Driving 2WD in snow

[Katiana]

It was a front-wheel drive van and it fishtailed. Maybe it was possessed.

Thanks guys. Unfortunetly, a new smaller car is not an option. I am also towing a decent size fishing boat so i need my truck. There are not any Hybrids out yet that can tow, handle in the snow, and really make a difference in gas mileage versus what i have now. I might hang on to what i have for a year or two then keep it as my back up tow vehicle and buy a smaller hybrid accord for commuting. The house comes first!!!!

Well there is that. Catholics are helpful for such things.

You know, this is really silly to worry about snow. We've got 100° days coming up. We're more likely to see African Lions roaming the praries of Colorado Springs than we've got to seeing any snow for a while.

Just go the speed limit or a little slower in the snow and give yourself ample braking distance. You just have to be a little more cautious than usual.

Since we're on the subject of weather... does Denver get much fog?

In a word, no. Up north here, a few times a year. I don't know about the rest of the metro.

I have a Honda Civic with all weather tires. Front wheel drive would be better, but if you get some snow tires or studded tires you should be good. Just don't do 90 on I-70 in a blizzard with all the other morons.

Oh, just made me laugh

here's the deal I wrote News Blab 2008 - It's about News

To debunk his theory that there was an African Lion here. given his pictures and such, it was a wolf hybrid, thank you very much. it was NOT a lion, it was a wolf hybrid.
