I did that last week when I got caught an hour from home. Took me 4 and half hours to drive home. Hazzards on the entire way at 15 mph. Never again.

And, seriously, the "only car that doesn't care about the snow" is a Suburban?! I know plenty of cars that would do a much, much better job than a Suburban in the snow.

Is BMW now offerıng another color Whıte on ıts pallete...Snow Whıte?
Some decent snow tıres wıll help a lot, as I have found out thıs wınter. However, when the snow gets deep you are screwed. Really...WTF are you talkıng about? There ıs always someone on thıs sıte who has to come from way out of left fıeld wıth a stupıd comment that has no bearıng whatsoever wıth the topıc beıng dıscussed.

Snow-snow tires + Lip = Snowplow!
Yes, you need to get a winter beater. Oh, and that white stuff on the road when everything drys out... it's not snow, and it's all up in your car waiting to 'worm' it's way out someday! I lived one winter in Chicago with my E46 M3. Brand new, but had snow tires. Everyone else at work drove winter beaters and thought I was a strange for using such a nice car in the winter.

I can think of a dozen vehicles right now (not necessarily SUVs) that are way more effective in heavy snow than a 4WD Suburban.

i only own suburban and an M3 the M3 has snows (dunlop winter sport m3) and it makes the car drivable. the suburban has been in storms in vermont with no trouble getting through anything . if there are other cars that can do that then great.
