Well it doesn’t have to be super lifted. But the key to driving on deep snow covered roads is ground clearance. Chains + big clearance will get you through any conditions. Even off-roading.
There is this invention called the snow plow that comes by every hour or sometimes sooner. Even if rates are 3’/hr, that is drivable with proper vehicles.
2’ wont be on the roadway surfaces at any one time. Maximum of 4” in between plowings on main roads. It’s fine.
There are risks in every day life. A deer can run out at anytime and knock you off the road. If people are scared, they can stay home, and let the brave people venture out and enjoy a snowy game.
These younger generations have gone soft. It wasn’t long ago we had brave men storming the beaches of Normandy. Now they are afraid to drive slowly on roads with a few inches of snow on them.
