Knowing now to get your car unstuck in the snow. So many people just gun it, but they’re just digging themselves in deeper. The key is getting the car to rock back and forth in the dip and once you reach the peak of the dip, then you give it some gas as it rolls back down the dip to use gravity to your advantage.
And if you aren’t going to get snow tires, at least get all season tires that work well in snow. My last tires were purchased with that goal in mind and it was a night and day difference vs my previous all seasons (that seemed like they might as well be slicks if there was slush or wet snow on the road).
Getting a good rock on is a huge thing. It’ll get you out of like 90% of snow stuckedness. That last 10% will be digging and getting traction mixed with rocking.

Kitty litter helps with traction and if you have room, some boards too.
