Driving on Snow or Ice
Most of the time, those places where your tires meet the road probably
have
good traction.
However,
if there is snow or ice between your tires and the road, you can
have a very slippery situation. Youll have a lot less traction or “giip” and
will need
to be very careful.
What’s
the worst time for this? “Wet ice.” Very cold snow or ice can be
slick and hard to drive on. But wet ice can be even more trouble because
it may offer the least traction
of all. You can get “wet ice” when it’s about
freezing
(32” F; 0” C) and freezing rain begins to fall. Try to avoid driving-
on wet ice until salt and sand crews can get there.
Whatever the condition
-- smooth ice, packed, blowing or loose
snow -- drive with caution.
