Winter

Don't do it if you can avoid doing it. If the road isn't plowed and there 3 inches, don't even attempt it. I've driven my Mustang through an ice storm a couple years ago, and some of the roads weren't plowed yet and there was around an inch of stuff on the roads. I didn't get stuck, almost lost it a few times though. I wasn't praying that I wouldn't wreck the car I was praying I wouldn't die when I DID wreck it. It took me 2 hours to make a 20 minute trip. The stang had 'Ultra High Performance' summer tires, get a good set of wiinter tires if you think you're going to go through snow.
