    I find snow chains to be far more effective on the road, with the increased clearance and suspension travel of 4WD more useful in rough, off-road terrain. I've been able to drive a three-ton, rear-wheel-drive '73 Lincoln Continental in pretty adverse conditions with chains, while many overconfident four-by drivers were trying to get themselves unstuck from the side of the road. I'm not knocking 4WD/AWD, but it's not a magic bullet that renders you impervious to conditions (although, many people seem to think so). If you want definitive proof, go to any mountain pass where I live in Colorado, such as Wolf Creek Pass (or any high mountain pass in the country), during a serious snow event. The state troopers will be there, checking vehicles for snow chains, to the extent that they will watch you put them on. No chains, and you have to turn around. And they don't care one whit if your vehicle is four-wheel drive or not.

    Sorry i see snow as an aggressive pest..Us folks dread seeing that white stuff.Its a nuisance for us.Not use to it..everything just stops when we have it.Heck no one down here knows what chains and snowplows are..Its pretty to see on the yard but a pain in the rear when we get it.

    Honestly, my moods are easily changed by outside influences and the amount of sugar I have consumed. So, sometimes I appreciate it's beauty and sometimes it just plain pi**es me off. Hmm, think I'm still a bit raw today, Ma.

    Good write.x.

    Snow is lovely...but I don't like shoveling it (but I'm the one who has to do it, as my wife's heart can't take the stress of shoveling).

    Fortunately it's 45 degrees in NYC today, predicted 52 degrees tomorrow.

    No shoveling for me, at least until the next snow this weekend! We had rain last night and it is 59F today so far!

    shovel your way out and forge a new journey into the unknown!!!!!!

    With you by my side, snow shall not bind.

    The warmth in your heart shortly I shall find.

    And cuddled close, we shall thumb our noses

    At the snow which tries to break us.
