We have very wet, very dense snow here, so it only has to snow about 6 inches or more for my car to start having trouble. I have winter tires, but the snow piles up under the car (low clearance) and then I start spinning my wheels. Up north were it was light and fluffy dry snow, it was like having a little snow plow.

We have that wet, dense snow here. I bought a Prius last year and it's got the lowest front bumper ever. Last winter wasn't bad so I don't know how it will handle it our typical snow. They don't plow the roads in my subdivision and there are frequently 8 to 12 inch (20 to 31cm) hills of snow in-between the tire tracks. My friend up north (who gets light fluffy snow usually) said the one time she tried to drive in that kind of snow, she got stuck.

We'll see what happens this year.
