Studless snow tires work well on slush and packed snow. They get traction through wide, deep grooves and lots of irregular surfaces with sharp edges. This allows the rubber to cut through snow and grip the road. Studded tires provide the best traction you can get, even when you're encountering ice.

You can probably safely drive your AWD (all-wheel-drive) with all-season tires in light or moderate snow. But it's a common misperception that AWDs will drive like tanks in slick conditions. It's recommended that you have either winter tires or snow chains on your AWD if you're driving in a blizzard or icy conditions.

Composed of a durable plastic, these plows are scratch- and dent-resistant throughout tough, winter conditions. The slick surfaces of poly plows also allow snow to easily slide off during use, reducing stuck-on snow that could hinder effective path clearing.

Why are pickup trucks good in the snow? Pickup trucks are good to drive in the snow and cold weather because most of them can be driven in all-wheel drive (4x4), feature excellent weight distribution and the ability to grip a variety of road surfaces.

Excessive leaf matter on your lawn going into winter is bad for several reasons. First, it will smother the grass and if not removed very soon in the spring it will inhibit growth. Second, it can promote the snow mold diseases. And finally, turf damage from critters (voles, mice) can be more extensive in the spring.

But as we identified earlier this year, the only thing on your car that helps in snow or on ice is a high-quality set of winter tires. Additionally, the true four-wheel drive that most pickups come with isn't as responsive to changing road conditions as the all-wheel drive in some passenger cars, like Subarus.

Any mid to upper size utility ATV will plow snow just fine. It's recommended staying in the 400-800cc range, not because of engine power but because of weight.

I can drive in snow 5-7 inches deep, which is about the clearance of the car. Once your wheels leave the ground, you're screwed. However, what makes me uncomfortable is seeing all the 4WD trucks and SUVs bopping around like they have total road control. That's what makes driving in the snow dangerous for me.

It is a great vehicle for the snow. I would try snow tires and see if it improves your situation.

In states that prohibit driving with snow on your car, having snow on the roof can result in a violation and a fine. As with many motorized vehicle regulations, the laws vary from state to state. So can the degree to which police and highway patrol officers enforce their state's regulations.

The City of Minneapolis will not declare a snow emergency Friday, but will send out plows to clear streets and alleys. St. Paul has declared a snow emergency effective 9 p.m. Friday night.

Curtis plows are great, they have well exceeded my expectations. They are tough and built to last. I have had no problems whatsoever with mine. They have the best mounting system IMO, and have the most low profile truckside mount.

Snow packed and icy roads create challenging driving conditions. The use of snow chains or studded tires may be advisable. NAIPTA and FUSD bus routes on main arterials and major collectors may be impacted due to icy conditions.

That slush can create serious problems when you're driving, and it's very different from driving in ice and snow. While driving on snow and ice usually means proceeding carefully so your tires don't slip, slush is grabby and can suddenly slow your car down.

Yes a 2wd duelly is worthless in the snow. Mine is and it has an 8' by 11' flat bed (heavier than a regular bed). Even with good tires they still suck in the snow and ice. You could always buy a set of studded tires for winter use.

The Chevy Tahoe is a very good vehicle for driving in the snow. The combination of four-wheel drive and a heavyweight vehicle offers great traction and enough grip to get you where you need to go in snowy conditions.
