If you never lived where it snows and were moving North to where it does snow, what would you have liked to have known? What would you do to prepare?

Moving to Michigan from wv has taught me one thing, people don’t really realize how slick ice and slush really is. I man the mountains even if you are going slow you’ll slide up and down the hills and turns, even small ones. Up here where it’s all flat and straight lines people go 80 through ice that they probably don’t realize they can’t stop or even really turn on effectively without huge risk. TAKE IT SLOW always be sure of road conditions and you ability before going out

I've heard that people use snow tires. How does that work? Does everyone have 2 sets of wheels at home that they switch with the seasons?

Yes

Well, also no. I mean, I do, and so do many of my friends. But many people rely on all seasons. It's... Not the best plan. But a lot of people do it.
