Used to live in that white crap and hate it. Here's few tips,,,in an emergency to get traction put your car mats in front of the wheels that move ( rear wheel drive put in front- front wheel drive put in front ) Understand one thing about driving in the tracks in front of you that at some point ( esp. over bridges that area will freeze ) so you might want to slow down and use some of the snow as a source of non freezing area ( that means slow down to about 25 mph )
Just call for road conditions before you leave as it's not worth it to go when the conditions are bad. |

Go slow and turn off the radio. You want to be focused 100% on the road.
Once you reach you destination, find a vacant parking lot and do doughnuts! ![]() |

A lot of good advice here.
Just keep in mind that slow is your friend. Also, remember that physics class you took where Newton said that an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force? Well, Newton discovered that while driving a Mustang in Buffalo...and the unbalanced forces tend to be other cars, trees, or guiderail. Your car won't like braking and for most cars (fwd, 4wd, awd) it will want to go straight when you turn (called snowplowing/understeer). Just treat everything gingerly and take it slow and you'll be OK. Generally the 90 is clear except during lake effect snowstorms along the lake (between Erie and a little south of Buffalo). Everything predicted for the next week will be in this area. If you're heading into the city itself or the immediate suburbs, you should be dealing with nothing more than wet roads unless you're in the middle of a storm. AND MAKE SURE YOU'RE STOCKED UP ON WASHER FLUID. SALT IS A *****! |
