Late fall, early spring, I'd wait for the melt. Winter season, I'd wait for the road crews, and leave after melt.
I grew up in icy sothern Minnesota. And, I hate the ice. Every once in awhile, I still get caught.
Like march, 2018, driving from CEDAR RAPIDS airport to Missouri. In a huge late spring snow drop, 25 trucks and cars in the ditch in 8 miles. Me, in a front wheel drive rental, white knuckled Florida girl, remembering the old rules, staying steady in the one sort of clean, plowed sometime ago lane., slushy but sort of clear, ice beneath the surface Watching people spin out ahead of me. Total yuk.
Next day, after picking up my mom, back to CID airport, roads clear, sunny skies, but still overturned semis in the ditch from the day before. Grateful I had made it south some 20 miles to the end of the snow band.
Now that I've lived in the south for almost 40 years, I love to see the snow in shoulder season. I also have the patience, and time, to let it melt.
We've only towed our Elite I shorty in snow a few times. It towed admirably. We don't put it in our plans. Don't care to .
