The DOT does a great job of keeping the road clear so we have no problems going to town in my SUV. It has all wheel drive so all 4 wheels pull all the time, which gives you better traction even in the rain and is great in the snow.
It made it up to 50 degrees today and I am so glad to see the sun! There is rain in the forecast by Saturday, which is okay as long as it doesn't turn to freezing rain!
