Trip on Saturday ...Mustang VS SNOW!!! I need advice!!

Jaydee · 01-19-2001, 10:20 AM

First the weather report (aka-the bad news). As I'm writing this, it raining and anywhere from 30 to 35 degrees around here, meaning its just either wet or a big ol' skating rink depending what part of the state your in. It's all supposed to change to snow tonight, continue thru tomorrow afternoon, looking at 4 to 7 inches total. If you gotta do the drive during this weather the best advise I can give you is to definitly put some additional weight in the trunk/back seat as close to over the back wheels as possible, and take it slow. I assume your going to run down the I-95 corridor and from experience they usually do a pretty good job of plowing and sanding it from Jersey to Conn. - can't tell you much from Jersey on south. If you can do the bulk of the trip on Sunday that will probably be the best driving day, as the roads should be pretty clear with just a little left over precipitation. Good luck, drive safe and try not to have a coronary watching all of the road s*** getting all over you car - I know it would be more than I could bear to watch if it was my car.
