Thanks for replies. I go back and forth over this issue. While I lived in heavy snow areas during undergrad (upstate NY) and graduate school (Boston area) we now live where it doesn’t snow that much and 4 wheel drive isn’t necessary. And I agree that the biggest threat – when it does snow here – is from the other drivers who are unfamiliar with winter driving.
