FACTSS my 4wd vehicle got stuck one time on a hill literally got to put 4wd lock on it newspaper routes for me in NY were hard

Actually reversing also makes the tyres grip more as they are worn that way so its more edgy and grippy that way, but doesnt mather if your tyres are new. I once reversed up a hill with a truck thay is rwd and it worked becauee of what i just said :)

Also, reverse gears have more torque

This is also why backing into your driveway makes no sense unless you driving a rear-wheel drive vehicle or 4WD. Most cars today are front-wheel drive. If you need to punch through the hedgerow created by the plow you will need as much momentum as possible so keeping your drive wheels on the ground as long as possible is really important. So you want those drive wheels to be the last axle to bridge that snow pile not the first.

@@LowsJuan vehicles also typically don’t have as much clearance in the back

Everyone is not in a position to do that.

@@rickjames7576 fine, then buy a detached heated four car garage if that's more realistic!

My driveway is over 100 ft long. Sometimes we get up to 48 inches of snow in less than 24 hours. When I know a storm is coming, I park 10 feet from the sidewalk. That way I only need to clear 23 feet of snow (10'+5' swk+ 8' to curb) rather than 113' curb to garage). Also, his tips work for open parking lots or visiting friends. The windshield covers are now made for rear windows as well (giant plastic hooks attach to rims or wheel wells); mine also came with a pair of matching bags for the mirrors (string closures with slide beads, ala ski clothing): they all fit into waterproof storage bags (trunk or back seat floor).

This is the house part 🙄

Yes, that would always be my first tip! Garage for sure!

Thanks for the info!

Kitty litter or ice melt (safe for dogs) helps too. I think there’s a spray to melt frost and ice on your glass. Also one of those plug in to car lighter sockets. May not be available on all vehicles. Most of these mentioned can be found in the vehicle area of Walmart or in a car/truck store like Auto Zone. All even better if you’re retired now, you can just stay home. My Dad told me to at least keep your gas above the 1/2 way mark. Although we used to live off a busy street, our driveway was designed with a turn about. Circular driveways are nice too. I want one of those. Hoping to save up for that in Spring. Waiting on the guy to give us a price quote.

There are window cleaners now with rain repellent added. Just clean your windows and mirrors as usual, and you've added protection. You'll have to buff the windows with a microfiber towel after you clean them, but it's well worth the effort. Rain-X also makes washer fluid that contains their product. It will help maintain a repellent coating. It's worth every penny. If you're a detailing nut like me, a ceramic coating formulated for glass usually will last the entire winter if you use your wipers sparingly. A ceramic paint coating also helps snow slide right off your paint. Cheers from Illinois.

@@dougrobinson8602yep! i have the orange rain x fluid good to -25°f as well as water repellant on all my windows front to back inside and out and even my wing mirrors! i also use the LATTITUDE blades that have the water repellant on them and i have NEVER gone back! sure its pricey but man is it WORTH IT! my wiper blades last me like 5 years before i need to replace them! i also use good tires like accelera phi r’s for the rear and fullway hp108’s on the front for all weather traction and even in snow or rain ive had my abs kick in maybe 1-2 times! sogood visibility and good traction and control are KING in snowy or adverse weather conditions!

Thanks a lot! And good idea to make that prep kit!

Kitty liter &/or a bag of salt in the trunk can also side with fish tailing in slick conditions. I’ve has salt save my bacon. Upside down cat mats have helped me too.

Yes when it’s like powder it’s so easy when it’s like icy and snowy it gets annoying and when you have snow flakes on your windshield it gets annoying

icey snow also works, just not as well. It least the top layer can be removed and I can focused dealing with the bottom. We Canadians do this shit every winter

you stole my name mate 😂

I would disagree with only one thing... If you have a front wheel drive car, you are better off to pull it in nose first because the car will keep the area behind the tires relatively snow free. This will give you traction to back out.

