We Do here in CT - But they Salt the Roads to Death as they Plow. Plus AWD and 4x4 is a Must Have here.

most people do, depends on where you live. In IL we drive in this stuff every year, it sucks but you learn to respect the snow and drive cautiously, not like a limp dick, but cautious.

[@ftecconn]

In New England they Plow/ Salt and we have 4x4s Its Winter People. The Southern States need to buy some Salt.

[@polygon-viewer]

Missouri is hardly a Southern state. And we have salt, and brine solution too. But when it's 2°F, it doesn't work that well, and it snowed hard from 10am to 7pm.

[@4149stonepony]

Missouri has salt and plows. But temperatures below 10 degrees with salt just makes it more wet. In STL it was just above zero all day and salt is just useless at that point. Here in Chicago it was the same thing they salt and plow, I wish they would not salt below a certain temperature because dry snow is easier to drive then wet icy snow. But people in the NE have no clue about subzero weather or driving in it.

Um alot of accident happen when you stop in the fast lane if you're having trouble on the roads alot of magger car crashing happens because you made a great A mistake stopping in the fast lane ? Why probably because roads seem dangerous so merge to the slow lane but don't stop in the fast lane if don't have to.? You then loose trackchine and speed and could likely get stuck in those Lane's? (Merge over to slow lane don't stop in fast lanes thoughs are we're magger grade A accidents usually happens) then get off freeway try using side road.
