I grew up in Northern Idaho driving muscle cars year round. Yeah, I'm old, but at least I know how to drive in snow.

Some great advice so far. Particularly the posts that advise to soften all of your actions. No sudden movements in steering, braking, or acceleration.

Sounds like you won't have to worry about it.

I've only crashed once due to slick roads, and that was when I moved to Iowa for a few years and experienced freezing rain for the first time. It's like black ice on steroids.

I was driving 15 mph, on studded snow tires, going around a sharp 90-degree corner on a rural highway that was slightly slanted. Suddenly, the car just slowly started sliding sideways off the road and into the ditch.

It was comical. Never seen anything like it. Every surface was coated in an inch of pure ice.

That was almost 30 years ago and I've never crashed since.
