How's the weather?

Words of wisdom and voice of experience.. speed causes almost every problem in a vehicle
Secondly, use of lower gears is a much better friend than your brake in snow

good news is I'm only driving to the airport to go back to where it doesn't snow.

unfortunately, I relocated to west Texas.
I'm now geographically closer to California than I am my home town.

The zero inch mark is about two tenths of an inch from the bottom of the ruler, so the total accumulation for this event is about 10.8 inches. Most snow we’ve had since 1998.

this will be the first time I ever drive in snow.

last time I saw any accumulation of snow was December of 1989.
and well I wasn't driving yet.

You’re dead.

The scariest feeling in the world is when you're driving on an icy road and your vehicle starts spinning. There's absolutely nothing you can do except pray until you finally crash into something and stop. Luckily for me that something was a snow bank and damage was minimal. Put something heavy in the back of your truck over the rear axle, seems to help.

Here's worse.. hydroplaning... with snow you semi-expect the slide.. but hydroplaning is totally unexpected... "

I grew up in the rainiest town in America (average annual rainfall).
but that has nothing to do with not buying Firestones. I don't buy them because they suck at everything.
