Yeah, the main reason I put up with the poor gas mileage of the four wheel drive SUV is being able to get just about anywhere in the snow.

I notice one interesting thing happen when I was parked in perfectly flat 14". When I came back out about an hour or so later, the wind had cleaned the snow out from under my car down to the pavement. I had a clean spot in front, little trails behind the tires and a big scoop behind the car. The back window had about 2" on it, but the rest of the car was clean as a whistle. I really need to get a camera phone, because this was awesome.
