I don't recall now how much sand that was. It was a number of years ago,
and something that I didn't want to be doing anyway. Call the state cops
and ask where they are weighing trucks, or a public scale at a moving
company, to get the weight right. There's no trick to driving in snow,
just try to drive as if you have a raw egg between your foot and the
brake & gas pedals. Smoooooth is the way. Narrow tires help--remember
VW beetles?
