The year before last; the snow plows in my city literally didn't bother. They were out on the roads once for the whole year, leaving the roads covered in several feet of snow for weeks. People were stranded, there were dozens of accidents (largely from ice buildup), and the contractor crew that was supposed to plow+sand/salt was fired and fined massively.

Just get a sled.

Less gas, no warming up, no worries about plowing.
