I live in MN and this will be my first winter with the Z. I have an Astro Cargo van for work and will use it for personal trips when its snowing. but I am considering driving the Z when its not snowing for personal car trips. I am going to pick up a pair of snow tires and my ground rules will basically be at least 24hrs after snowfall with 10% or less chance of precip while I'm out. Also will be based on where I need to go, as some burbs are better at plowing then others in this metro. Snow is on the ground for a solid 4 months however the streets themselves are usually down to the pavement, unless you have to go out of the metro into the sticks. You have to be careful about ice but that is going to be the case no matter what your driving. In some ways its better to be in a car that slips around a lot because you will be driving a lot more cautiously and will be less likely to be caught off guard by it. There is always just has many, if not more 4x4's in the ditches as cars.
