I grew up in the midwest and feel somewhat comfortable on snow covered roads. On snowy days in the Washington DC area (the few we have), I change our schedule so we leave at least an hour later than normal. That hour allows crazies to venture out and play on our public roads inevitably ditching their SUV's. Road crews can lay down more salt and cars can warm and clear the roads. Be mindful of hills on your route with turns or stops at the bottom. Most of all, remember that brakes can do more harm than good on an icy road. Standing on the pedal with the ABS clicking away while trying to negotiate a turn isn't always the smartest thing to do. Letting the wheels roll through the turn often does the trick. Press in the clutch and take it easy on that brake.
