Drove in the storm today. With winter tires, I have great grip on the roads except when the snow reaches my bumper. I felt like I almost burned out a new clutch by riding it in order to keep my momentum going. I heard tire slip may pre-maturely wear out the transmission too. Until I get an suv for the winter, how should I handle driving in this weather? Studded tires? Chains? Thanks!

Pull off the spark plug wire, put a plug in and lay it on top of the intake manifold. Have someone turn the car over and see if it sparks. Fuel, pull off the hose from the fuel rail and see if it gushes when turned over. Can go further and get a stethoscope to listen for the injectors clicking.
