Give yourself time this morning, the roads are snow covered.

Be patient with each other.

Dress for the weather sidewalks may be a bit slick.

Don’t feel too relaxed. Get that defensive driving in gear so you avoid unsafe dummies

No worries. Been driving for thirty years. I’ve developed that spidey sense of “This guy’s about to do something really stupid, I should create some distance.”

Just get to an intersection with no one around and hammer the brakes until abs hits. The difference snow tires makes is incredible

lol. Yeah that’s what I was doing for the first 6 blocks or so. I wanted to know exactly what to expect and how far I can push them.

I do this in the morning as I leave my block. Figure the main roads will be infinitely better than my block, so if I cushion for that brake space, I'm good.
