That would be great! With chains on, you must reduce your speed ...most manufacturers(car and chain) recommend 15 mph top speed. When the chain breaks, they damage your car.

My neighbor is from Syracuse. She learned to drive in Syracuse. She always puts her wipers up right before the snow. I guess you don't speak for all the drivers from cold weather climates


Nice hyperbole, PP. And 100% wrong.

I bet PP has gotten her blades frozen to the windshield and burned out the motor and cursed her bad luck.




She's BAAAACK........

LOL!

Done in Colorado (at least in my childhood), but as said above depends on the type of snow. They would make no sense here.

People do this in Western NY.
