Whenever I drive around after a good snowfall there are usually a bunch
of vehicles stuck in the ditch beside the road and usually about half of
those vehicles are 4WD trucks. Yes, 4WD/AWD does wonders for traction,
but it does absolutely nothing whatsoever for steering and breaking.
Whatever you do, do NOT let yourself be lulled into a false sense of
security with your AWD.

I do wish somebody would get all these Southerners to stop panicking and
get these Northerners to stop laughing at these Southerners panicking.
The snow sure is purdy, ain't it?

- Bill

how about getting canned soup or something that might be useful if you
are
stuck inside for a week.
or better yet, couple 12 packs of beer.

as for getting stuck... i've got AWD now, will be out playing in it.
