[QUOTE="preciosa, post: 1429107, member: 353969"] I live in northern Idaho. It is my first year here and we've had about 70 inches of snow. Just when I thought things were bad, it warmed up and is raining, which melting the snow and revealing packed ice beneath. It is so slippery in my driveway, I can barely stand, although the streets around town are okay. My driveway also goes down from the street to my house, so I have to back up in ice to get out of the driveway, which just doesn't work. I have a front wheel drive vehicle with regular tires. I just want to make it through the winter this year and then maybe next year I'll have money for snow tires. I plan on parking in the street until the ice is completely melted, but what if I get stuck in ice on the street? What is the best method for getting out of ice if you are stuck? I had no problem with the snow...just dig myself out, but the ice seems impossible... [/QUOTE]
