My vehicle is small 4dr FWD with best winter tires going.

As vehicles sit at an intersection the heat created by the engines and off there wheels melts the snow and at - whatever it was yesterday, the melted snow is compacted and creates ice. Particularly worse in the early hours when there is less traffic. Even really good winter tires are probably going to spin on sheer ice.

Not if they have cryo crystals. Not studs, but seriously not far off. Tested on ice - they work!

Again, I'm not saying the roads are bad, I am saying however people are making up lanes ad hoc and pedestrians are walking on the roads to avoid unshoveled sidewalks.

Also more compaction from cars stopping and starting.... Causing slippery intersections.

Just went to Osoyoos and back. Roads were ok. But the scenery is fantastic.

On a day like today, I wish I could go out and photograph stuff.

Snow tires, anyone got them on yet?

everyone in my family puts them on by oct 15th at the latest

My car has all seasons and is parked for the winter. Not a car winter car by far, although i do want to go to a nice big open lot and have some fun
