1. Cables are better than chains.
2. Drive slow.
3. Stop slow.
4. Turn slow.
5. Start slow.
6. The main thing to remember in snow and ice: Slow, Slow, Slow, Slow,
Slow!!!

By slow I mean drive as though you had a raw egg between your foot and the
brake and your life depended on not breaking the egg...
