Damn, the weather is getting bad here in upstate NY.

5. All season tires, True Dough...

The car actually did fine.

Most of the cars I saw were having a hard time. Fishtailing, 180 degree spins, etc. Also, it seems like too many people don't know how to regain control out of a fishtail. It's a wet snow, and the plows had not caught up with it yet. I have front wheel drive on my little car, wife has all wheel drive on her Subaru.

I should have taken the Subaru, but it worked out good.

We usually manage to avoid driving when it is like this, so it's not a huge issue for us. I normally don't have to drive anywhere over a couple of miles when it snows...local roads. Grocery store and gas station are exactly one mile away. Same with the shopping mall...one mile. But today was unusual in that I had to get on the highway.

The plow drivers are pretty good around here, but I think this one caught everyone by surprise. Once it stops snowing, they will have the roads cleared pretty quickly.
