Winter is now here, bringing the challenge of getting your car released from the snow.
2) The straighter you can steer your car, the less resistance there will be. In a rear-wheel drive car keeping the front wheels straight also allows the rear wheels to push the car in the direction they intend. Obviously, sometimes there is no choice in this matter.
3) If you have traction control you may want to turn it off until your car is unstuck. This will allow the wheels to keep spinning if you are making slow progress instead of cutting the power as soon as they start to slip.
6) Keep your tires properly inflated. Make sure your tires aren’t excessively worn.
I used to sprinkle kitty litter by the tires. It usually worked.
When I lived in the country and drove a pickup I always kept a few things in the toolbox for just this sort of occasion.
- A folding shovel
- A machete
- Rope
- A gallon of water
- A bag of kitty litter
Extra credit for anyone who can figure out what the water and kitty litter were for…
anuran: I’m guessing the water is to drink in case you get thirsty. 🙂 However, I think I deserve extra credit for the post just above yours!
A machete. Now, why didn’t I think of that…
Partial credit, haifagirl.
On really cold days mix enough water with the kitty litter so that it freezes into a solid clump.
Thought I’ll revive this old thread litoeles harabim
My biggest concern of this snow storm is that Mike Bloomberg shouldn’t Chas v’Sholom be Mechalel Shabbos in anyway whatsoever on account of this snow storm.
