We get the occasional snow/ice storm here in NC. NC doesn't plow/sand =
much - they just wait for it to melt a day or two later. However, being =
an ER nurse, I have to drive in it before Mother Nature takes care of =
it. I have an F250, rear wheel drive with LSD. I can usually get around =
with its "all season' tires. But when we get ice covered with snow it =
gets very difficult. I do keep a few bags of sand in the bed.=20

I am considering either real snow tires (I doubt studs are available or =
allowed) *or* chains.=20
