Nor' Easter All Over Again

My Snowy Range Rover

This is what happens when the wind and snow just go at it in the Northeast. Apparently, over here in New Jersey, we're having about 10-inches of snow combined with 30 MPH wind gusts blowing snow all around. The roads are terrible whether they've been plowed or not. Cars have been slipping and sliding into other cars or ditches on the highway. Large 18-wheelers have Jackknifed leaving a mess a miles of traffic. What to do, what to do, what to do? There's a lot that you can do or should have done when faced with these snowy situations. You could have read my blog and saw the list of cars capable of taking on the snow, of which you can still read here. You could've also had a simpler approach when searching for a cheap all-wheel drive car. For example, the Subaru Impreza Outback or the Suzuki SX4 are two cheap all-wheel drive cars that work great in the snow. But, if these options don't work and you're stuck with your front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive car, the best thing you can do is drive slowly and carefully. Don't drive like an idiot. Yesterday, I went to visit my relatives in Pennsylvania and left there at about 8:00 P.M. While driving back, there was this one teenage idiot in a Chevy S10. This truck was modded out with big off-road tires and everything, but what he failed to address was the drivetrain of his vehicle. Off-road tires work best on a car or truck with four-wheel drive. His truck only had two-wheel drive and managed to block off a road causing more commotion for drivers. He eventually got arrested for causing a disruption. Luckily, I got home safely thanks to my mighty Range Rover. So, a word of advice: pick your car well and drive carefully. Do that and you'll be fine during this harsh winter.
