    As I recall the preferred method south of I40 is to park in the middle of the road until the National Guard comes and rescues yerself...

    Chaining is for the othe guys. My company won't ask you to do that and will reroute you out of snow EVERYTIME. We got it like that! :) year and a half running to MN, never had to throw them and never sat!
