Default Be cautious people

We got our first snow here that stayed last night. This morning so far from my house I've seen one suv do a 360 on the hi way. Two cars slide right past the stop sign and into the intersection! Winter tires with studs are already on my truck. 4wheel drive doesn't make them stop, tires make you stop.

I just moved from northern British Columbia, Canada were winter tires are required in some areas after October 1st. Maybe 31st can't remember But most folks are well schooled in winter tires and winter driving. However in my new urban residence in the states it seems there is less education on the subject.
I talked to a few folks and they say they don't change their summer tires here!

Just be careful people it's more likely that it's going to be someone else that causes the accident

This is just a friendly reminder to be careful, not a tire debate. Happy winter everyone

Four wheel drive does not mean four wheel stop

I like that statement, that best describes one of the truths of winter driving
