on Tuesday, President Barack Obama was looking for something to fill his

His destination? The White House briefing room, where reporters and

Driving in Snow and Ice
The best advice for driving in bad winter weather is not to drive at all, if
you can avoid it.
Don't go out until the snow plows and sanding trucks have had a chance to do
their work, and allow yourself extra time to reach your destination.
If you must drive in snowy conditions, make sure your car is prepared (TIPS)

While 4WD and AWD may maximize traction better than 2WD, that doesn't
necessarily translate into making it a safer vehicle. Oftentimes, drivers
believe that because they can accelerate in snow just as quickly as on dry
roads, they can do the same in terms of cornering and braking. On the
contrary, 4WD and AWD do little to aid in cornering and nothing for braking
ability on wet, snowy roads. Once moving, the physics of 2WD, 4WD, and AWD
systems are pretty much the same.

I am assuming that you want 4WD/AWD for safety on snow and ice. 4WD/AWD
systems provide some but not much added safety! Only the convenience, that
you don't have spinning tires when starting - or the convenience to get
started where a 2WD would not be able to get going. Or the convenience to
get up a snowy pass without spinning tires or without mounting chains.
However, once moving the physics for all vehicles are equal. 1WD, 2WD, 4WD,
