We don't chain in MN. We're flat enough it isn't necessary. This is 4 inches of slush and shouldn't be a problem.

If you're not allowed fascist asshole, folk will come out and help you when you get stuck.

Ah. I'm in Wyoming where no chains or 4WD equals a bad time.

This past early autumn, I was just in the Idaho/Montana/Wyoming region visiting Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons before the government shut down.

What a gorgeous area. I really wish I was wealthy enough to keep a residence there. I've only been there once before as a child. The pictures don't really do it justice.

The pictures really do not do it justice. I bought an old house here in 2016 and moved in 2018. Back in 2016 the home prices were not insane.
