Question:
We got about 2 inches of snow yesterday morning, and while the roads look pretty clear I assume there's a reason that most of the schools in the area are closed today. I've lived in California since I was 11, so while I've seen plenty of snow before, I've never had to drive in it. Anything I should know before driving in snow for the first time?

real simple: drive slower, stay in lane, make predictable moves and always use blinker, and decelerate earlier than normal when slowing or coming to stop, try to use breaks only to stop slow roll.Always remember people in 4X4 think then can drive like normal, it can't be further from the truth, 4 moving wheels help with traction, but do nothing when jamming on the breaks.

can you put seat covers on racing seats?
if you have to get up a snow covered hill you cant creep up it, you should get as much speed as you can and try to coast up it and maintain a constant speed. acceleration and stoping are the hardist things to do. if you start sliding get off the brakes and use the stearing as "skis" till tou regain traction.
