I repeat it enough to my local friends, if it snows, buy snow tires. Or "winter tires". All seasons just don't cut it.

It's not the tires, people just can't drive in the snow... I learned to drive in the 60's and never bought snow tires and never had an accident in the snow and never got stuck. Before front wheel drive and before many 4 wheel drives there were not nearly as many accidents as today... but today people just don't know how to drive in the snow, especially if they drive front wheel drive cars or 4 wheel drives, they feel they are unstoppable.. then they find out they can't stop...and even having snow tires won't help that.
