One of the simple rules of driving in snow is that you cut your speed in half and double or even quadruple your stopping and following distance.
Another is get off the road if you can and avoid the pile ups when road conditions get bad.
I just had to purchase some plank flooring. It came in boxes that were about six feet long, about 1.75 inches thick, and about 6 inches wide. Unbelievable how heavy each box was.
It got me thinking in a different way how heavy the loads must be on some of those trucks.
Several years ago I had an accident while driving in the snow—on a level road going _ten_ miles an hour...
It turned out it was a sheet of ice underneath...on ice there is no safe speed.
