If you never lived where it snows and were moving North to where it does snow, what would you have liked to have known? What would you do to prepare?

    So you’re the dickweed out on the roads doing 10 mph in the snow.

    Stay home

    Some of us know how to drive in the snow

    (Slow on ice is acceptable, but if it’s an ice storm, stay home anyway. No reason to wind up in a ditch because you wanted Twinkies)

      Slow down in general. You ain’t the good guy here, crying over someone driving slowly IN THE SNOW.

        I’m not out there tailgating people and passing, but I’m sure as hell wishing they’d piss off back home and let those that know how to drive get where they’re going

        I don’t care what you think, and I’ll die on this ditch.

        HILL! This… damnit

            You have to go faster to get on top of the snow. Like a speedboat. Especially in a rear wheel drive vehicle. I recommend the Dodge Viper

            (/jk, in case it wasn’t obvious)

            All jokes aside, there’s a vast difference between driving slower in inclement weather and doing 10 mph in a 40, as the top commenter suggested. Now, was my original comment a bit of a shitpost? A little tongue-in-cheek? Sure!

            At the end of the day, we just want to get home safe. But if conditions are bad enough to be doing 1/4 of the speed limit just to be safe? Stay home. People that drive that too slow in the snow are just as dangerous as those that drive too fast. And it’s not just ability, but equipment as well
