Unfortunately there is segment of drivers who feel having good winter tires is all that's needed, sorry to disappoint you out there. Add to that common sense using that common sense to drive speeds not written on any sign, but according to actual road conditions.
Stopping (and going) is improved by using proper winter tires, but it's no were near the same as bear & dry asphalt.
I go out of my way to drive when it's snowing like this. Far fewer cars on the road, and it's really fun to drive in the snow.

For sure. It's the only time I get to practice my sliding. My wife hates it when I do a four-wheel slide around a corner on dry pavement, but if it's icy, she's more forgiving.

Re: Snow falling
Just serving notice here that it's 12:24 am and it's STILL coming down. Snow. More and more freaking snow.
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

Key this is as long as you live north of 49th winter will & does happen. Only way to escape it is to become a snowbird and go south.... Southern US, Mexico, etc... etc
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

That was pre-climate change. You should have moved here sooner.

Re: Snow falling
That's a given. Those are the drivers I don't want to be anywhere near.
Truths can be backed up by facts - do you have any?

Naaahhh.....It's the road condition's fault for not providing the maximum legal speed limit for driving on.
