Winter has finally attacked ND in full force. In just one day we've had 10 inches of snow and we're do for at least another 4-6 in my area alone before the end of Wednesday. It's lulled now but to be on the safe side I called into work today (thank god I have some vacation time to cover it) because driving home yesterday (I had to leave early because I did not want to drive in that shit at night) was a nightmare. Hopefully the DOT gets into full force today and gets the roads cleared and sanded so I can get to work tomorrow since this Charger hates ice and snow (my god the ass end of my car was sliding every which way yesterday no matter how slow I was going).

Central NY welcomes you to winter. I used to slide in the snow like that all the time until I got these:
Snow tires ftw!
Wait a sec... you said sanded? Do they use a mixture of rock salt and sand there? Here is mostly pure rock salt but for a few winters the DOT used a mixture of mostly rock salt with some molasses crap to make it stick to the ice. That stuff was a mess. It'd stick to the bottom of everyone's cars and start rusting everything.

Mostly sand, they run a liquid ice melter (they use the dry shut too from time to time) as well but for the most part they sand the roads out here. I'm starting to wish I had snow tires but I just need to get used to how this car handles, my Buick used to do the same shut till I learned how to handle it in winter (got to spoiled by Arizona winters for those 3 years I was down there).
