We lived in snow country all our lives, and for decades 9nly had 2 wheel drive vehicles, and didn’t get time off. Some storms were bad enough that we had to wait for the snowplow to go through before we could get to the jobsites, and driving was miserable, near whiteout conditions with the winds that always crop up right at the end of storms, but we made it.
Then we got a 4 wheel drive vehicle- heaven on earth! Could go most anywhere, BUT the downside was that IF you got stuck with it, you were really really stuck lol. We didn’t have cell phones back then either. We learned to carry shovels, sand both for weight and for traction, and an extra set of warm clothes incase we ever got stranded. Thankfully we never did- decades of perfectly safe traveling (though white knuckle traveling at times to be sure). There was no “work from home” options available then, nor should there be except for perhaps certain jobs I suppoxe now
Guess us older folks are tougher than we thought. 🤔😂👍
Yeah, I remember driving through heavy snow storms with rear wheel drive cars (up hill, both ways) before we had cell phones, and we always seemed to manage getting around.
Try this one trick!
PONY UP FOR SOME NEW TIRES EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS!
The libertarian in me hates to say this, but sometimes I think it should be a law, that any time police are called to the scene of an accident during weather conditions, even if it’s just leaving the road and not involving another vehicle, it should be required to check the tread depth on the offending vehicle, and cite the dipwads driving in snow on bald tires.
