Driving in the Snow. How to Avoid The White Death. By Our Student Pharmacist, Jin Kim.

It’s been very cold here in Ohio this winter. There’s still a lot of snow sitting on the ground of Plain City. The seasonal scenery is very beautiful these days, but we all know that these snows can be dangerous when it comes to driving.

I would like to give some of my tips on driving in the snow. Also, I would like to share my secret of hitting the jackpot at a casino. Very different ideas? Think again!

So how do you hit the jackpot at a casino? The answer is very simple and it’s a truth testified by many frequent casino players. When you go to a casino, do not play any games. Then you will hit the jackpot! The wish of all casino players is to get their lost money back. If you don’t play, you can’t lose.

The same logic applies to driving in the snow. If there is a lot of snow sitting on the ground, then you should try to avoid driving until the road clears. This sounds boring, but you will be far away from any trouble. If you stay home, you can’t get hurt on icy roads. Jackpot!

But what if you have to drive in the snow for reasons like going to work? Then you must be very careful at all times and drive slowly. Both accelerating and stopping takes longer on snowy, icy roads. So you should keep an extra distance from the car in front of you.

I’ve seen many people driving all-wheel drive cars as if they were invincible. The sense of over security has led to many car accidents.

Additionally, make sure to have good winter tires and have your tire pressure checked frequently. Having good tires is very important. According to a study by Michelin, a front wheel drive car with winter tires outperforms an all-wheel drive car with all season tires. There is a clear difference between winter tires and all season tires. It is worth getting snow tires for cold winter days.

It is also a good idea to keep your gas tank full. If you get stuck for a long amount of time, you can use your car for a warm shelter. Try to carry some blankets, water, and snacks in the trunk for your benefit if you do get stranded. Having a full gas tank also prevents water condensation from forming in the gas tank.

Finally, you might say that you have not learned anything new from this article. However, you must keep in mind that although you may be good at driving in winter conditions, there are people out there who might not be as good as you are. So always be very careful and keep that extra distance between you and other drivers.

Or the better option is to stay at home and hit the jackpot.
