....but as said, it'll take money, effort, you'll have down time....it's not a practical choice...it would be a passionate choice.

As I said, you Southern folk (and as I said it is NOT NOT NOT and insult) have no idea. If the plow trucks get behind, it is nothing to have 6" to a foot of snow. North East Ohio is different, as is Erie Pa, Buffalo NY, etc from the rest of the country. We get lake effect snow. I have had 18" in my yard and 18 miles southwest, barely a trace and we live on the southern edge of the snow belt.

After all these years, I have learned a Corvette is not a winter car. It doesn't have the weight to punch down through the snow and the tires are way too wide.

Even my buddy in Alberta Canada can't fathom the way it snows around the southern/eastern sides of the Great Lakes.
