Nothing ... And it's not warm here all the time.. ha
Thats what All season tread is for... If you can't make it up a hill there's always another way..... Very seldom do we see more than 6 " per storm and the road crews are pretty good at removal..

Don't use any right now -- we've been though a couple of good sized snow storms to (10-12").... the Honda just plows right though it, as long as I can get out of my driveway.
LOVE the traction control and ABS -- it’s a dream (compared to my previous car)

i have used blizzaks for the past three winters on my car...and have been driving in the snow (loving it!!! :D ) for 7 yrs. taught myself in an old 90 accord dx auto during a snowstorm... :D i have never gotten stuck, except once, when i hit a patch of ice and slammed into a hillside for 6500 bucks in damage. :censored: :bawling: still runs great though!!!!! ;)

Guy was nice enough to give me a set of chains when he sold it so I got some, they fit the Camry as well so it's all good :)

never bothered with snow tires or anything, but it snows a decent amount here. ice is my fave! my dad made a huge deal of teaching us ho to drive in the snow, so i've never had many issues. i'll be re-learning some this winter though since it's my first time with a stick..... :eek: here's hoping the accord is as good as the 2 civics were for winter driving!

i have to relearn too.
went from an AWD to FWD vehicle. not to mention being a much bigger car. the good thing is i'll have the better part of a year in the Accord by the time the snow starts. all the old driving habits should be long gone by then. :D

:banana: I voted "nothing....live in a warm place" :banana:
I'm doing the banana dance because I grew up with Mass winters, so I'm happy not to have to worry about it now. Although, I do kinda miss the studded snow tires on my 68 Camaro...
