Sounds like y’all need more snow plows! LOL! Are there no 2000 Accords in your neck of the woods?

I moved to the area with a 1994 Saturn SL2 and 1996 SW2. My house is on a cul-de-sac that is too narrow for the snow plow to access. Once the snow reached 6", the Saturn cars were trapped in my driveway. My SW2 was broadsided in late June 2003 by a drunk hispanic teenager in San Diego. We used the insurance settlement as down payment on a 1999 Ford F150 4x4. That solved the problem with getting out of the driveway and out of the cul-de-sac. Subsequently, we purchased a 2003 Escape 4x4. That was replaced by the 2008 Mariner Hybrid. I'm very pleased with the F150 and Mariner for negotiating snowy streets.

My city, Chubbuck, usually has the streets plowed by 7 AM on most snow days. Pocatello sold off most of their plows, so they do a terrible job in comparison.

I really hope everyone was OK after that incident and the drunk was prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!

Now all you need to do is get a little plow to attach to the front of your 99 Ford 4x4! LOL!

Well FRiend, sounds like you have a pretty sweet setup. As for me, I'll stick to my nice mild PacNW coastal type weather!
