<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I am considering either real snow tires (I doubt
studs are available or allowed) *or* chains. </FONT></DIV>
