As long as the car starts you can go anywhere the ice will allow you to go. My current car is an '02 Saturn (front-wheel drive) and has started fine. I went out yesterday (the temp was much warmer - in the 20's) and chipped and thawed the ice from the windows. The drivers side door was frozen, but there was less ice on the passenger door so I was able to get in that side. I wish I had filled my tank the night before (you never know how long you may have to idle your car). My gas tank door was frozen shut, water had gotten inside the door so I couldn't just chip the ice. My brother (who lives nearby) had some de-icer that was safe to use on paint. The stores were sold out of it.

We got rain Tuesday nite which froze over nite, then sleet on top of that on Wednesday, and finally a light dusting of snow last night. There wasn't much traffic this morning, so driving wasn't bad. Most streets and highways have been salted and some were also plowed. You just have to slow it down and allow more time and space to stop. Dress warm (I do), keep a blanket in your car, a working flashlight, and a full tank in case you are stranded. Same for the house, keep a working flashlight, candles and matches, and non-perishable foods, etc.

According to yahoo, it's 16 degress out now. The sun is shining and reflecting off of all that ice. Pretty...
