{"text":"Anything I should know about driving in this white crap? I am in Buffalo NY and they are saying snow with 40mph winds so any help is appreciated at this point. The only help anyone has given me is to go slow.","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Don’t listen to anyone that says you should run your engine brake. They’re dead wrong. Like @sean1970 said no engine brake, no cruise. If it gets too much PARK YOUR TRUCK! \nEverything in that trailer is insured and can be replaced. You may be insured but I’ll bet your family can’t replace you. \nNever let ANYONE guilt you into driving when you don’t feel comfortable or safe. It’s easy for others to say something. They aren’t behind that wheel. ","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"40 mph winds? if you're not rolling over 65k I would park it snow usually isn't too bad during the day because traffic tends to keep the road clear just keep your rpms as low as possible so you don't spin and try to keep the wheels going rather than stopping, but wind is tricky. Drive safe","replyToPid":0}

","text":"I did drive that day but where I live snow and wind is just what we deal with. like most of the places around here we have 2 seasons 1 is road work and the other is snow. I have been doing good so far and have been using all the tips everyone here gave me. Thank you everyone.","replyToPid":282660}
