Maybe even lots of snow. If you do not have to drive in it or remove it, snow can be very beautiful.

Our tester had winter snow tires, thankfully, given that there was plenty of snow to drivein, and that meant that when we were on dry pavement there was less traction than you'd get from a grippier summer tire.
The hybrid cars built by Toyota and Honda Motor (nyse: HMC - news - people ) save fuel and are marvelous engineering exercises, but you don't want to drive on those skinny tires in the Snow Belt, believe me.
