Well I got a can of this stuff for Christmas in my stocking (candy for 
christmas? nah...)  I acted like I liked it but I figure it's such BS I never 
bothered to try it yet.  And since there is snow on the ground, I don't really 
want snow sticking to my tires and making traction worse... I'll give it a 
whirl once it drys out some.
