To all the southerners that think roads (and other driving surfaces) in the north are plowed perfectly...
This is the parking lot of my apartment complex. 6-8 inches of snow, nothing plowed. Took me about an hour to get out, and I'm fairly confident I would not have made it if I didn't have AWD.

And this is an average condition road. Not too bad overall, but there was a slick layer of ice under the powder which didn't help. Again, not many issues for me, but if I had my old RWD truck I would have had a fun time accelerating.

As you may be able to infer, I'm not very happy right now.
) An hour late to work makes me an hour to leave on my road trip, and I don't even know what's in store for me in Milwaukee and Chicago... -_-
