  • A snow storm rolled into Sioux Falls on January 5, 2015. Chyanne was dismissed early from school, so I went to pick her up. After deciding not to try to take her home, then go back to work we returned to the station, packed up my stuff and headed home. Here's what we encountered.

    Tip from Montreal Canada: Put heat full-blast on the windshield defroster mode and turn the wipers down a notch; try to keep them on the mist or "Intermittent" speed as much as possible. Also avoid using the widshield-washer. Instead turn the wipers off when you are behind another vehicle for 10 seconds or so and use the spray from the car in front of you (washer fluid will freeze and completely block your view for up to several minutes. And ALWAYS keep a bag of kitty litter (traction for when you are stuck) blankets, flashlight, space heater, water bottles, a small shovel and a pair of socks and gloves - toe and finger warmers if you can find them, in a little box in the trunk In case you fly off the road and help may take a while. NEVER SLAM THE BRAKES! especially if the car starts to fishtail or slide :) :)

      ParteeDowne tip from Montana: in winter use winter formula windshield washer fluid with alcohol in it and it wont freeze when you use it.

      Apply the tobacco powder from a cigarette on your windshield olfrom outside, it works out well for me. Try it.

      If you pause it at 0:35, he just needed to remove the ice build up on the blade.

      If you live in SD you know it's a bad idea to try to use wipers in an ice storm. The only way to fix this is to spray de-icer on them.

    There doesn't appear to be any really steep hills there. It's pretty hilly here in suburban Seattle and it's a real *bummer* when snow accumulates to more than 3-4 inches.

    I used to live in Norfolk Virginia. If it snows two or three inches there (which is rare), everything shuts down for two or three days which is about how long it takes for the snow to melt away!

    Put some rubbing alcohol in for wiper fluid and keep a spray bottle full (can dilute it 1/2 & 1/2 w/water) to defrost your side windows.😉

      Studded snow tires have long since been outlawed in the state of SD! And chains are only good for about 40 miles, at best & not legal to use in the city limits {except for the plows & graders}. Previat!

    Dude, you need to move back to whatever dry road city you came from if it scares you this much to drive in that little amount of snow, and get your tires changed to snow tires.
