Meanwhile people who just need to get up before the plows run and get to work 6 days a week buy a AWD or at the bare minimum a FWD.
I'd abandon 2WD if I lived there. I've made a couple winter treks through Idaho and Montana in the company vehicle, but it's got winter rated tires and AWD. I wouldn't have gone if the vehicle were any less capable.
