine.

I dont know if you've been around the newton library but i thought it would be cool to drive down there..as i turned down and realized it seemed a few people have gone down, theres like 1ft of snow, i was crappin myself, but i made it through then drove by my high school and some a$$hat sees me coming and starts backing out his driveway...needless to say i gave him a mouthful.

Oh ya heres another thing, it may sound stupid but if possible try drive if your going up a hill in most cases your better off driving in the fresh snow because if you drive in everyone elses tracks, there tires spin, melt a layer of ice tht turns into water and acts like oil, if you drive in the fresh snow you may plow it a bit but atleast you will be the first so your tires will be on fresh snow and it will compact much better.

With these tips ive made it through 2 winters, last year being my first. At work i had to do parts deliveries in a 2wd frontier..as scary as it was it taught me a lot about winters.
