You also want to make sure that you have your lights on, that way any other drivers can see exactly where you are.  If you are driving in a manual car, you want to make sure that you use low gears – that way you will keep the traction that you have.

Do not ever use cruise control when you are driving in the snow, as it can actually make you hit bad spots versus avoiding them.
