Good point. This is the way Chavez kept Venezuela primed for his socialist progroms. No poo paper, no milk, no bread, no rice, no staples available unless you wait in line. Meantime, the folks with money are able to shop in Miami and fly high quality merchandise home in their Cessna. Lots

If theres so much snow I can't get through it with my 240D and snow tires I shouldn't be out. It'll push snow up to the top of the bumper with little concern, deeper if its powder. A heavy car with narrow tires and not too much power is a good snow vehicle. Scott is right about a locking

How deep is the snow likely to be? If I were looking for a snow vehicle it would be a 4X4 truck with some clearance. Our old 4Runner was pretty good and I have no complaints about my F150. Both are the sort that cannot be driven on dry pavement in 4 wheel drive but are pretty stable on
