Im sure that will help to some degree, Im in DC and expecting about 5-7 inches, cover is on the car and I dont expect to drive it for 3-4 days. I think with every crosffire should come with an old beater of a 4wd for those few weeks you need it. except got you guys that live further up north that may require it a little longer. But in any case the crossfire just isnt an all year round Northern car unles you go out and purchase some thin steel rims and winter tires(and im talking the ones with the metal studs in them cus with real wheel drive you'll need it). Its ironic that I actually traded in my Land Rover for the crossfire, a little diff in the snow. :-) best bet is to stay inside keep warm stay off the streets and be safe.
