With the right tires & some weight in the back either Crossfire will do OK.
Though I drive the Wintermobile when the snow gets serious (another foot forecast for tonight.......your storm, Milk!) I have been in situations when we get these 'surprise' snow storms.
Got stuck in a 3" snowfall last year & I drive w/ F1 A/S all year long.
Once you get going though, the Xfire feels great on the road. It's stable & feels very secure when zipping along the highway on plowed roads.
OK, well maybe 'zipping' isn't the right word!
Welcome to the Midwest, Milk!!
