New Q for you Unfortunates in the white, soon-grey zones
Are there any areas, cities (other than enroute to ski playgrounds) which require chains? At all? Under certain circumstances?

If so - are 'snow tires' then deemed an adequate equivalent?

(Or is it all left up to Darwinism and Tee Vee er 'manufactured consent' via infoterrorment?)



Hmmm - maybe a Hum-Vee *could* have some rational purpose: if it's left to Darwin out there.

New No chains required anywhere around here, as far as I know
But then, I tend to stick to the City during winter.

Milwaukee isn't really all that bad for driving in snow. All it takes, except for maybe one or two days per winter, and we tend to sit those out, is decent tires and sane driving. Which means slowing down when the roads are slippery, and realizing that 4 wheel drive doesn't help you stop. And go out and play a little in a parking lot or something every winter, so you know how your machine acts in a skid.
