<p>[QUOTE="Ffx95, post: 12216067, member: 198184"]Issue is when you’re going to areas that are known to snow there might be no “waiting it out”. Another thing is different areas handle weather differently. Upstate NY usually pre salts the roads before a snow storm and I’m not sure whatever the snow plow drivers dump on the roads but I know it gives very good traction even when it’s wet icey and slushy. While sprinkle of snow and hail down in Georgia is a deathwish with all the black ice accumulating fast. Then you got the places like the Wyoming Colorado Utah mountains…. There is no waiting that out you gotta chain up and go thru it or run extra miles and go around from the south. Lake effect in the Great Lakes area is sometimes unpredictable too I’ve went thru it when they said there was going to be very heavy lake effect only for nothing to happen and times I got caught up in a blizzard and whiteout conditions when they said there would be only a few inches. When I have business around that area honestly I just go and hope and pray. If it builds up bad I will eventually park it though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
