    I made it home during the snowpocalypse in Atlanta about 10 years ago… in a lowered 2005 Mini Cooper S… On summer UHP tires… A lightweight front wheel drive car, with a stick and a limited slip differential, driven appropriately can go through basically any winter weather until ground clearance is a problem. It is probably better than something heavier in heavy ice conditions like I was in. I was puttering along, starting in 2nd gear to minimize wheelslip, managing my momentum, and passing more bro dozers in ditches or sliding backwards down hills than you would believe.
