Snow Primer

This is for all you jackrods out there who only have to drive in the snow twice a year.


If you are unfortunate enough to have to park outside: clear off your hood, trunk, and top of your car too, that shit is flying in other people's faces, not doing this is just as rude as pissing in a drinking supply and thinking it's ok because you are upstream of everyone else

Do not accelerate or decelerate when going through the heavier snow/slush between lanes.

Stop hammering on your brakes/gas like a 16 year old's first time in bed, that will only cause pain. Slow and steady, if you aren't getting traction lay off the gas a bit then try again.

If you are sliding take your foot of the gas, sliding slower>sliding fast. If you have anti lock breaks stomp on the brake like it's a spider and steer. If you don't have them pump pump pump
!
Be able to see! If you are getting frost inside your car run the air conditioner. Likewise, clean off all your windows, not just the windshield. If it's icy turn on your car and blast the defrosts while you scrape.

Just because you have a large vehicle does not mean you can just 'drive like normal' no matter how much you paid.

If all else fails, stay home.


I did get off my street and all my errands run, but as you can assume from the above it was at the cost of my goodwill towards the community. On a happier note I <3 Olathe, they are doing an awesome job keeping the major roads clear, even with the snow still coming down!
