You must be honest, Thor. 2" of the right kind of snow packed down to ice on the road can be treacherous. Around here , the early season wet stuff is the worst, which I'm assuming is much like the snow they receive.

For driving in snow: All season tyres are better than highway tyres. Snow tyres are better than all season tyres. Snow tyres with studs are better than snow tyres without them. Then on to chains. End of lesson.
