A) Are you out for a family drive?

B) If you do have to take the family out, bring winter boots/jackets/gloves/etc. So you can walk to shelter instead of sitting 7 hours waiting for a rescue. Most of these people got stuck in town somewhere. Short walk to get somewhere that's not your stuck car.

I like driving around in snow storms as much as the next guy. I think it's fun. But act like an adult and plan accordingly if that's what you're going to do. Keep good tires on your car. If you're too cheep/poor for snow tires, keep chains in your car. Bring boots. Bring a tow strap. Bring a damn shovel. This storm wasn't a surprise, how hard is it to just load some useful shit into your car if you must go out?

For today's entitlement society, Real hard.

CO has always been, dress for summer, be prepared for winter.
