UM people snow is dangerous. First off decide if you really have to go, not only is there the risk of you running off the road and hitting something, there is also the risk of somebody running into you! Ok so if you really have to go you want maximum traction, snow chains help and in some areas are required, make sure before you need to use them for the first time you practice putting them on. Nothing worse than being out in the cold with no idea how to use them! Once in your car, prepare yourself. Start engine and put into low range 4wd. When you take off make all movements smooth and steady, too much throttle or brake will break traction and this is when you run into trouble. Also turning the steering wheel too fast may cause problems too. Just remember is you lose traction you also lose steering. It's all about common sense, if you don't need to go DON'T

fdwalker.... Keeping your tank low may not cause damage to the fuel pump but you will suck up any crud in the bottom of your tank, causing filters to become blocked before their time or other blockages elsewhere in the system. Also less fuel in the tank means more air in the tank and this can cause evaporation of fuel.
