“If you stay with regular tires, remember that on loosely packed snow you will need about 80 feet to stop from 20 miles an hour,” says Hetzel who teaches at Virginia Tech. “On glare ice, the stopping distance increases to 150 feet.”

Whatever the type of tires, they should be kept at recommended air pressure. Reducing pressure does not increase traction, but it does increase tire wear.

Cash Tips

Persons who work in jobs where they receive cash tips can earn valuable Social Security protection through those tips, if they are reported to the employer, according to Bruce Hundley, manager of the Culpeper Social Security office.

Cash tips amounting to S20 or more in a month in a person’s work for one employer count for social security. Tips received in a form other than cash do not count.

A worker is required to give his or her employer a written report of tips if they add up to S20 or more in a month. The report is due within 10 days after the end of the month, but an employer can require reports more often.
