  1. I live in Fargo, and driving on icy roads really isn't a "skill" you can develop (especially if it's black ice). I guess the only thing I've learned from living here is just to drive more slowly, and try to anticipate ice based on the temperature and presence of precipitation such as snow, sleet or ice. 4WD vehicles are obviously a great investment but some people can't afford it. I keep a shovel in my trunk to dig myself out in case I wind up in the ditch (which I've actually had to do once, after I skidded off the road at a cloverleaf). But plenty of times I've seen cars that are in the median upside down, with the lights on and the wheels still spinning. Even people who live here don't know how to drive during the winter, lol. I've also got a homemade 'winter survival kit' in my car which includes an extra jacket, hat, gloves, a blanket, matches and some candles. Enough things to keep me warm while waiting if I ever needed roadside assistance. Our winters here are no joke.
