>Relatedly, I once had to get up super early to shadow a friend of mine in a college class. Ended up falling asleep at least twice during the lecture because I was just that damn tired. I had no clue how college students did it but fuck if I didn't think they were troopers.

It helps that, generally speaking, a lot of college students live on campus. It's easier to roll out of bed 20 minutes before class than it is to commute.

I feel awful for the family, but not for the person who thought it would be a good idea to do this. They made a really, really dumb decision and paid a high price because of it.

Four-seater side-by-sides are heavy - about as heavy as a car - and they're not something people should generally be taking out onto the ice. It's even worse when it's been as warm as it had across the state.

Both Muck and Bog (the brand names) make insulated boots intended for winter weather. My Bogs are rated for something stupid like -50°. I bought some heavy socks to wear with them going into the first winter I had them, but only wore them once because the boots themselves were more than enough.

You're being downvoted because you're wrong.

The point of 4WD/AWD is to help get your vehicle moving and/or get it over obstacles by powering four wheels instead of just two. These modes will not assist you with steering, braking, or staying on the road.

Edit: Everyone downvoting me doesn't understand how 4WD/AWD actually works, or what it actually does.

If you have 4WD/AWD, please don't drive as if that will actually do anything to keep you on the road during snowy or icy conditions. These are about getting your vehicle moving, not about steering, braking, or staying on the road.
