The fine people of Jalopnik have spoken, and we have listened. You’ve given us your very best tips for driving in winter weather, and we’ve responded by compiling a list of the very best ideas you’ve given us. Throw on those snow tires and get driving!

The age old snow tires vs. no snow tires debate rages on. For my husband, at least, snow tires are an essential.

Some solid advice for all walks of life.

Your inputs, that is. No sudden movements!

I’m really loving this last point. I don’t necessarily know if I’m a believer in karma, but I will say that folks are always more willing to help you out of a tough spot if you’ve given them a hand in the past.

This is something I hadn’t thought of before. Learn the look of road conditions and be on the lookout for them any time you hit the road.

Watching the weather and clearing the snow before it gets frozen to the windshield is that kind of common-sense advice that I can’t imagine I never thought of before.

I hope I’m never in the position where I need to rely on my car snacks for survival, but this is a good tip.

Honestly, I feel like I assume no one knows what they’re doing any time I hit the road, let alone in the winter.

I mean… you’ve got a fair point.
