I lived in West Stockbridge Mass and commuted to Schenectady NY (54 miles each way) every weekday for 7 years. I had a front wheel drive Accord for most of that time. I carried 2 snow tires in the trunk and would swap them if it looked like snow. I got to the point I could do them both in about 10 minutes. I also kept a good regular shovel in the trunk.
I helped dig out many drivers of 4WD on the Interstate. They were going too fast on all-season tires and didn't know how to steer in a skid.
I'm heading to Idaho for 10 days and I'll be driving in the snow the entire time. Not the first time in 20+ years, but long time since I've had to do a lot of snow driving. I will have a 4WD pickup.
