Driving in Snow???

[Lucky_Hippo]

Be very careful. If you havn't grown up driving in the stuff it's hard to get used to quickly.

A few tips? Think of it as driving a boat on land. When you want to stop you have to slow down way before the intended destination. Watch your speed around corners because the car continues to go straight no matter what cuss words you yell while spinning the wheel. And lastly remember that everyone else driving on the road now has a boat too.

Main thing is watch your speed and be prepared to stop way before you need to. You'll do fine!

Something that a few of my friends seem to have forgotten from last year:

all wheel drive means that moving is a bit easier; stopping is a different story.


I think the best advice has already been said several times: take is slow.

I think this is a pretty important one to remember. Just because you can get going easily doesn't mean you can stop. Sometimes people get a false sense of security when they can get up to speed without feeling the tires spin out, and they don't know how slick everything really is.

Everyone else has been repeating the other really good stuff though. And you definitely won't need chains or studs in WNY

Do not get over confident, period.
