atleast they are better off than the fwd and rwd in summers or all season driving around. It just ruins our drive when they think they can get around and get stuck.

Blizzak WS series and the Michelin X-Ice/Xi2 are pretty good on ice, for non-studdable snow tires, though it's still dangerous to drive on it. They're the "real" winter weather tires, none of that Pilot Alpin/LM-whatever stuff are made for ice/deep snow.

The fog is leaving Precipitation which are causing roads to be little damp and with overnight temp reaching freezing temperature, it forms black ice lol.
I slipped in a parking lot while walking lol.

I actually haven't had any trouble with the ice in my car, yet. Yes, I have winter tires. Yes, I have AWD. No, I don't drive like an idiot. Yes, I do laugh at the poor bastards with all seasons or summer tires trying to get around when it's icy or snows. Yes, I do get annoyed the fuck out when they straddle lane lines or go slow in the fast lane when there are no cars, or few cars in the right/slow lane.

If you are unprepared for the weather, get the fuck out of the way. There are people who have prepared for the shitty weather who would like to be able to use the road properly without idiots straddling lane lines or going 30 in the fast lane.
