I am in Finland at the moment. We have a lot of snow right now after we had a lot of ice… People are driving cars with rear wheel drive without any problems because they all have studded winter tires. I almost can not believe this is not in the list: 0. USE WINTER TIRES - They make all the diffrence.

Loved the Wisconsin reference; I just so happen to live there. One other point you may want to think about adding is a dedicated set of winter tires. It's seriously amazing how much better traction they offer.

Garage.

Which is great if you never take the car anywhere.

Yeah, there's not a great solution if you have to park anywhere other than sheltered parking for more than 30m. Carry a salt canister and have lots of time to wait?

Small steps, hands out of pockets, phone in pocket and pray. Also, number 8.

There's nothing wrong with rear wheel drive if you know what you're doing. Don't get snotty with the rest of us just because you don't.

There are so few people who would knowingly take a RWD vehicle out on the ice that I consider it safe to assume that those who do know enough not to heed the advice of a lowly blogger.

Ah, the Jon Stewart defense...

I thought you were better than that.

I don't feel this is particular relevant to a technology focused blog
