Not 2 foot of snow, but a honda will drag itself through snow up to it's bumper with approprate tires.

Looking at that table explanes a lot about why my samurai gets such poor milage. We only have a bit of paved road and my 5 mile (one way) drive to work barely gets my rig up to temp, and only the last half mile is on pavement. That 35% hit for gravel varifies what I have suspected for a while.
