Is it better to park your car facing out in the driveway before a snow storm?

Asked by janbb (63332points) 3 hours ago

That’s what I usually do but now I’m wondering whether it is necessary. It occurs to me that that made sense if you have a rear wheel drive car to push the car over any snow. But if your car is all wheel drive, is there any advantage to parking thusly?

Face out (towards the street), so you can get push from the rear wheels and accelrate into the street.

And don’t forget a blanket over the window/windshield so you don’t need to brush or scrape.

@elbanditoroso But my question is if you have all wheel drive does it make a difference?

I vote for facing toward the street so that it is easier to pull out into traffic. Double that if the road or driveway is slick.
