Winter Advisory Warning

[SpursWoman]

Somebody with a 4X4 should go pick up Angel and drive her home! Come on San Antonians...REPRESENT!

There's a bit to the weather advisory: "4X4 vehicles are not any safer in icy conditions than are 4X2's ... and wider tires are actually more dangerous."

I'm right by Rolling Oaks mall ... I can go get her on my son's skateboard.

They make a relatively half-ass attempt at spreading chemicals/gravel/salt on bridges & overpasses, but mostly they just close everything down ... like that enormous interchange at 410 & I10. They aren't really that well-equipped to handle a massive ice storm, because they aren't a normal occurance here at all. We only have really bad ones once every couple of years or so.

That suck, but I guess it makes sense.

A 4x4 is better in these conditions than a 4x2, but it doesn't mean you don't have to be careful. AWD will help you, but won't save you if your not just as careful as with a 4x2.

Edit: and good winter tires make the biggest difference in cases like these.

I walked outside this morning and fell on my ass.

So far, this South Texan in Michigan has not hit the icy deck yet.

Of course now that I have said this...I am probably jinxed!
