I'm an Ohio native and have experience driving in various weather conditions, including a severe snowstorm that resulted in a snowfall rate of two inches per hour and left us with around four feet of snow. Despite this, I would never risk driving in an ice storm.

The stupid think is you can spread salt/sand/cinders with any dump truck and a spreader attachment. It’s not expensive, and saves money and injuries. Hell, up north on steep hills they have plastic 55 gallon drums of salt and sand and people nearby go out with shovels and just throw it on the road. Go to Lowe’s and buy 15 bags of play sand and put them in your pickup bed. Then you have weight and abrasives. We called it Belgian 4 Wheel Drive in Wisconsin.
