Plain and simple: a body in motion tends to stay in motion. This afternoon, the Twin Cities got dumped with 6"+ of thick, heavy snow in a matter of 6 hours. We're now expecting a second round overnight which will bring an additional 4".
I couldn't believe the amount of people I saw stuck in the ditch. What is so hard about paying attention to your vehicle and surroundings?
When the weather gets like this, I RARELY stop for stop signs. I RARELY attempt to use ANY major freeway unless absolutely necessary. I plan my route around known inclines and sharp turns. My goal is to keep my car in motion at a pace that's both safe while providing the momentum needed to overcome 99% of snow drifts and the like. I can't remember the last time I got stuck, and that includes 2 winters driving a Panther with 18" low profile snow tires on the rear only.
