In MN, you dress for the worst that could happen in winter. Black ice, speeding driver, quick ground blizzard. I've been cold enough often enough. I have extra warm gear in the truck, and have no problem looking like the Jolly Green Doughboy when it gets cold. If I have to walk, I will survive. If I have to sit in the truck in a ditch overnight, I will survive.
My truck is 2wd and I get where I want by being careful. I've driven past a lot of 4wd vehicles in need of tow trucks because they believed the TV ads.
I also feel no need to prove I can drive in a blizzard. If the roads are bad enough to need 4wd, I stay home and let the plows work. Not having 4wd means nobody expects me to be out and about when the weather moves in.
