Four wheel drive.
Lugs on tires not freeway tires
Or chains.
They use studded tires where there's snow all winter.
Driving in the snow for rookies is dangerous

You will quickly realize you can’t just punch it, easy does it when accelerating, new cars have traction control but still be safe, also you can’t just jump on the brakes, anti-lock might engage but still, invest in good chains, don’t go cheap, and always put them on when advised by highway patrol, practice installing it prior to heading out, you don’t want to fumbling around in the snow/rain and cold, invest in leather gloves and keep them together with the chains, best of luck! and be safe. Also it’s good to have an emergency go-bag, a small duffel bag that has everything you might need, water, flashlight, glo-sticks, etc.

You have to make a distinction between snow & ice.
Driving in freshly fallen snow? Not so bad... it slows you down... like driving in sand.
But when snow melts and freezes into ice? That's when things get dicey. (Pun.)
Especially "black ice".... you can quickly find yourself spinning completely out of control with zero traction.
Even chains won't help on "black ice".
Bottom line? Avoid driving until ice thaws or roads are "de-iced".

Definitely drive under the speed limit in snow and follow the tracks already created. Chances are tires hdvr melted the snow/Ice
Black Ice is terrible, driving at night or early morning is not recommended because that is when anything that did melt, is freezing again.
Four wheel drive vehicle is highly recommend.

Dear Sylviarisktaker,
Don't drive in the snow.
The road is very slippery & frosty.
You and your car will end up off the road in the frost.
There is a reason why some dude by the name of Robert Frost wrote a poem titled 'The Road Not Taken'
LoL