@@VroodenTheGreat Backing into a parking spot is never about traction. It's because it's safer to back in rather than back out into traffic and pedestrians. And if your tires have so bad traction you can't get out of your driveway, then you probably shouldn't be out on the road anyway.

I didn't know it had a name like 'combat parking', but I've always done this because my job requires me to get in & go.

@@bobspizza7444 Ask any Class A driver. They know what I',m talking about.

Gets cold here and I never heard of such a thing. Maybe gravel but never asphalt. I’m throwing the bs flag with Bob

@@billbammerlin4666 Alright, Bill, and you too, Bob, pull up a chair, and let me tell you about all the ways cold winter weather can mess with you in ways you haven't even begun to contemplate. It starts with the most obvious. Fuel gels in the lines, clogs your filter and you are stranded. Moisture in the brake lines freezes and your brakes won't release. Happened to me while fueling outside KC, MO. A bottle of de-icing alcohol poured in the gladhands did the trick after some minutes. Despite blowing snow and ice, my vehicle was overheating. The radiator grill had caked on ice that was cutting the airflow thru the radiator. Happened on EB I-40 in NM. Had to stop twice and knock the build-up off the front. 5th wheel grease hardened to the point that the kingpin wouldn't release. Moved the rig inside a heated inspection bay. After 30 mins it had warmed up and started functioning again properly. Happened at a shop in Omaha, NE. Extreme windchill on the manual steering box hardened the lubricant to the point that the vehicle became hard to steer. Nothing to do about but to drive really carefully. Happened WB I-70 thru IN. Slush froze the shoes and drums together on about all the wheels of the rig. Had to break them loose with sprays of de-icing alcohol and taps with a hammer. Happened while parked overnight in KY. And finally, and this is to the point, the tires on about three of the wheels froze to the ground while spending the night on a shutdown section of WB I-80 between Laramie and Rawlings, WY. When I moved in the morning, two tires lost a small section of rubber, the third a larger patch that required replacing the tire. Winter sure has a way of building character.

@@shelbynamels973 sheltered ppl that take the day off or work from home n hire the kids in the neighborhood to do the shoveling for them dont understand the real world during the winter months. Ppl that drive passenger cars or trucks 20-30mins to work in the winter have no clue what the challenges are as much as a truck driver. Not many ppl do.

You can just pee on the lock. That will thaw it out quickly.

Do not do this if you have an electronic key. If damaged, they can cost up to $400. I found out the cost when I sent mine thru the wash (jeans pocket)

Do you happen to have a link or brand/product name? I have a windshield cover that has 'magnetic' plates along the edges, but they don't hold well. BUT it does have flaps that hang INSIDE the driver/passenger doors to hold the shield in place. That way, no one can remove elastic bands from around the outside mirrors.

Thanks! I was wondering recently how to avoid it!

It actually will scratch the paint :) only lightly but still noticeable

I retired from an electric utility, working in the IT/communications field services department. Snowstorms are a real problem there, often making us 4X4 up mountain roads (hoping we won't have to dig out too many times) to the mountaintop microwave sites. Filling up in advance is incredibly important. In aviation the saying is that the most worthless things in the world are the runway behind you and the altitude above you. For winter driving the same goes for the gas in the stations.

Most people don't think about it until they need the extra traction!

Lol you will now have to experience snow to understand!

Yep, to understand you'd have to experience it. So many of my friends that never get it wish they had it, to which I can only reply "don't. We call ourselves a frozen wasteland for a reason"

It's not just so your car is toasty when you get in. The engine needs time to heat up before driving off, so the fluids start circulating preventing engine damage

@@kimpbay and don't forget the transmission.. auto or manual giving them time to warm up optimized their lubrication plus they shift way better

This also seems like common sense but maybe not

Also idling the vehicle warms up the lambda sensors. If you go driving on a cold day right away, the engine is runnin on maps and burns a lot of fuel while driving. Idling on maps spends relatively minimal fuel and warm oxygen sensors give stoichiometric air-fuel mix.
